Copy and Pasting album artwork

I'm trying to import/paste album artwork from the internet. How do I do that?

Short version: Get the artwork onto your computer. Then open iTunes, select the songs you are adding the artwork to. Do a Get Info on those songs and you will see an artwork box. Drag and drop the artwork from your computer onto that box. OK out of the Get Info screen.

  • Cannot copy and paste album artwork v10.5.1

    Used to be able to select an track, copy and paste from the album art window/frame and embed it into the tracks instead of relying on iTunes to fetch from the folder on the mac each time.
    This does not seem to work anymore with this version. Right click on the window does not result in a copy/paste dialogue.

    Select view source and copy/paste from there.

  • I have several albums in my library that do not show the album artwork.  It states it is not available in the iTunes store.  In the past I could copy and past album artwork.

    I have Windows 7 on my laptop and the latest version of iTunes.  I have several albums in my library that do not show the album artwork.  iTunes states that it is not available, even though the album is available on iTunes.  In the past, I could copy album artwork and then paste it on my albums in iTunes.  In the lates version of iTunes, a past option does not seem to be available.

    JPGronek,
    There are 3 ways to get custom art into the Artwork box:
    copy/paste
    drag-n-drop
    Add from a file location.
    In various iTunes releases, it is common that one of the the three is broken.  Try one of the others.

  • Why can't I copy and paste album artwork with the new iTunes?

    I updated to the new 10.5.1.(42) iTunes.  Now I can't add album artwork like I always have.  I open the artwork window in the lower left corner to access artwork.  I used to be able to right click/copy and right click/paste.  Now I can't.  This is a backwards step.  I'm getting fed up with Apple making changes for the worse.
    I can add artwork with many more steps but the method I mentioned above is(was) the quickest and easiest.
    Quit making changes just to make a change, Apple!
    And, yes, I submotted feedback to Apple through the link in iTunes.

    I went through updates on my three newest Macs this week.  As I stated I'm talking about iTunes 10.5.1 (42).  I am checking for updates now and I see 10.5.2 is now available.  I'll know in about 15 minutes if this issue is fixed or not.
    15 minutes later:
    I must have updated this PPC G5 a day or two before iTunes 10.5.2 came out.  I was able to update to 10.5.2 (11) and this copy/paste bug is fixed.  I'm happy again.

  • How do I add album artwork in itunes 11.1.3.8? Copy and paste in artwork window on bottom right does not work.

    You can only join tracks when importing from a CD and likewise, the Options button is also only visible when importing from CD.
    When the CD is in the drive and showing in iTunes, you will see Options, CD Info and Import CD choices. If you select Options, the Join CD Tracks option only appears when you have two or more adjacent tracks selected. See the screenshots below:

  • Copy and paste album art in iTunes 12 for Mac

    So I can copy and paste on my Windows version of iTunes 12.  But I can't copy in paste album art from the web on iTunes for Yosemite.  I have to save the image to my laptop and then click the add artwork button inside Get Info.
    Anyone else have this annoying issue?
    *edit* Tried moving this out of the iPhone section to iTunes for Mac but was unable to sorry.

    With iTunes open , click command - i. Click on artwork in the open box and drag art into it, been doing all night...

  • Do I have to cut and paste album artwork for all the albums in my library?

    So my 4gb ipod 1st gen is pretty much dead so I've bought a 3rd gen. 8gb nano, upgraded my iTuunes software to 7.5 and syncd my library onto my new iPod. All songs I've bought from iTunes have album artwork and one other old album I uploaded myself alos has album artwork but all 130 of the other albums in my library do not have artwork.
    I've gone to Advanced> Get Album Artwork, but I get the error message "could not find some artwork". I can't understand why only one of my uploaded albums has artwork visible on iTunes but all of the others don't? Do I really ahve to cut and past from Amazon for each album? Hope the anser is "No" becasue that's really time consuming!

    I guess you've figured out that the answer is "yes". Remember you can do groups of songs (like an album) at a time by selecting them and doing "get info". Also, by saving album art in the mp3 file, you can save it permanently.

  • Getting rid of copied and pasted artwork

    Yesterday my copy of the new Pearl Jam album arrived and included in the package was 2 free concerts to download, which I have done. All installed OK and I have managed to get them showing in my iTunes library.
    Now, not being proper releases there was no iTunes artwork for the albums however PJ did release both shows as official bootlegs a few years ago so there is artwork out there which I found using Google images. I promptly copied and pasted the artwork into iTunes.
    Only on one of them I mistakenly pasted the wrong artwork and now I can't get rid of it. "Clear downloaded album artwork" doesn't work. Now I have made this mistake many times with CD's I have copied and solved the problem by deleting the songs from the library and deleting the files altogether and re-copying but in this case I can't delete the files as I won't get them back again (being one-time free downloads). I have deleted the tracks from the iTunes library and re-added the files but the artwork re-appears again as if it has somehow welded itself to the files. Does anyone know how I can get rid of it so I can get the correct artwork on there?

  • ITUNES COPY AND PASTE ARTWORK PROBLEM

    Ive had a problem ever since I downloaded the newest itunes update and want to see if anyone else is having this issue.  I hope I can explain this accurately.
    When you have the album artwork displayed on the bottom left hand of the itunes screen.  I used to be able to double click on the artwork and copy that album cover art and paste it onto another track.  Ever since Ive updated itunes a couple weeks ago, the double clicking is no longer working.  When I doubleclick, it just doesnt work and doesnt give me the option to cut or copy anymore.  So now I have no ability to cut/copy and paste artwork from one album to another.  I used to always do t his routinely without a problem.  Is anyone else having this issue or have an idea what is going on?  Did a setting accidentally change?
    Im talking about the album artwork on the bottom left of the screen.  Double clicking it no longer works- doesnt give me any options.  (The music is not purchased from itunes so I often manually update the artwork)

    Copy from the artwork panel (and image selection between multiple artwork) is broken on this build. You can still copy art from the artwork tab in Get Info.

    I loaded iTunes on a new laptop. I copied and pasted my albums to a 4G stick and down loaded them to the new laptop. Placing them in, Libraries – Music – iTunes and than in Itunes used File – add file to library. So far so good. For what ever reason one of the CDs would not load onto the stick. I got the orginal CD and loaded directly to Itunes. Now when I look in  Libraries – Music – iTunes it’s not there but it is in and plays in iTunes. What should I have done or should I be doing? Thanks.

    It's not a unique situation - happens all the time, smaller hard drives getting filled up.
    It's also easy to fix. I just moved my itunes content to a bigger hard drive.
    First I made a backup of the itunes database file - iTunes Library.itl. Just in case anything went wrong.
    Nothing did go wrong, but I'd have it in case anything DID go wrong. That file holds ratings, playcounts, Date Added, and other metadata.
    Second, in itunes change the preferences > advanced tab to tell itunes to put everything on G:
    Set the itunes folder location to something like G:Media or G:iTunes
    This will affect all FUTURE additions to itunes and not do anything to the existing locations.
    Make sure the checkbox for "Keep itunes organized" is NOT checked. I also left the "Copy files when adding" unchecked.
    Third, to move all the files to G: without itunes losing the paths, run the File > Library > Organize > Consolidate command. This will need to run a while, so be patient as it copies all the files to the new G: location. This does NOT delete the originals. You will have to do that.
    Fourth, make sure everything in itunes is OK and you can play stuff in your library. If you're really cautious you can run a script to check for missing/dead tracks.

  • Cannot copy and paste a slideshow- and what is an Album?

    I have created a slideshow in a folder called MISC. I think it is a "slideshow" because the icon looks like a 35mm slide.
    I want to copy this slide show and move it to a folder called 2007.
    No matter what I do, I cannot copy and paste it. Once a slide show is created in a folder, are you now longer able to move it?
    also, what is an album and when would i start one. What is the purpose of an Album?

    I want to copy this slide show and move it to a folder called 2007.
    Is this in the iPhoto Window? Drag and drop.
    An album is an collection of photos. You might gather them together because you want to have all your photos of your dog in one place, quite independent of when they were taken. OF you can make a Smart Album based on any of the criteria you can discover by using the File -> New Smart Album command.
    The core difference between an album and an Event is that a photo can be in 100 albums and not take up any extra disk space whereas it cannot be in more than one Event without duplicating files.

  • Cannot copy and paste artwork in iTunes

    Cannot copy and paste artwork in itunes.  Does anyone have suggestions?

    First you need to open song info copy from or paste to the artwork box. It won't work with right click, you need to use the short cuts "cmd C" for copy and "cmd V' for paste.

  • How can I copy and paste the art work from album covers?

    How can I copy and paste the art work from album covers?

    I don't think the list style transfers. Copy and paste the text in to Mail, select it and then choose "Insert Numbered List" as a work around.
