Display of pictures when playing song

I just bought a Zen 8GB and?encountered the following. When copying the front-label of a music album to the device, the picture isautomatically transferred and if needed resized. When playing the music album,the picture is shown on the left, which is a nice feature. BUT, somethimes thisindeed happens, but sometimes it just doesn't and I cannot figure out why?What are the needed properties for these pictures and how should they be treatedin order to be automatically shown next to the song that is currently playing. ... I know it's not an very?urgent matter, but still it would be nice if I could use this option. Thanks in advance for you input!?Greetz,Kilkenny

Hello?Sorry for my english, i'm french?If you want see the picture, use MP3TAG. I think your mp3 are not properly tag.

IPod Touch shows the wrong artwork when playing songs

Recently my iPod Touch has just decided to display all the wrong artwork when playing songs. For example I will be listening to Chris Brown and It will be showing a picture of a Jay-Z album. How do I fix this?!
I've read that all you have to do is 'uncheck "display album artwork" in the music preferences section when your iPod is connected and click "apply". Then sync your iPod.'.. however I manually add the songs onto my iPod so I can't uncheck the music option as it's already unchecked!
Please help, my iPod looks so ugly showing the wrong artwork lol

First:
SOLUTION(FIX): Editing Song titles and...: Apple Support Communities
Then:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?

How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?
When I play from my phone and switch to the mini player it's always showing the music notes in the thumbnaill. It'd be nice if it could get album art off of the phone.
I'm on iTunes version 11.0.4.4

He @mracole,
it is very nice that you post a solution to complete the library with artwork for album's that do not have an artwork. Your solution perfectly addresses the problem for assigning artwork, BUT this thread is about CHANGING artwork for albums already uploaded into iTunes Match. Just try to replace for example a blue artwork cover for an album with a red one. If you made it in a simple way (without deleting the album from iTunes Match and local changes on the files with an external ID3-Application or 2 or more iTunes libraries on different Mac's) this is the right place to give a solution. I really tried for hours to change the artwork to make them visible in landscape cover flow mode on my iPhone5. In rare cases I made it, but then the covers sometimes where restored to the old onces - exacly how it is mentioned by Starhawk
As long as there is no simple way to change the cover of an iTunes Match stored album (you can change title, artist and so on without hitting "update iTunes Match" over all distributed Library on different devices - this date will be synchronized almost instantly) I considered the behaviour from iTunes as BUGGY! For me the local artwork cache (and if there is any iCloud artwork cache - I don't know) do not interfere with iCloud. Even when I delete the whole local cache (album artwork music - everything) I do not manage to change the artwork.

You have 2 options: #1 - iPod Repair Tutorials
#2 - take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

MY IPOD SKIPS WHEN PLAYING SONGS

MY IPOD SKIPS WHEN PLAYING SONGS AND THE SOUND GOES IN AND OUT. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Is the Battery level is low?
The harddisk might be dying, run the disk diagnostic, the procedure is
http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml
if it is too technical for you, but it does gives you the condition of your harddisk.
What's happening is that some songs are on bad cluster, which need to be moved or reallocate to good cluster.
To fix it in Windows simply run
chkdsk drive: /R /F
where drive: is the iPod drive ID. D: or E:
in Mac run Diskutilty -> FirstAid -> repair.
Good luck!

When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

Max OSX 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1
I had a similar problem: I wanted to synch my playlist to my iphone. I like to have my playlist sorted by genre. But under each genre, albums are not sorted by the track numbers. This is a problem, especially when I am listening to club mixes when the DJ smoothly transitions from 1 track sequentially to the next one. Under the properties of each audio file, the Track Numbers and Disc Numbers are already there.
My perfect solution was to turn On Sorting - Sort Album under View>Show View Options. Then, select all the songs in that album (Shift click, Cmd click, etc) , and Edit multiple item information (Cmd I). You will see Info-Video-Sorting-Options buttons. Click on Sorting. Then, under Sort Album, Enter the name of the album. Then OK.
You should now have the playlist sorted by Genre, then each album individually sorted by track numbers. On your playlist you should see, if you scroll right, the column added called "Sort Album".
Hope this helps.

I have a iPhone 3GS but the volume keeps going down till its off when playing songs. Help!, I have a iPhone 3GS but the volume keeps going down till its off when playing songs. Help!

I have a iPhone 3GS but the volume keeps going down till its off when playing songs. Help!, I have a iPhone 3GS but the volume keeps going down till its off when playing songs. Help! I didn't have this problem before. I am listening via the speakers of my stereo. I have done that before but never had a problem like this before.

Thought it had worked but soon found out it had not.
after further days of trying finally, solved it for me Yesterday.
turned off notifications when locked, and bingo, wow.
i have not turned off iCloud but location services are also off.
best thing to do I found was keep checking your usage, settings, general, usage, and flip down to bottom, if the standby and usage are similar there is a problem, if there is a big difference then all is ok. Just keep turning things off and on until the difference is very apparent.
something on my phone was keeping the phone alive even when turned off, and I think this was the phone repeatedly trying to update continually.
to me this is definitely down to the iOS, my wife has exactly same phone and iOS but hers doesn't have any problem and the battery lasts for days.
the guy at the Genius Bar told me to restore the phone via iTunes, not iCloud. This is because iCloud remembers the exact info from your phone and simply reinstates it when you restore, and this includes the iOS too.
when I get home from holidays that's what I'll do, or wait for iOS 8 in few weeks. But I'm so pleased I finally made it work, I was beginning to think ditch the phone and buy Samsung.
anyway anyone out there please try my final solution and let me know if it works for you?

Can iPod display Genre info. when a song is playing?

If so, how?
Right now iPod dispalays Title, Artist and Album.
I really need the Genre information to show up, and was trying to see if there is a way to control what gets displayed when a song is playing.
Thanks,

The only way to do it would be to add it to the song or artist entry.

ITunes 7 gives error message when playing songs off ipod

Whenever I connect my ipod to my computer and use itunes to play songs from it...it gives me the following message whenever a song plays.
"iPod is in use and cannot be updated. The required file is in use."
Does anyone know why this would be happening? I have my iPod set on manual update and I have already installed and run the new iPod update so I have no idea why this is happening.
Thanks.
PS. I have a new 5th gen. model iPod.

How do you get album info to show when playing songs??

Ever since I let my 2 year old daughter play with my Ipod I can't get the song/album info to display when the song is playing. The screen just says "Now Playing" and there is nothing else displayed on the screen. All the songs diplayed their info when I first got the Ipod, but I can't seem to figure out how to get that info to display again.
Any advice??
Thanks

Album art not showing completely when playing songs on iphone

when i play songs on my ipod's iphone, for some reason not all cd cover images show up on a full view, (not in landscape mode) it will only show half of the picture. It happens with some songs/pictures not all. Is there any restriction? image size, resolution, type (jpeg, gif, bmp)?
thanks

first thing to check is to make sure each song has the correct album artwork.
if that is correct, delete the songs from the iTunes library, sync your phone to remove all of the songs from it, and then reimport your songs and resync.

When playing songs in itunes, songs will freeze or delay. How do I stop this?

My itunes has been doing this for months. I must admit that I do not believe my computer is that great(old), but, still, when playing music in iTunes, the timer or play clock will stop. The song will keep playing but the clock will stop moving for either 4 or 7 seconds. When this happens, everything freezes. Thus, you can't adjust volume, select another song, make a playlist, etc. Recently, I created a new user on my computer and installed iTunes under that name. The problem there is that there is no visible music library. My library only appears in "recently added." So, that is very concerning as well. I believe the music is delaying there, also. But it causes alarm if I were to reinstall on my main user and I couldn't see my library. I have a lot of music.
Please advise if anyone has a good solution.
Thanks,
Annette

This is the control DaVBMan is talking about. Tap the shuffle control until it shows white for shuffle off.

ITunes 7 doesn't display artwork of currently playing song

Minor annoyance, it was working correctly for a while but now instead of displaying the artwork for the song that is playing, it displays that for the song that is currently selected. Any ideas as to why?

I guess the Artwork pane is set to 'Selected Item'.
Click on the text 'Selected Item' to change it to 'Now Playing'.
Hope this helps.

When playing songs on my ipod the tracks begin 21 seconds into the song

Something weird is going on with my 3rd gen iPod Touch (32gb). When I play music, very often I run into a problem where all or most of the tracks in an album will begin playing 21 seconds into a song. For instance, I might select the first track in an album and it begins playing at 0:21. I can jump back to the beginning of the track and it plays normally, but then when the song ends it begins playing the next track at 0:21. This will continue for most of the tracks in a given album (but sometimes not all). I can always skip back to the beginning of the track, but each time an affected track is played it begins at 0:21.
I have reset my iPod to factory settings and then restored to a back up. I'm currently using iOS version 4.1 and I'm unfortunately unable to update any further. (Further iOS updates require updating iTunes, and I am unable to update past iTunes 9.2.1 because I'm still running OS 10.4.11.)

Additional info: It's not always 21 seconds, but the time remains consistent within an album. 75% of the tracks on The Lonely Island - Incredibad begin at 0:21. Half of the tracks on David Bowie - Scary Monsters begin at 3:16. The last two tracks on Ziggy Stardust begin at 2:24. Etc, etc.

Excessive static when playing songs on itune

When playing anything on Itunes whether it is a cd or imported music I got a lot of static. I also hear it if I play a cd, but not on other media such as You Tube.

Are you talking about your earphones when you say "input my speakers"? If so, have you tried testing another pair of earphones to make sure the problem is not the earphones? Do the songs play fine when you play them without the earphones (using the iPhone speaker at the bottom of your phone)? Is the problem with every song you play? If you rule out everything else but the iPhone as being the issue then you may want to visit an Apple store (if available) or a VZW store so they can check the device. You might also want to try taking your music off of the iPhone and then re-syncing them back to the phone to see if that does anything. I would guess that the problem is with the earphones or whatever speakers you may be plugging in. Also...this may seem like an obvious thing but check to make sure that the cable is inserted fully into the iPhone.
