Displaying Album Artwork for Internet Radio Streams?

I see that my favorite internet radio station www.radioparadise.com is now sending data which can be seen in the window inside itunes that displays songs etc.
the URL is:
http://www.radioparadise.com/graphics/covers/m/XXXX.jpg where the XXXX is the file name for the specific song being streamed.
Is there a way to use this data inside itunes to may the artwork display?
thanks.

Well, thank you!
How it worked for me: I added a matching album and artist tags to some random track in the library and my stream. Then I added an artwork (the one I need for the stream) to both files while "editing info for multiple files". It was added to both files. Then I returned the random track to its old tags. Suddenly the stream's artwork disappeared. Last step - I renamed the stream to its original name deleting its artist and album tags (since it is a radio station stream, these tags were empty initially). Artwork reappeared. I can see it in list, grid and Cover Flow views.
Hey, this might actually qualify for macosxhints website!

  • IPod Photo won't display album artwork for purchased songs

    I bought some songs on the ITunes Music Store, and I can see the album artwork on the ITunes, I can also see in my IPod the artwork for most of the songs that I've downloaded, but I CAN'T see the artwork for those recently purchased.
    I also noticed that when I purchased songs I had a duplicated file for each one of them, stored in \iTunes\iTunes Music\ and \My Downloads\ respectively, so I deleted the copies from \My Downloads\
    Bottom line is, I can see all the album artwork in my iTunes, but my iPod Photo won't display some of it (specifically, the songs that I purchased)

    Probably, the easiest way to resolve this is to copy the artwork from one song on an album and paste it into every song on that album.
    In your iTunes Library, choose an album that has artwork issues; choose one track that has the artwork and copy it. Then:
    the slightly longer method is to check each song individually, until you find the one with the missing artwork. Paste (the copy previously made) from one of the other tracks on the album.
    a slightly quicker method is to highlight all the songs on that album (make sure it is just that one album) and paste the artwork into the box.
    Sync the iPod with your iTunes Library.

  • ITunes 11.1.4 for mac not playing Internet radio streams

    I updated the iTunes app a couple of days ago and in exploring international internet radio streams, I noticed that none of them work.
    Anyone else having the same issue with the latest iTunes update?

    sberman,
    Thanks for the link. I've seen that page before and tried everything on it, but I'm still having the problem. From what I read in other threads, so are many other people.

  • Where's the "Display album artwork on your iPod" preference?

    Everything seems to work fine with iTunes 9.0.1 and my iPod Classic 80G, except that it doesn't seem possible to remove album artwork from the iPod. I just read the article "[Viewing album artwork on iPod|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2317?viewlocale=en_US]" and I know that I just have to deselect the "Display album artwork on your iPod" preference in iTunes. The problem is that, after selecting my iPod under the Devices section in the iTunes Source pane, I can't find any such preference in the Music tab. I can see two radio buttons ("Entire music library" and "Selected playlists, artits, and genres") and one checkbox ("Include music videos"), but no "Display album artwork on your iPod" checkbox.
    Any idea?

    Since when has the left hand known what the right hand is doing in any organiszation.
    Can you give a reference supporting your statement ?
    From Apple? No. Plenty of threads in here though, both builds of iTunes 9 released for Mac & PC have been missing this feature and people have given feedback. This is either a policy change and it will remain that way or it was accidentally omitted during the redesign in which case it may reappear in a future build. Either way the control isn't magically missing from just your copy, it's the same for all of us.

  • Where's Display Album Artwork option? It's missing

    I've read the document, I know where it's supposed to be...but it's not there.
    My friend is having issues with her iPod Touch displaying incorrect artwork on her iPod, even though it shows correctly in iTunes. I told her to unsync the artwork then resync it. We connected her iPod, selected it under Devices, clicked on the Music tab....but the option to Display Album Artwork on iPod just isn't there.
    Any ideas? She's running 7.5 on a G5.

    There is no option for the ipod touch to not sync artwork, it just does, you can't turn it on or off. If you are having problems with artwork mismatched, the thing to do is to turn off music syncing all together, sync the ipod, so all the music is erased from it. Then turn music syncing back on and let it resync. Make sure you have your music still in itunes or backed up before you erase it from the ipod, it will erase it.

  • Album artwork for each track

    Hi all,

    Your post is a little vague. Something useful for you here perhaps?
    *Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
    iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded or downloaded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from the first track to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exists for the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
    *How to find tracks without artwork*
    To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackswithoutartwork for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus.
    I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize a smallish image you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably a good minimum size. iTunes store art seems to be generally 600x600 which is probably a good maximum.
    I've not, so far, been able to locate a script to automate the process of replicating art from a track that has it to other tracks of the same album without art (or work out how to write one actually I could do it now so I'll probably have one ready in the next few days...) however if you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Control-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
    *Rebuild artwork cache*
    Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache *(Pre iTunes 9 only)*, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again. *Post iTunes 9*, the only option is a full restore of the iPod.

  • Please walk me thru creating a playlist in iTunes for internet radio stations

    Please walk me thru creating a playlist in itunes specifically for internet radio. The itunes help page is not detail enough.

    Create a new playlist
    Open iTunes
    Click the + button in the lower left corner of the window.
    Name your playlist
    Add radio stations:
    On the left side of the iTunes window, at the top is the "Library" group. Under "Library" should be an item called "Radio." Click that to open the radio listings. If you do not see "Radio" in iTunes, go to the menu bar at the top of your screen and open iTunes > Preferences. In the preferences window, under the General tab, make sure Show > Radio is checked and click OK.
    Find a station in the Radio listing.
    Drag that station from the listing on the right side of the window to the new playlist you created on the left side, and drop.
    You now have a playlist with a streaming radio station in it.
    To add stations not listed in the iTunes radio listings:
    Locate the stream URL (if you need further help, post which radio station you want exactly)
    Copy the URL to your clipboard (command+C)
    open iTunes
    In the menu bar at the top of your screen, click on Advnaced > Open Stream...
    Paste the URL (command+V)
    Click OK
    Your new radio stream should now appear in a playlist called "Internet Songs." Open that playlist.
    Drag the station from the Internet Songs playlist into your own playlist.

  • Error When Trying to Re-check "Display Album Artwork"

    Here's my issue, I have a 30 gb photo ipod and I added album artwork in iTunes to all of my music on my ipod. The artwork displays in iTunes, but does not show up on the iPod. When I go to iPod options in iTunes and uncheck, then recheck "Display album artwork on your iPod", I get "The iPod "(myname)" cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50)." I updated to the latest iPod software, using iPod Updater 2005-06-26 and I also have the latest iTunes software (4.9). I see other people with the same type of error, but nobody getting the same error number as me.

    Wow. I sure am impressed with the amount of help available to the average new iPod user! I started using the iPod (60gb/using newest iTunes on XP) about one week ago, and have had about three problems - all of which were resolved without panic or hassle by simply browsing forums or checking the manual.
    I thought it was pretty cool to be able to place the artwork on the 'Pod while the song is playing, so I started throwing the art from amazon.com (an invaluable resource for album art!) to the 'Pod. Wouldn't you believe it - nothing showed up! iTunes showed it - I could see it - but nothing on the 'Pod! I tried the "check and uncheck show album art icon," at which time I started getting the "Cannot update [my iPod] - Unknown error -50" error. A bit of searching and WHAMMO! The answer is upon me! Unload all the music, add the art to the songs in iTunes, and reload the songs! I'm sure it'll work like a charm (without a doubt!).
    I usually have limited amounts of time to tinker with the 'Pod, so I'm glad things can be solved so quickly! I'm also glad I've only got 5.6gb of tunes on the 'Pod that I have to re-load! My heart goes out to those who have customized artist info/track listings, however... As well as those who have the full 60 filled... It's got to be terrible to get news that you've got to unload that fine piece of machinery (apparently you can't say "s*cker" or "su*ka"). I'll definitely be sure to make any modifications (aside from volume controls from song to song) in iTunes before loading the songs to the 'Pod!
    Hurray!

  • Use iTunes for internet radio - settings question

    Hi all,
    I have a Linn Klimax DS (digital streaming) unit as part of an audio system, and that's being fed over my Cat5 network by a Twonky MediaServer installed on one of my mac's. That Twonky setup has SHOUTcast enabled and was serving internet radio fine and identified the stations until I installed iTunes 8 yesterday. I made the mistake of clicking on the button that says 'Use iTunes for Internet radio' in the preferences-> advanced->general pane.
    Basically, I need to find out what precisely that setting actually does under the hood, so I can use the command line to reset that, turn it off, or undo basically what it did set.
    Hope someone can shed a bit of light on that, maybe even just a hint, as I have been through the console logs, but haven't seen anything that jumps out at me. Thanks in advance for any help.
    Chris

    It's in Preferences>Advanced>General.
    Hope this helps.

  • Recording internet radio streams...

    Does anyone know of an effective means of recording internet radio streams as .mp3 or .ogg files? I did a LITTLE bit of searching and only found stuff for windows.

    If I remember well, I managed to record video brodcasts from the Internet using mplayer. It is full of options and it might be a place to start. The thing is that the video I've recorded was of fixed length and I believe you want to capture live radio.

  • On my ipod touch 4g, its showing the incorrect album artwork for the songs

    On my ipod touch 4g it's showing incorrect album artwork. I have music I bought from iTunes and some music from the internet that isn't included in iTunes. The problem has been going on for a while but i've ignored it but now I would like the correct album artwork for each song. First, I deleted every single song in my itunes iTunes libaray, then synced my ipod. Then i put the music i bought from iTunes in my libaray and synced it and the album artwork that showed was from songs and albums that I had deleted from my iTunes libaray. It's becoming a very fustrating problem that I would like to be solved.

    Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art? I've checked the User manual and that doesn't help.

    Why don't you, instead of taking time to do that, just backup, and then restore your iPod?
    Just a suggestion..

  • Is it possible to create a link that I can place on a website to an internet radio stream on iTunes?

    Is it possible to create a link that I can place on a website to an internet radio stream on iTunes?

    Yes, but it WON'T play through the browser. It'll require any visitor who clicks it to have iTunes installed, and it'll open iTunes as soon as they do.
