Displaying Album Cover When Song Played on iPod

I have downloaded and synched several songs. When I play the songs on my iPod, it flashes the album cover for the album the songs came from. Very nice.
I recently copied one of my CD's into iTunes and then synched all of the songs on the CD to my iPod. When I play a song from the album, no album cover appears.
Why not and what can I do to display an album cover when I play a song from the CE?

Some music downloading sites have the artwork and artists/album/song name info pre-connected to the audio file through ID3 tagging. You can put the information in yourself by right-clicking the song/album (in iTunes) and clicking "Get Info". You can then edit the song name, artist, album, etc. You can also add/remove artwork, I simply search on Google images and then copy and paste it into the "Artwork" spot. You can also right click on the album and then click "Get Album Artwork", although that doesn't always work.
Also if you go to the file in Windows Explorer you can edit the ID3 tags for album, year, artist, etc.

Thanks in advance

Soundcheck is what you should be looking for.
It's in the edit/preferences/playback menu. Once you do this iTunes will go through all your imported songs files, so you'll need to sync the songs to your ipod again to reflect the changes.
Also, turn on the soundcheck feature in your iPod. Settings/soundcheck/on.
When you import a cd into iTunes, there is no option to adjust the volume.

Album cover and song info while using visualizer

Does anybody know of a way to make the album cover, artist, song title, and album title remain on screen while the song is playing?

Im not for sure how to do that, but the viz itself is part of G force as stated in "About iTunes" in the help menu. They may have some info about doing this. Here is a link to the G Force web site http://www.soundspectrum.com/g-force/

Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Artwork shows ok in itunes and ipod album view but not in ipod when song plays

Hi...
I've noticed somethig wierd with my ipod classic 160GB (v1.1.2).
I have an album with correct artwork. All songs have their artwork. iTunes shows this ok, when getting info song by song.
When I go to the album in ipod, I can see the artwork next to the album name.
When I actually play the album, the first song, the artwork appears ok.
From the second song on, artwork will not be displayed.
Any idea why this could be happening? I noticed this for several albums.
Regards,
Leo

Music + loockscreen Bug (no album cover when iPhone is lock and play music)

hello there.
I have just got a weird bug on my iPhone 4, while playing music and the iPhone is lock.
The issue is about what happens when I'm listening to music and my iPhone is lock-screen mode (simply say it is locked).
What is happening is that when I'm trying to check the song name and cover of the album (one click on home button) there is only the title of the song and instead of the album cover there is my lock-screen background picture.
I have tried to delete all the covers in iTunes and add them manualy (because when i click download the covers some of them are in wrong place) but it still apear the same problem.

Found another post with a similar issue after upgrading to ios 5 and this worked for him, I might try this tonight and will re-post if it worked for ios 5.1:
1)Connect phone
2)Hightlight your phone on the left side of the iTunes window
3)Click on the music tab towards the top middle of the iTunes window
4)Uncheck "sync music"
5) Click "Apply" down on the bottom right At either this step or the preceding step you might get a
pop up box that says "you have made changes" or something like that, click okay or apply.
6)After this is finished, check to make sure there is no music left on your iPhone by double clicking on your
iPhone in the left hand pane of iTunes and then click on "music" under your iPhone
7)If there is no music on your iPhone, then recheck the "sync music" and then click "apply" down in the
bottom righ.
8)If you have a lot of music it will take hours to sync, but when finished your Dock accesorries should work again.

I downloaded 9 songs and 2 of them are not complete when I play my IPOD they play 3/4's then end., I downloaded 9 songs and 2 of them are not complete when I play my IPOD they play 3/4's then end.

I dowloaded 9 songs and 2 of them are not not complete when I play them on my IPOD Classic the songs play then 3/4's of the way they end.

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Album Cover problem on 160 GB iPod Classic

Ever since I got this iPod I have had an issue with the album covers showing on the iPod. At first they would show fine everywhere, then they just started showing fine in the lists. Once I would click on a track the album cover would look similar to "snow" that is seen on TV when you are not getting a signal. Now, the only things that have covers on the iPod are songs I bought from iTunes, but any of my CD's I imported do not show up at all even though most of them do have covers when I look at the Cover Flow in the iTunes Library. What can be done to fix this issue?

when you turn down the volume on any apple product to "zero" with headphones plugged in, they assume it means you want the minimum audible volume. if you don't want to hear it, unplug your headphones or just don't push play. it's not a malfunction of equipment, it's operator idiocracy.

Iphone 5c wrong album cover for song

Ok so I have an iphone 5c and I have had it for about a year, all of the sudden I went on it to listen to music the other day and the album cover was different from the song. This happened to a around 48 of my 130 songs. I have all the songs and album covers, but they are switched around now. For example, say I want to listen to Summer by Calvin Harris, I clicked on the cover, and it plays Find You by Zedd instead of Summer which now has a Shakira cover. This is seriously starting to **** me off so can someone help me?

Hey there,
It sounds like you are tapping on a specific song to play, and rather than play it the device will play a totally different track. That's definately some unexpected behaviour, so lets see what we can do about that. Start by closing all the running apps on the phone first:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would recommend backing up your phone to iTunes on your computer directly with this:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
And restore it from your backup with this article to install a fresh copy of the iOS:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Why is iTunes play count not updating for SOME songs played on iPod Touch?

I have noticed that when I play some songs on my iPod the play count won't update. This only happens with some I bought recently. I was actually testing witha song I purchased 3 weeks ago and the play count will only update if I play it on the computer. However, when I played the song on my iPod Touch 4g running iOS 5, nothing happened. How can I fix this as I use the recently played playlist quite often. also, Im pretty sure most of the songs were downloaded from iTunes app in my iPod.

I've had this problem before with my 1G and still have it with my 2G. I can replicate it EVERY TIME.
If I listen to nothing but music on my iPod touch, and then go back home and sync, I have no problems with the playcount and smart playlists.
However, if I listen to a bunch of music, then play a few games, or browse Safari for a while, any record of my recently listened to music is wiped out. The Music application even loses my place in what song I was listening to and even which artist/album I was last listening to -- kicking me back to main music screen when I click the Music icon on the Home screen.
My hypothesis -- Apple is not using a dedicated/untouchable portion of memory to store playcounts. It is shared with all other memory access. So if an application or Safari uses a lot of memory during your session AFTER you've played your music, your playcounts gets wiped out in the process.
But that's just my take on the situation.

How do I stop iTunes from switching the display to the next song playing?

Using iTunes 10.5.0.142 and importing my music. When playing music iTunes constantly switches to view the next Album/Song when it starts playing the next one in the list. I am trying to get the library organized and edit song and album info when it keeps switching me to a view of what is playing instead of what I am working on. How to I get iTunes to just play music without moving the current location in the Music list?
Thanks.

"It's not a fault it's a feature!"
Put the music you want to listen to into iTunes DJ or, play it from another playlist, or use another playlist to find the stuff you want to edit. Basically as long as you are viewing the source that is playing music then the focus will snap to the current item each time the track changes.

Album cover wont appear on my iPod - why?

I can see all the album covers when I'm in iTunes, but they will not appear on my iPod :/ Can someone tell me why?
I have read two previous topics that has similiar problems to mine, but they didn't work out. I tried to remove all pictures I had on it to see whether that could help me get the album covers to appear, that didn't work. I tried to unmark all songs so that my iPod contained no songs and then marked all songs back, but that didn't work either.
I have plenty of songs where I have copied album covers in, but I also have quite the few where the album covers has arrived while I used a CD. They don't show either. I've never used iTunes shop as I don't want to pay for these things, so please don't ask me to make an account there even though I've seen that could work out.
But the thing is also, that I did have all album covers into my iPod for a very long time, before they suddenly dissapeared around two-three weeks ago. I've really tried everything I can so now I've come to you guys for some help and I do hope you can help me and that I have explained my problem with as much details as possible.
Hoping I'll get an answer from you soon,
-Carrie

Yes, a restore will erase the iPod. It is a bad idea to only have your stuff on the iPod (this issue you are having is a good example why) since if anything happens to the iPod, you lose everything.

Album Cover Finder programme murdered my iPod

So - I've got a 160GB iPod classic which has been working well and synching well. I then (in retrospect - foolishly) decide to download Album Cover Finder from Amphonic Designs. It pulls down album cover art perfectly well but as soon as I connect the iPod to synch, iPod and iTunes crashes.
As a result I uninstall Album Cover Finder; delete stored artwork; and delete all music for which I'd downloaded art. But to no avail - my iPod is now no longer recognised and whenever I plug it in it tells me that the iPod is corrupted and needs to be restored.
I've now restored it 3 times; I've tried to download new USB drivers; I've tried to give it a new drive letter; I've done the 5 R's - absolutely nothing works. Most of my music is still in iTunes, but my iPod now has NO music on it and isn't recognised by the system, except as being a corrupt iPod which needs to be restored (as mentioned above - to no effect).
So now I'm looking at my beautiful new iPod and it seems to be completely dead. And this makes me very sad indeed.
Any suggestions?

Song play on Ipod doesnt play on Ipad

Ipod and Itunes can play selected songs. The some of the same selected songs on the Ipad 3 will not play. Some songs that actually play skip around. Anyone else having this issue?

I have the same issue. The songs play on my iPod, but don't play on my iPhone. I've had a question posted about this for a few weeks now.
