Do we have to find Album art on our own.

When using Windows Media player I put a CD in It checks the ID3 Tags gets all the Songs names and the Album Art and puts it in the corner.
Why doesn't iTunes do this, it gets the names automatically But not the Album Art ***?
So far I've been adding album art per album
And I still Haven't seen a Simple Tutorial Online on How to Drag an Drop 1 Album Cover PIc and have iTunes see it for every Song of that Album, I've had to do this one song at a time.

Apple will only provide artwork for music you actually buy from them - otherwise they are opening a huge can of worms providing you artwork for a CD of your own.
I use Amazon.com, and drag and drop the album artwork from there to provide the artwork for my iTunes.
To update a whole album at a time, simply shift click all tracks of that album, then drag the artwork into iTunes - it updates all tracks with the album artwork.

I transfered videos from iPod to iTunes on Windows 7 PC but album art won't show up, even when I choose to find album art

I just installed iTunes 64 bit on my PC with Windows 7. I transfered my movies from my iPod Classic but no album art on any of them. I even try to find album art but nothing. I've downlaoded a couple of music albums onto same PC that I downloaded previously on iPad and they have art but not the videos I just transferred from iPod. I also can't play any of them on PC. I keep getting the no Quicktime message even though I downloaded QT. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem, except I dont have itunes match enabled.
I synced my ipad and unchecked all my albums to remove them. Then I re-synced with the albums selected. They went back on WITH the artwork under 'artists' but then for some reason the next time I sync, some of the artwork under 'artists' is gone leaving only a music note for the cover.
It also has nothing to do with the cloud backup as I have experienced this with both backing up to the cloud and to my mac.
strange.......

ITunes not Finding Album Art (Which Does Exist)

For reasons that I have been unable to ascertain, iTunes cannot find album art for some albums that I have ripped. The art does exist on iTunes--I've done a search and checked. The song text matches; the album title appears to match; but iTunes politely informs me "Artwork could not be found."
This is not due to the fact that these are songs I have ripped myself; iTunes has found plenty of other album art for tunes I've ripped myself. Something else is going on. A couple of examples for folks to chew on:
Godzilla - Blue Öyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper: The Best Of Blue Öyster Cult
Mirror In The Bathroom - The English Beat - Beat This! The Best of the English Beat
Freeze-Frame - J. Geils Band - Freeze Frame
The Healer - John Lee Hooker - The Healer
There are plenty of others; that's just a sample. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello,
so there's no way of adding new covers to iTunes by drag and drop to the left bottom box??? I have to add the cover with +I only?
I've tried yesterday to add the covers with a simlpe drag and drop into the useful bottom-left box.... It didn't work... C'mon Apple!
It kinda *****...
PS: Adding covers via the new "import cover from apple store" fonction doesn't work as well. Youth bugs I presume

What is the absolute best program for finding album art? [free]

I would love to have one of those free programs that automatically finds album art and lyrics, for mac or PC, but what is the best one?

This is for Windows, it's free, and pretty simple to use.

Why is it that Itunes can't find album art for "North" by Elvis Costello and others

Why is it that from all the albums in my Library itunes can not find album art for:
"North" by Elvis Costello
"Viva la Vida" by Coldplay
and "Old Yellow Moon" by Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowel?

Earl,
For iTunes to find the art, it needs to match exactly on the Artist and Album Text. Minor issues like spacing or punctuation can prevent the match, as can a misspelling like "Crowel" for Crowell."
Look in the iTunes Store to get the exact text, fix the tags in the corresponding tracks, and then try again to "Get Album Artwork."
If that still fails, just grab the correct art off the web, and paste it into the Artwork tab.

Why is the album art from our iTunesU site not downloading with the content?

Recently, the album art from our iTunes U site has not been downloading with the content. We have tried downloading content from other pages and we get the album art, but when we download out own content the album art does not download with the files. The art appears in the iTunes store so there should not be a problem with the files. Any idea why this is happening? Here is the link to the iTunes U page for your information.http://itunes.apple.com/gb/institution/university-of-london/id422825754

Can't Find Album Art (Music)

Last month, My Itunes can get album art from the itunes automatically when i click "Get Album art" or something like that.
But last week, I change the my music directory on windows(i really dont know if this is the cause of the problem) and now i cant get any album art. I tried searching but i cant seem to find the answer so i post my problem here.
I dont want to manually find an album art in Amazon or in any music store and put it there.
Cant anyone help me? by the way, im usign the latest version of itunes.
Thanks

When you changed the directory, did you (or iTunes) move the actually music files? If you see little exclamation points and fail to be able to play the music in iTunes, this is probably your problem. You cannot update disconnected files.
You may also want to assure you are logged in to the iTunes store and that you can view the store? Maybe you have a firewall program like Zone Alarm blocking access?
Did you change anything else on your machine or install other software since the last time you were able to get album art that might be causing the problem?

Cant Find Album Art?!!

I reformatted my computer and put all my songs back in itunes and did the get album art function and it found most of them but it says it cant find a few and they are some of the ones that it had before i reformatted. I have checked the info and its all the same as how it is listed in the itunes store and i have the latest version. Anyone know how to fix that? Thanks

sorry i kind of solved this myself after a bit of exploration in preview (i dont remember there being a crop option in preview for leopard)

ITunes (iMac) can't find album art

So about a month ago I finally took the plunge and switched from PC to Mac. I have an iMac, running Mavericks, and itunes 11.
I also have a Time Capsule, and when I moved my itunes library from the PC I put it there, both so I wouldn't clutter up my new hard drive and also to allow it to be accessed by other devices. I've had some trouble getting itunes to use that location as its default, especially after a reboot.
Itunes has lost a lot of the album art that the PC had. I moved everything from my PC, including the album art, which was in its own folder in the itunes library. And anyway, this is all stuff that should be accessible on the online database, since that's where it came from originally. I didn't scan in any jpgs or anything. When I go and look in the album art file folder it's all just folders inside folders, and I don't actually see any files.
So, what's the deal? Is it confused because these cds were inported by a PC? The songs play fine. If I put in a cd will it grab the metadata without my having to re-import the whole thing? Not keen on doing that.
This isn't a disaster or anything, it's just annoying. It's easier to scan my album list when the cover art shows than when half the albums show a gray box.

Trouble finding album art

find it strange that itunes can't find quite a bit of album art.

I find it particularly weird when you're staring at the album in the Store and you wonder what you're doing wrong that it can't find the album to give you its cover art. I'm having that problem right now with Madge's "Ray of Light". She's staring right at me in the Store but the art just won't download. I've tried retyping every field. Couple of other albums giving me fits too, but this one is particularly galling.

How do I add album art to my own cd

I need to add album art to my band's new demo. How would I go about doing so?

Right click on the song in your iTunes library and select Get Info. The go to the Artwork tab. There is an Add button.
Also you can go to iTunes>Advanced and lick on Get Artwork.It goes to Apple to try to get the artwork automatically.

Why can't iTunes find album art when it is showing in Media Player?

I am new to iTunes, having previously used windows media player. What a disappointment. The sooner Apple get back to being a niche plyer the better. In Windows media player, every one of my albums has the artwork on it. Import to iTunes the crock of **** can't find the artwork for 71 albums. Not just a handful, 71!!!
I had heard that iTunes doesn't like compilation albums from a friend, several years ago. No problem in media payer - but in the bag of **** that is iTunes, my compilation albums (shop bought CDs) are listed as separate albums i.e I have 20 albums all called "the best of New Wave"!!!
Finally before I sell my iPod back on to Ebay, I tried to import my MP3s to the Touch. Not enough room (I knew that) so opted to select which Albums I wanted. Now I have 250 albums, so do you think some overpaid ******* in Apple might have thought that folk would like to "select all" and then de-select the albums they didn't want? No...let's make it really irritating and get people to MANUALLY select each album, one by Fxxxing one. This really is the dark ages.
Finally, for some reason, some of my albums (again perfectly intact in Media Player) have been split into two. In Media Player you can drag tracks from one album onto another to create the whole album. Is this possible in iTunes? You know what, don't even bother answering, because I'm done with iTunes.

Can I import my own custom album art for my own music in iTunes?

Is the album artwork feature just for downloads from the iTunes store? Or can I import my own cover art as a JPEG, say, for music that I have created? Thanks, Scott

Thanks, Chris. Good suggestion. But the problem hasn't gone away. Here's what I did:
I ran Repair Permissions but it did not solve the problem. Then I ran verify disk and it checked out OK. Then I ran verify disk permissions and got these 3 i-Tunes related items in the results:
Permissions differ on "Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/CodeResources", should be -rw-rw-r-- , they are lrw-rw-r-- .
Permissions differ on "Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Frameworks/iPodUpdater.framework/Versions/A/C odeResources", should be -rw-rw-r-- , they are lrw-rw-r-- .
Permissions differ on "Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Resources/iTunesHelper.app/Contents/CodeResou rces", should be -rw-rw-r-- , they are lrw-rw-r-- .
Then I ran repair disk permissions a second time, and the same 3 i-Tunes-related "permissions differ" items showed up in the results. Problem still not solved.
I dug down to these 3 files. Only the iTunesHelper/Contents/CodeResources had a permissions setting available. It was set to rw-rw-r. I don't know what lwr might be or what to do about it if anything.
Bottom line, I still can't drag my JPEG into the iTunes artwork box. Now it doesn't even flash.
Thanks,
Scott

Album art on iPod Touch

Help! I've downloaded Album art for every song on my iPod Touch - although the album art matches each song correctly in my iTunes library on my desktop, about 1/3 of the songs have the incorrect album art on my iPod. For example, a song by Chicago that has Chicago album art on my iTunes library, displays album art for Flo Rida when that Chicago song is playing on my iPod. Some songs have the correct album art, but others do not. I've tried to delete the album art, re-download it and then reload the song to my iPod, but it doesn't always work. Any suggestions?

Fixed my problem with the artwork. I just went to amazon.com and searched for the albums where the artwork was getting mixed up on my iPod Touch. I would right click on the album artwork on amazon.com and select copy. Then I would select all the songs from that album in my iTunes and right click to get info for all the album tracks. Then just paste the album artwork. It took two syncs (for some reason), but at least now all my album artwork is right in both my iTunes library and iPod Touch. Easy to do, but time consuming. One downside, some images on amazon.com aren't the highest quality. In those cases I would do a google search of the album name and click the images tab to find the best quality images. Then use the same copy and paste technique.
