Does album artwork increase the GB used?

I've got a 60GB i-pod and will pretty much fill it, so I'm tight on space.
I've only just discovered that to download album art I need to save the artwork and then paste it into i-tunes.
Before I now find and download artwork for hundreds of albums, can somebody tell me if this will impact the size of my library when it downloads to my i-pod?
Thanks.

One other question: any recommendations on the best
site to download artwork from?
Amazon.com has some great album artwork, and you can certainly drag and drop from Safari right into iTunes.

I can't manually add album artwork to the tracks.

Everytime I try to add an album cover to an album I go to "Get Info", then paste the album artwork in the album cover box. But when I paste the album cover the small box is still blank, and if I click on "Ok" button the album artwork of the entire album is now a black square. I tried unninstalling and reinstalling the itunes and I still have that problem. I have the last version of itunes the 10.4 update. Can somebody tell me what is going on?.

Do I paste it into any specific folder in iTunes or what?
No, iTunes will not be looking in that folder. The file simply has to be somewhere on your computer. However, if you place them in a folder that Syncs the pictures in it to your iPod, those pictures will take up additional space on your iPod.
I created a folder specifically for this problem and place the pictures in that. Then I simply copy them from there and into iTunes.

Hi TheGuru146,
It sounds like the iPod isn't restoring correctly. Try putting the it into Disk Mode manually and then restoring the iPod again as described in the article linked below.
Putting iPod into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
iPod nano (7th generation)
Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until the display shows the Apple logo. This should take about eight seconds.
When the Apple logo appears, press and hold the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk Mode.

Works fine here.

I just got my shipment and My Ipad mini is just shut down without reasons during upgrading. I'm doing restore it. Does it matter for the future use?

ACtually I really really don't want to use it anymore. I'm so disappointed.

If they are getting 2 days without charging, it's unlikely they use their device very much.
A full day is pretty good....and if I'm careful, I can easily get a full day of usage.
For me, normal is charging the iPhone mid afternoon at work, but I use it a lot.
My typical usage is 35 mins of listening to podcasts, checking email, checking my RSS feed, and checking a few apps while I ride my bike when I first get up. Then listening to several podcasts at work.
I typically stream music while working out during my lunch hour and use the Men's Health Fitness app to track my progress.
By about 2pm I'm ready to charge the device as it's getting low (somewhere between 20% and 50%).
I leave bluetooth, Wi-FI, and location services turned on all the time.
Personally, I just do not see the point in going into settings to turn on the feature when I need it... just too much hassle. All of my listening to podcasts and music is via Bluetooth.
I know I'm not the heaviest user, but I just do not see how anyone can realistically make it two days on a single charge, it makes me think they simply do not use the features of the device and would be just as well served with a basic or feature phone.

HT4914 Does ITunes Match effect the space used on your ICloud?

Does ITunes Match effect the space used on your ICloud? Being as though your songs are not actually being uploaded and your just pulling content off of I tunes .

Hello Karen,
Yes, enabling iTunes Match the current music library on the phone will be deleted.

When enabling iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and then replaced with your music in iCloud.
The music is stored on the cloud and streamed to your device unless you choose to download it on the phone.

How Long Does it Normally Take to Update Album Artwork in the iTunes Store?

My apologies in advance, I know this has probably been asked before, but I'm having trouble finding it.
This is my first attempt at setting up a podcast in the iTunes Store. I think I have everything set up correctly, but I made a mistake on the album artwork - I created a PNG file with transparency, which appears as black. I have replaced the PNG file with a JPEG file with a different name (as suggested by the Apple instructions), and updated the RSS XML file to reflect that new file name. I also had a typo in the description, which I was using the <description> tag for. I corrected the typo in the <description> tag, and also added an <itunes:summary> tag with the same info.
I've waited for a few hours with no updates appearing. Is there a way to force the update, or do I just need to wait? I've verified that the raw RSS feed is updated correctly from the site.

Thanks for the quick reply, Roger!
I can wait. Managing expectations is the main thing. And learning not to make the same mistake again!
Hope you have a happy holiday season.

Can I use itunes to put album artwork on the Zen

I use itunes to play music on my comp and I was wondering if the artwork I have saved in itunes will work on the Zen M.

I know I can't use itunes as a transfer program. Ok let me reword it. I have been using itunes for like 3 years now, and I just get all of my album artwork from that. Will the artwork be on the Zen after I put the music on it using their software?

FYI: How much room does album artwork take up on the iPod?

I was wondering the answer to this question before I tried it, so I thought I'd let other people know what I found out:
With the new 'get album artwork' feature in iTunes 7, I've added a bunch of artwork to my library, but was worried it would take up too much space if I loaded the art onto my 4GB iPod nano as well (through a checkbox in the 'music' section of the ipod overview screen). It turns out the size required is pretty modest, and for me worth it.
I had 735 songs taking up 3.64 GB, with 80mb free. Adding the artwork only took up about 17mb, leaving me with about 63mb free. Not bad.
iBook G4 800Mhz 12", iPod nano (1st gen) Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I did a test on this several months ago, by attaching the same artwork at different resolutions. The result is that the .jpg file is added into the the .mp4 file as is - no compression on the data seems to be going on, judging from the differences in file sizes. There is definitely good reason to keep your artwork small, but not so small that the iPod has to upsample it to display (you'll get a blurry/pixellated image in that case). I keep mine all at 180x180. Since the new video iPod has 240 lines, it may be good to go a little higher. But some images you get off the web are big (and have other problems as well), so using automatic artwork loaders will work against you in this case. Personally, I don't mind spending a minute or so (while the CD imports) to clean up the image before I add it to the songs.

How much space does album artwork need?

I have about 15,000 songs in my iTunes library, of which only a small percentage (maybe 5-10%) have album artwork.
If I get artwork for all(or most) of the rest of the library, how much ipod space will that use?
I have 4 ipods, only one of which can display artwork. Roughly, how would all the artwork impact what I can store on the displaying ipod?
Does artwork have any impact on storage capacity for non-displaying ipods?
Thanks !
Carl

If iTunes gets the artwork, it will not affect the amount of songs on the iPod.
If you add the artwork yourself to songs, it will affect the amount you can put on the iPod as artwork you get yourself is stored as part of the song file and transferred to the iPod, even if the iPod cannot display artwork.
If the artwork is 200kB & you add that to all songs, it will be ~2.8GB just for artwork.

There is no album artwork in the Multiple items information box for all albums

I have iTunes 10.0.5 and all my album artwork is present but when i bring up the Multiple item information box by clicking on an album there is no artwork there?
but there is artwork on the actual album. im wondering if this is why when im uploading music to the internet using FTP transfer the artwork doesnt come up next to the song name. It does with some and with others there is no art.
All the songs have ID3tags versoin 2.4 and have been converted to a MP3 file but still doesnt work.
Check this image to understand what i mean more.
So from the right itunes is showing an album with the album art, in the middle is showing the Multiple items information boc and on the left its showing my FTP with albumart work showing and some not showing?
PLease can someone help

*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 artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one 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 exisits in 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/scripts13.php for Macs. If you're using Google or other FWSE to locate suitable images they should be jpg's and ideally square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the abum, use CTRL-I or Option-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, 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.

Why wont my iTunes download the album artwork for the cd's that I import?

I'm a new Mac owner so I may be overlooking something simple. I have imported a few CD's succesfully but when i select "Preferences" and "Get Album Artwork" a message comes up that says "Could not get album artwork". I have looked in the itunes store to see if they have the album and its there... so why wont iTunes import the artwork to the albums i have imported? Thanks!

Where else can I get this?
On the World Wide Web!
iTunes will find the artwork if the album is available in the iTunes Store and your metadata precisely matches the Store data, in every respect (spaces, punctuation, spelling).
If iTunes does not get the art, simply use a web search to find the correct image.
To paste an image into a song file, highlight the file, use the command File > Get Info, open the Artwork tab, and drag the image into the space for art (or use Copy/Paste).

Why all of the sudden cant i print the album artwork of the cd i just bought...the playlist comes up but no matter what i do none of my album artwork shows up on the printed playlist?

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 can I import into iPhoto, from my iPad, albums created on the iPad using Photos App ?

I take about 300 photos a day using my iPad, as i'm filming to help keep continuity.
I then create albums under the scene number from some of the photos taken. Eventually i will build up all of the scene numbers in the script.
I want to import into iPhoto all of these albums.
How can this be done?
For some reason, when i plug my iPad into the laptop, it won't import screen grabs or all of the photos.
So the fact i have tried to be super organised, the apple software is now letting me down !
Can albums created in the iPad now be imported into iPhoto as albums to keep my organisation ?
Thanks.

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
With the new Photo app later this year the integration between IOS and the Mac will be much greater
