Get Album Art doesn't work

I've been confused by this since v.7 came out but it hasn't really bugged me till now.. but the Get Album Artwork function simply doesn't work for me. It doesn't do a **** thing. I click it and it seems like iTunes doesn't even do anything, and album artwork certainly does not appear in my library. Yes, I'm logged in to my iTS account.
Am I doing something wrong here? I haven't really been able to find someone else who has this problem.

GM Axis,
I can understand your frustration, and since most of my music was purchased from the iTunes Store, and tend to be only 1 genre, I sat down with my wife's computer and her iTunes Library.
Once I got the tags for album and artist straightened out, we were able to find 100 out of 104 albums via the iTunes Store. However, the key was correcting spelling, and album names. For example: My son imported a bunch of Elvis CDs after hearing him in Lilo and Stitch. He spelled Presley as Prezley. Correcting the tags with Get Info takes a while. You can select all the songs from a specific album and Get info on that all at once, and change multiple items at once.
The others include B-side singles never released in the US we imported from tape, and an album by a group that was never on CD, and the regional label is out of business.

Album Art doesn't work

Recently, when I put album art on the iPod, it won't recognize it. Roughly about 2/3 of the songs on the iPod will display the art but the other fraction doesn't even recognize it. It shows up fine in iTunes, both on the hard drive and the iPod and I've already tried unchecking and rechecking the "Display Album Artwork..." box and nothing works. This problem only occurs to newer additions, but not to all of them. If it's any help, I get all my artwork from Amazon. Thanks

Are the songs on your computer?
You could use one of these options to move the music back onto your computer before you restore...

You also can search the Discussions and the Internet (via Google) for more options.
Also, there are a few other options in that user tip (other than restoring or unchecking and rechecking the display artwork option).

If you select multiple songs and choose Get Info, the Album Art box will always be blank, even if the individual songs each have the same common Art. This is expected behavior.
Copying the Art directly to the iPod will never work. If your iTunes displays the Art fine, and the nano doesn't, your problem is likely to be a firmware issue with the iPod. I would suggest performing a "restore" and then try again. Otherwise, if issues remain, reinstall iTunes if more than one XP user is affected.

Can't get album art from iTunes.

Ok, so we have the ability to get album artwork. I presume that iTunes contacts iTMS and searches for artwork. I have an album that is also on iTMS and I want to get the artwork. I click on get album artwork and then nothing. It is a soundtrack, so I am typing exactly what it says on iTMS and zippo, nada. Fetch art doesn't work for poop and synergy can't find the artwork either. Is there some way to directly get the artwork from iTMS, save it either to desktop or to iTunes?

Do you have an account with the iTunes store? If you do, are you signed in to your account? Those might be the reasons why you can't download artworks.

Cant get album art after converting from wma

After convertong old wma files into itunes format, clicking on get album art initiates the process and it seems to go through each album retrieving art, yet picture never appears. Any ideas?

OK in windows media player, it will pull the album art up, but it doesn't attach the art to the song, instead it hides the art in the system and attaches a series of numbers to be ID. In iTUnes tho the art is attached to the songs tags.
Now there may be some program you can find on the net that will automaticly do this for you, I have no idea but heres how to do it manually.
Now the art work will reside where the song is. Since most music is put in the "My MUsic" folder i'll focus there, but if you have songs in another folder there artwork will be in that folder with them. Open My Music folder and goto tools>folder options>view tab Now check "Show Hidden Files and Folder" then UNCHECK "Hide Protected Operating System Files" You should now see all the album art listed.

ITunes 10.0.7.21 shows a white box instead of artwork for most of my albums. Many of these are albums I purchased on itunes. Also when I hit get album art it deleted the artwork it already had form many albums and says it cant find it.

OS is Windows 7
I updated iTunes the other day and I decided to run "get album art" and instead of finding artwork, it made some of the artwork I already had show up as white squares, or disapear entirely. The ones that are white squares show up under the get info, but not in itunes. I did click in view for show al artwork, no luck. Many of these albums I bought from iTunes. The ones that the artwork was deleted some albums I can buy on iTunes, but already owned, and iTunes found the artwork before, but now cannot. Some are albums that I spent many hours finding and adding the artwork myself. I am very frustrated. I cannot find the time to manually install artwork for thousands of songs.
My work computer is Windows 8, so I really don't want to hear windows vs OSX argument. My company won't switch to mac because you like it better, so I just need a solution to my issue. iTunes it has always worked better for me on my work PC than my macBook, I dont know why, but I don't take two laptops with me when I travel so I have my iTunes library on the PC that has to come with me. This is the first time an update has screwed things up for me.

Well my first guess was wrong. The line that failed is the one that writes out the image to disk. I've not revisited the code for that script for ages, but it seems I did add in an extra test for missing files a little while later, then forgot to upload the change. I can reproduce the error message if I deliberately rename a file to confuse iTunes so that seems the most likely reason for your problem with the script. I've uploaded a new build of CreateFolderArt which should work better.
See FindTracks for a tool to repair broken links. You should probably get that issue fixed first.

Get album art criteria for download

Hi,
When I say "Get Album Art" in iTunes, for some albums it doesn't do anything. I check the iTunes store and they have the album but it won't download the artwork. I tried matching the album name to the exact same name but that doesn't solve the problem. I can't see anything else that is listed differently in my details from the iTunes version...
I really want that high quality art from iTunes.
Anyone know what iTunes searches for to get the artwork?
Thanks in advance.
Pete

In my experience, the album, artist and song names must exactly match the ones of the iTunes Store.
The song names are less important when you're trying to get artwork for an entire album.
Sometimes I notice some songs in my library that don't have the exact name of the one in the Store, but the artwork does show up in iTunes.
Hope this helps.

When I try to "Get Track Names" or "Get Album Art," the wrong info or no info is retrieved

I'm using the latest iTunes and Lion OS.
I have many songs from long ago (not downloaded from iTunes) which have incorrect album names, etc., and I want to clean them up, but when I enter the correct info and select "Get Album Art" or "Get Track Names," either nothing is found or the incorrect information is returned, respectively.
For example, I have a song:
Artist: James Taylor
Album: Greatest Hits
Name: Mexico
It does not have the associated Album Art, nor does it have the rest of the information like Track, Year, etc. It just has the Track Name, Album Name and Artist Name. I want to update this to show that it is from the original Album, "Gorilla," so I right-click and select Info, and I fill in the Album Name as "Gorilla." When I right-click and select "Get Album Art," it tells me: "Artwork for "James Taylor - Gorilla" could not be found - though it exists in iTunes. When I right-click and select "Get Track Names," the item is updatd, and now it reads:
Artist: America
Album: Mellow Rock Hits Of The 70s: Summer Breeze
Name: A Horse With No Name
When I rename everything to "James Taylor," "Mexico," and "Gorilla," and select either "Get Album Art" or "Get Track Names," I get the exact same thing: no album artwork found, and it renames it to America.
What is happening? What am I doing wrong? Do I have the wrong expectations of the two right-click options?

I don't think CDDB and iTunes Store is the same. The CDDB gets information for CDs only (not collections of tracks made from a CD) and uses CD features such as track lengths (exact, which could be modified by a fraction of a second when you make a MP3) track count, etc. It doesn't use any information such as artist, track name. From what Mike Johnson12 was saying it seems that ITMS uses the base tag information to identify the track fully.
I have never used iTunes Store to label a track so I can't provide information there. I have no idea what criteria it uses, but for other id3 tag application and iTunes, by "exact" we mean exact. Letter case is important, and I have even found that sometimes font can make a difference.
For album artwork I do a Google search, then restrict the finds to images and select the best quality I can find. This is also the biggest in terms of file size so I only attach the image to one file in a track. When playing iTunes on the computer it displays that image for all tracks in that album.

Fix/revert the way it gets album art?

I tag all my albums "(01) Debut", "(02) Second Album", etc.. so they're in chronological order.
Anyway, after upgrading to the latest iTunes (I think I had 8.0.1 or something), it no longer gets album art for them, unless I change the album title to "Debut" and "Second Album"
It worked in the last version I had, why did you change it when it worked fine? This always happens with iTunes, each version gets more and more bloated...
Another thing, why does it go A-Z and then 0-9? What on Earth is up with that?
Can you fix it plz? Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply Chris.
If I did sort album by year, it wouldn't work on my iPod. As for previously getting artwork with the correct title and then changing it. When adding music to my library, I tag it all first, and then click get album artwork, which always worked fine before. Also, I've done a fresh install of Windows before, reinstalled iTunes and added all my music (tagged with (XX) at the beginning) iTunes would automatically get the artwork. Now it's missing the artwork for 197 albums, so I don't really feel like changing them all manually...I guess I could use an older version of iTunes, but is this likely to be fixed in the future, as I'd rather have an up-to-date version of the programs on my computer.
And I know it's done A-Z, 0-9 for a while now, but I thought while I was posting about this I might aswell ask.
Thanks again.
