Get Album Artwork doesn't load- the bar stays at zero.

When I secondary click, and select 'get album artwork', the bar at the top says 'proccessing album artwork' but the progress bar stays at zero. I've left it for almost ten minutes and it doesn't move at all. I restarted my computer and it doesn't help. I am connected to the internet, and the album exists in iTunes. Also, to be clear, I know that I can copy and paste or drag from the internet, but its much easier to just use the 'get album artwork' function. Help, please?

So if the album isn't available in the iTunes store, it's not recognized? That's ridiculous. That's like saying if I don't buy through iTunes, I shouldn't use iTunes to sync my music to my iPod. That sounds like Apple again following only wherever the dollar goes.
Windows Media Player uses All Music Guide, which stores everything whether you can buy it through anybody or not. Apple makes great devices, but they're continually pushing me away from them because they put the almighty dollar first and me second. Hopefully Google will integrate their online music service and I won't have to worry about whether an album I can buy just about anywhere won't be recognized by Apple's proprietary dollar-munching service.

  • Error 609, "Get Album artwork" - doesn't happen

    I haven't had problems with getting album artwork until now. I always make sure the artist and album are properly labeled and nothing else in iTunes is running. I now get error 609, where artwork won't download.

    This solved itself when I upgraded to 10.5.8 and iTunes 9.0.2

  • Get Album Artwork doesn't recognize mainstream artists

    I ripped my mp3 collection from Audiograbber using Freedb (a free database for album info) and put them onto an external hard drive. I've added the folder to my iTunes music library, but when I try to get album artwork, it says "Could not get artwork for some albums." and lists albums from artists like Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin (48 in total). When I actually go look at each file, it has enough tag information to find the album (title - "Back in the Saddle", artist - "Aerosmith", album - "Rocks", genre - "Hard Rock"... everything it needs).
    What about the file is iTunes not recognizing? Audiograbber uses ID3 tags.

  • Getting album artwork

    I've been experiencing a relatively recent problem with getting artwork for CDs that I have imported into iTunes.
    Previously I have just used the "Get Album Artwork" function and providing the album was listed on the iTunes store, the artwork has downloaded to my iTune library. Recently this has stopped working, even for albums that I know are on iTunes.
    Has anyone else experienced the same? I thought it might be something to do with a recent software upgrade or maybe I have just not got my settings right.
    Any insight would be gratefully received.

    Hi. I'm new to mac. I've been getting the same problems too. FYI, I own a Intel MBP. I have a huge collections from my previous Windows Media Player. All albums ripped got their album art. But when I tranfered it to iTunes, the album arts did not showed up. I've tried ripping the cd back & try to get album art from iTunes, it failed. It was able to rip the songs but no album art. What is actually happening?

  • Benefits of embeded artwork over 'Get Album Artwork'?

    I have a large collection of music in iTunes, much of it with embeded artwork. I've yet to upgrade to iTunes 7, and i was wondering are there any advantages with embeded artwork over 'Get Album Artwork'?
    More to the point, other than disk space, does having artwork embeded have any disadvantages? Does it slow iTunes (and in particular Cover Flow) down?
    Thanks

    David,
    There's an article over at iLounge that may shed some light on your question.

  • ITunes can't get album artwork for songs iTunes has in the store... how do i fix this?

    i have a bunch of songs that either have the wrong album artwork or none at all.  the weirdest thing is that some of the albums are SOLD on iTunes. in fact, if i highlight one of my songs in iTunes, Ping sees it and shows me the correct cover art. BUT when i click "get album artwork", it tells me it cannot find the artwork. i've tried matching the text (song title, album title, artist, genre) exactly as it is in iTunes, but that doesn't help. it is doing this for about 60 of my albums and i don't know how to fix it. how can i get it to find the artwork?
    also... when iTunes finds the WRONG artwork, how can i direct it to the correct one?

    Albums, artists and complications must match precisely for iTunes to get a hit.  If you have a compilation, chances are you have a 'various artists' for an album artists ... there is a bit of a science to it.  I've managed to get most of my 'picky ones' to match.  But I have some that just won't - for whatever reason.

  • How can I get album artwork without using iTunes on the computer?

    I used touchcopy to copy the songs off my ipod touch onto my new computer, so i could then load them onto my ipod nano. I have got the songs on the nano, and theyre still on my touch, but there is no album artwork on either. For my nano, i can use iTunes, but the computer my touch is synced to is, well, dead. So, is there a way to get the album artwork back on my touch?
    Also, on my nano, it doesnt have any of the artists or album (name) for the songs
    Thanks

    Hi Wickster,
    I have found the following resource that may provide more help:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Add artwork to songs and other items
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12361
    Additionally, you can instruct iTunes to search and download artwork from the iTunes Store. To do so, click File > Library > Get Album Artwork
    Thanks,

  • Why, when on the store I can see album artwork (for an album offered) I cannot get that album artwork when I have the same CD in my collection?

    I have several albums that I own the actual CD, some of those CD's are offered on the store (example: America's Greatest Hits) After downloading those CD and asking to get album artwork even though the artwork is available online the store says that artwork is unavailable. Also it would be more than helpful to allow artwork from some online sites to be downloaded like it was about 2 years ago. Since then it is very difficult to drag and pop in missing artwork.

  • When I "Get Album Artwork", iTunes always returns a result that artwork for one song could not be found; but the song is not in my library.

    When I "Get Album Artwork" in  iTunes 10.4.0.80 running under Windows 7, iTunes can find the missing artwork requested.  But it also returns the same result, "Artwork for "Aught 7 - Mother Chorizo" could not be found.  The problem is I do not have the song or any song from Aught 7 in my music library.  I'm guessing this is an issue with a corrupted iTunes database.  Can someone tell me how to correct this issue?
    Thanks in advance.

    1. delete this songs from your liblary
    2. go File -> Add File to Liblary... (Ctrl+O) or File -> Add Folder to Liblary

  • HT1539 How do I get my Avengers music album after I down load the movie?

    How do I get my Avengers music album after I down load the movie? It looks like it is included with the disk set I purchased.

    If iTunes Match is turned off, go to preferences > store>Tick box show iCloud purchases. Once done all purchased music will appear. Go to song list view, select all tracks, ctrl+click and select download from pop up.
    Alternatively, go into iTunes Store > Quicklinks purchased and select not on this computer. Select download all.
