Getting album art for imported music

I imported my wma music when I switched to iTunes. However, only one or two of the imported albums have album art. I enable the automatic album art retrieval tool in store/preferences, but I am still not getting album art on the imported music. I also imported some cd's, which, as I understand it, should get album art automatically; it hasn't happened. It it me? Hope someone can help. Thanks.

Are these items sold in the itunes store? It only fetches artwork on things it sells, so no AC/DC or Beatles artwork will be fetched.
Second, your tags have to exactly match whatever is in the iTS database. For example - a while back iTS had Led Zeppelin's Mothership listed under "Lead Zeppelin", so nobody was getting any artwork for it. They have fixed that one....

  • Can't get Album Art for CDs

    I ripped a bunch of CDs to Windows Media Player and it got the album art for all of them. Then later I installed iTunes and it automatically converted the songs over to it from WMP, but iTunes did not get the album art and it says that it is not available when I click on "Get Album Art." What do I do?

    Not a complete answer, but will get you most of the art work you need.
    Find the album on the Internet. I usually try Amazon.com, puretracks.com, or any site that will let you right click and save the art work shown. Use the "Save As" and save it as a "jpg" file. Make sure you put it in a location, and give it a name you can find.
    Open iTunes, find the album and right click on it. Click on "Get Info", go to the "Artwork" tab, and click on "Add". Brows to the location where you saved the artwork and add it.
    If you have more that one song in the same album you can add the same artwork to each song by right clicking on the artwork just imported and selecting copy. Go to the next song's artwork and right click and select past.
    Not the best, but after I find the album I can add the artwork to all the songs in an album in less that two minutes.
    It is taking a little work, but I am slowly overcoming the stupidity of the Apple programmers who wrote iTunes. It is a fairly good program, but it could be much better if Apple would make it easier for users to submit suggestions, and if they incorporated the popular suggestions. Unfortunately Apple has always had an arrogant attitude and they are not likely to change any time soon.

  • How do I Get Album Art for Some Tracks Only?

    I feel really stupid for asking this but I have tried to find out how to do it to no avail!
    I only want to get the album art for actual albums but whenever I click on "Get Album Artwork" it goes through my whole library!
    I have tried by highlighting the songs and then clicking get album artwork... did not work.
    I have tried only selecting the songs I wanted [using checkbox thingy] and then clicking get album artwork... did not work.
    I feel there is a really simple and obvious way to do this but cannot for the life of me figure out how.
    Regards,
    Michael

    HAHAHAHAHA!
    Thank you! I tried that and did not see it at all!

    Hello mramirez500,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    How are you trying to manually add the artwork? Perhaps this article can be of more help.

  • Get Album Art: What Will Happen?

    I have a very large iTunes music collection almost all of which album art.
    I've always been afraid to use the "Get Album Art" function of iTunes because I assumed it would replace all my existing album art. Two questions:
    1) Is this true?
    2) Is there a way to make it get album art for only a single album rather than for the whole library?

    It won't replace the artwork if you already have something there. If you ctrl-click on a song you have an option to get album artwork for that one song. or from the same menu you can go to 'Get Info' and there is an artwork that you can manually place the images into. hope that helps

  • 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.

  • No album art for uploaded cds

    I uploaded a couple of cds i bought, and i cant figure out how to get album art for those cds. Any one know how to fix this?

    Yeah, people from iTunes supported countries can easily download artwork, but if you are from a not supported country then get iTunes Art Importer, much easier then dragging covers into every song.

    No, you don't need a credit card to start an account. Go get or have someone get you an iTunes giftcard, redeem the card to open your account.

  • I updated my iPad 2 iOS to 6.1.2 and lost my album art for all my music, how can I get them back

    I updated my iPad 2 iOS to 6.1.2 and lost my album art for all my music , how can I get them back?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • 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.

  • 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.
    I know what SPSS stands for but that is all I know about it.

  • Automatic album art for music I already own? not happening

    The iTunes 7 description claims that it will automatically add album art for albums I've downloaded from my own CD collection, as long as the album exists on the iTunes music store. This is definitely NOT happening, which means a lot of albums display as blank. Has anyone successfully had album art added for music they didn't download from the music store? Any hints on making this happen? Thanks!

    Has anyone successfully had album art added for music they didn't download from the music store?
    Yes. I downloaded artwork for several ripped CDs.
    Any hints on making this happen?
    The Name, Artist and Album have to be spelled exactly as in the iTunes Store.
    It also seems to be case sensitive.
    Hope this helps.
