How do i copy album artwork to all the songs in an album

How do i copy album artwork to all the songs in an album as some of the songs do not have the artwork, as with the previous version of itunes you had to load artwork individually.
I have tried the copy and paste option and that does not work
Look forward to hearing from you

"How do i copy album artwork to all the songs in an album as some of the songs do not have the artwork, as with the previous version of itunes you had to load artwork individually."
That suggests some underlying issue, as iTunes has always (AFAIR) allowed artwork to be assigned with multiple tracks in a single action.  For an album, right-click on the album, select Get Info, select the Artwork tab.  You then have three options:
If the artwork image exists as a file, click the Get Artwork button, browse to and select the file, then click Open.
Drag and drop the image file from Windows Explorer to the Artwork tab (previous releases also allowed drag and drop from a web browser, this functionality is missing - either by design or as the result of a bug - in iTunes 12).
If you've copied the artwork image to the clipboard, press Ctrl-V on the keyboard to paste in the image (prior to the 1st release of iTunes 12 this could also be done using right-click > Paste - hopefully this will be restored as a bug-fix in the next update)
"I have tried the copy and paste option and that does not work."
There are three possible causes for this:
The format of your media files doesn't support embedded artwork - specifically, uncompressed audio in WAV format.  You'll need to convert to Apple Lossless (without loss of quality) or either MP3 or AAC (if you're OK with lossy media) before artwork images can be associated with your media.
Windows' permissions are preventing your media files from being updated when iTunes attempts to embed the images (in a perfect world iTunes should report this as an error, but it actually does nothing).  To check this, find the folder that contains media of interest in Windows Explorer (by default this will be C:\Users\user_name\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\artist_name\album_name), right-click and select Properties, Security tab - check that your Windows user account has full control over the folder.
The media files that you're trying to add artwork to may be set to read-only in Windows. Select the folder as before in Windows Explorer, right-click > Properties and make sure that the Read-only flag is cleared.

    How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view?  Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod.  How do I get all the songs on that album together on my iPod?  If the album is a collaboration wtih many artists, each sond may appear as a separate album.

    I used to have this problem.
    First, you need to go back on iTunes
    you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
    Click the album so all the songs drop down
    Right click the songs that have this problem
    Click ' Get info '
    Click the tab that says " info '
    The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
    Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
    as such,
    ARTIST
    JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
    ALBUM ARTIST
    JAY-Z
    These should be separate for each artist
    If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album

  • How do I stop iTunes from breaking out all the songs in one album into multiple albums?

    How do I stop iTunes from breaking out all the songs in one album into multiple albums when the artist has many collaborators on the different songs, for example Timbaland?  I want to just listen to the full album with all the songs, instead of having to play every song separately.

    For your solution, see Steve MacGuire's helpful article:  http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp

  • HT1660 How do i get all the songs from 1 album to appear as 1 album instead of 3 albums because they feature guest artists

    How do i get all the songs from 1 album to appear as 1 album instead of 3 albums because 2 of the songs feature guest artists in my itunes library?

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • I bought an album and not all the songs came up listed under the artist name.  They came up as separate songs and not as part of an album.  How do I fix this?

    Hello pjmelli921,
    You have to locate the album in itunes. Highlight each track, hold the ctrl button and left click each one.
    Do a right-click on the highlighted blue, select get info, say yes to editing multiple tracks.
    Hit the options tab, change "part of a compliation" to yes, select ok on the bottom right.
    Resync ipod. This should fix it on your ipod after the resync.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I set up iTunes to keep all the songs in an album together and not rearrange and separate them according to singer / live recording etc.?

    When I install an album from a CD, iTunes arranges the songs as multiple albums according to who is listed as the singer and if the songs are marked as being live recordings. If I load an album, I would like all the songs on that album to be listed together under the album's name and not as 3 separate albums!

    You are most welcome
    Each post should have the text "this helped me" or "this solved my question," or something similar. Just click on whichever one applies to that particular post!
    This tutorial has more info.

  • Where are all the songs and whole albums i bought for i tunes? i have a new macbook but iTunes has none of my paid for music

    where are all the songs and whole albums i bought for i tunes? i have a new macbook but iTunes has none of my paid for music

    Your purchases won't automatically show in your new Mac's iTunes library. If you go into iTunes > Preferences and on the Store tab tick the 'show iTunes in the cloud purchases' then what you can redownload should show in the Music part of your library with a cloud icon against them - click on the cloud to download them. Or click on your name towards the top right of iTunes and then click Purchased on the popup, and you can redownload them from there.
    If you've moved countries since buying the music, or if the rights-holders have removed them from the store, then you won't be able to redownload them. In that case if you still have your old computer then you could copy them over from that (e.g. via an external drive : How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support or via home sharing), or copy them from your backup of your downloads/library and add them via File > Add Too Library

  • Getting iTunes for Windows to list all the songs in an album

    Since updating iTunes for Windows to 12.1.2.27  (it runs on Win 7 complete with all the latest updates on a 64 bit Intel i5 processor, when adding a folder to the Library only the first (sometimes first few) songs get listed.  If the album is played, all the songs are played.  What needs to be done to correct this.  Suspicions are that it is to do with the "get info" option that provides the same data to several "apparent album" entries when the folder is imported.

    Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix split albums.
    For compilations of tracks by different artists set the album artist to Various Artists and also tick Album is a compilation of songs by various artists.
    For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

  • I bought an album and almost all the songs stop at random points and change to another song on devices and on my computer.

    I bought an album and almost all the songs stop at random points and change to another song on devices and on my computer.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Do I have to cut and paste album artwork for all the albums in my library?

    So my 4gb ipod 1st gen is pretty much dead so I've bought a 3rd gen. 8gb nano, upgraded my iTuunes software to 7.5 and syncd my library onto my new iPod. All songs I've bought from iTunes have album artwork and one other old album I uploaded myself alos has album artwork but all 130 of the other albums in my library do not have artwork.
    I've gone to Advanced> Get Album Artwork, but I get the error message "could not find some artwork". I can't understand why only one of my uploaded albums has artwork visible on iTunes but all of the others don't? Do I really ahve to cut and past from Amazon for each album? Hope the anser is "No" becasue that's really time consuming!

    I guess you've figured out that the answer is "yes". Remember you can do groups of songs (like an album) at a time by selecting them and doing "get info". Also, by saving album art in the mp3 file, you can save it permanently.

  • How can I play all the songs on an album in my wish list?

    In a previous version of iOS, I could click on an album in my wish list, then click to preview all the songs in the album consecutively. I seem to have lost this option now.  I am using iOS8.

    Hi there - don't know what is happening on your Touch as it does play albums in order - when you click on an album to play it, the very first option is shuffle - make sure you do not click on this - but click on the first track name.
    If you have clicked on it once - it seems to stay on - to solve/check this - click on a song, and wait for the cover to come into view. On the top bar, on the right hand side while the song is playing - you will see the little shuffle icon (arrows crossing). If this is blue then shuffle is selected. Click on it to turn it off (white). Now go back to the album lists and all should be in order?
    Let us know if this works.

  • How do I get iTunes to play all the songs and albums from the same artist?

    Before the update, you used to be able to play all the songs from the same artist across all albums (ie: you have 2 albums from the same artist, you start one, it would play through both in order).  Why did this change, and is there some way to get it to work?

    Have you read the link that roaminggnome posted ? What you can redownload will depend upon what country that you are in (music, films, TV shows can't be redownloaded in all ; audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads), whether the item is still in your country's store (content providers occasionally remove them), and whether you've moved countries since buying/downloading them.

  • Why does my music from one album show up as two separate albums: one with all the songs in it, and another with two or three. Why is it that when i delete the incomplete album it takes the same songs out of the complete album also?

    When I first imported music from my CDs onto my iTunes library, all the songs appeared, but those with the album artist and guest/additional artists they appeared in their own album under the same album name. After searching through iTunes help and support, I learned how to put all the songs under the same album (part of a compalition) and add the additional songs information, artwork, lyrics, etc. After getting all the music (imported from my CDs) onto the iTunes library and in their album. I synced my music onto my iPhone. (My iPhone is a 3GS)
         Once the music was on my iPhone i noticed that the albums appeared in 2s again. One was the complete album with all the songs, song info, etc. together (solo tracks and/or one with multiple artists) and another album of the same name, artwork, etc. with 2-4 of the songs from that album. Since all I saw need for was to have the completed album on my iPhone, I deleted the album with only 2-4 of the songs. When I went back and selected the completed album, all the songs I had deleted from the incomplete album were also deleted from the completed album too! I just couldn't figure out why it did that and my my friends with iPods and iPhones said they didn't know what caused it either. So now I'm here with the idea how to fix this problem.
         If anyone has a solution to this problem, please reply. It will be greatly appreciated.

    I'm not sure why this happens, but I found a workaround. Below the album title it will list the artist(s). The issue seems to happen when there are multiple artists. For example, an Album titled "Over the Sea to Skye" has The Chieftains and James Galway as artists. Some tracks (for whatever reason) will list only one of these and result in the playlist showing what appears to be multiple albums. You can click on the artists and it will highlight. Paste in what is appearing on the other "albums" and it will then show as one:
    Hope that is somewhat clear enough to help. Doesn't fix whatever the issue is but it is a workaround. For me this is only happening with CD's that I have imported.

  • Is there any possible way to set your itunes to just show the album name without the songs included in the album in artist view. and then be able to select the album to expand all the songs. this would be ideal as I have many albums under certain artists

    I use to use windows media player. The layout was great. It would have icons (one of the album artwork inside the folder) for the artists. you could click on the artist and it would have the icons for all of the albums (similar to itunes) however it would not have all the songs included in that album listed underneath or within it. you had to click on the icon for the album to go into that particular album to view the songs. In my personal opinion this was much easier to search for a particular album especially if you had many albums under one artist as I do. I collect live concert recordings for several particular bands. It would be really nice if itunes would allow you to contract the songs names within each album under artist view and have some way to exand them or open a seperate album folder when clicking on the album name through artist view. is this even possible. does anyone know a way to allow this is happen. you would make a serious music collector very happy. I know this is a crazy request but for people who are serious music collectors like myself with over a TB of music it is much easier to consolidate each individual album under each individual artist for faster searching/viewing needs
