How does iTunes Album Artwork work in iTunes 8? Is store artwork embedded?

I know that with music I add artwork to manually, the artwork is written to the ID3 tags of the music, embedded.
I want to know if with iTunes 8, is artwork obtained from the iTunes store also written? I suspect so because in Finder, the quicklook preview of purchased music show the album art.
If so, hooray!
If not, how do I write them in permanently so they stick on whatever computer/device i copy them to?

Artwork that is found and added through iTunes is not embedded. You would need to cut and paste the artwork into the Get Info box or by using third party tagging software in order to embed it.
It's possible that there exists a script to take the iTunes added artwork and embed it. You might try looking at Doug's Scripts:

Best of luck.

  • How does the album art work?

    Hey there!
    How do you associate album art with songs? is there a naming convetion that i should know about?

    Hi Tudor,
    You need to first scan in and add the album artwork to your iTunes library before it will be synchronized with your iPod Nano.
    To do this, firstly scan in an image of the album artwork that you wish to associate with your songs in jpeg format. Then open up iTunes, search for the album, select all of the songs and drag the album artwork file into the small white box under your playlists in the left-hand corner of your screen.
    If the box isn't showing you may need to enable it using the 'View' menu (I think). Sorry I'm not in front of my computer at the moment.
    You can also quickly find artwork files by using
    images.google.com
    Hope this helps. If not, let me know and I will provide you with more detailed step-by-step instructions.

  • HT4914 How does the payment method work for iTunes Match?

    How does the payment method work with iTunes Match. For example, if you have a gift card, does it take it out of that. Or is there tax? What if you cancel your subscription in the middle of the year, does it take the money for that year or not? If someone could answer those questions it would be greatly apreciated. And if anyone has their own questions, feel free to ask. Thank you.

    Hi HLFrank,

  • How does iTunes prioritize loading to iPod when more than 5 accounts?

    Unfortunately, my absent minded son has opened up multiple accounts (4 as a matter of fact) when he has received iTunes cards, not knowing (until now) that his ipod will only take 5 accounts max. Given that his two sisters and I also have accounts, we have 7 on the same library. He does not sync the whole library and we have gone through his playlists to exclude his sisters' songs (which is an ordeal all on its own). I then reset his ipod and synced his playlist first, so that his four accounts and mine would be the ones which were loaded onto his ipod. This seemed to work until we included "music videos", which included some of his sisters' videos. I had assumed that they would not be loaded because the 5 accounts had been filled, but they did and the songs from his two most recent accounts were "de-synced". How does iTunes prioritize the 5 accounts and how can I make sure the 5 that we want are the ones loaded? Thanks in advance,
    Kevin

    i know you can only register 5 computers to use ipod
    This is incorrect.
    You can authorize a max of 5 computers to play your iTunes purchases.
    how do i get rid of the accounts registered to my ipod
    Accounts are not registered to an iPod.
    Tp play songs in iTunes, you need to authorize teh computer. To authorize teh computer, play a purchased song. It will tell you that you need to authorize the computer by inputting your username and password.

  • What exactly are Upcoming Songs & how does iTunes determine them?

    I've never really bothered with Party Shuffle before but it always bugged me when it gave the message about Upcoming Songs. I mean, what is an upcoming song? How does iTunes decide it's upcoming?
    Regards,
    spriter

    Upcoming Songs are tracks in Party Shuffle that have not yet been played. You can set how many upcoming songs are visible, but this setting does not determine how many upcoming songs there are.
    Party Shuffle is like selecting Shuffle for the Library or any playlist except that you can alter the results. You can add or delete tracks and you can manually reorder the upcoming tracks in Party Shuffle. You can also tell Party Shuffle to play higher rated songs more often.
    Regular shuffle stops once every track in the playlist has been played, but Party Shuffle will continue playing, adding repeat tracks when needed.

    The exif data is stored in the photo and will always remain there unless the user removes it.
    Relying on the backup of the iPhone done via iTunes to backup the photos is a start in the correct direction but is ultimately not very smart.  Keep in mind that backups can only be used for restoring to another iOS device.  Apple does not support any method of extracting specific data from the backup.
    Copy the pictures off the device as would be done with any digital camera.

  • How does iTunes detect move format when purchase

    Doh...  I asked previously a question and cant find how to locate the inital request out the the 10's of thousands...  So i'll ask again... Sorry. 
    How does iTunes determine if your system can handle HD movies when  purchasing?  I ask because I have a highend workstation with high end Quadro 2x dual DVI card with matching high resolution monitors (Dell 3007's).  Itunes prevents me from purchasing/downloading HD movies.  If however I purchase them on my other system (mulitmedia laptop) i can play them on my workstation.  Bit of a pain to be purchasing on one system only to play on another...  Solution will be to put HD's on NAS. 
    Any suggestions?

    iTunes is aware of the serial number of each iPhone.  The backups stored in the iTunes area contain serial number information.
    You can change the name of her iPhone several ways.  One is on her iPhone in Settings > General > About > Name.
    You say "... the receiving end sees my name on their display."  That is because you are listed as the financially responsible party - the bill payer.  Her name would be seen, for example, if she calls another iPhone and the call recipient has her set up as a separate contact from you with just her telephone number.
    If you want her name to show up on her phone, in general, perhaps your cellular carrier can do that.

  • HT5637 How does itunes match sync playlists?

    How does itunes match sync playlists between my computer, ipad and ipod?

    It will tell you that the library exceeds the limit and will not proceed. So if you have more than the 25k limit (and keep in mind that iTunes Store purchases do not count against this limit) the only way you can use iTM is to move some music out of the library to get under the limit before signing up for the service.

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two? also I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own?
    Yes, it is possible. 1 apple ID can be associated with up to 10 devices.
    If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps?
    Yes, all purchases are non-transferable.
    How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?
    Every device associated with one apple ID through Find my iPhone is tied to that Apple ID; Find my iPhone will work in the same way with up to ten devices associated with one apple ID. You cannot enable Find my iPhone for one device across two apple IDs
    I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?
    If you have authorized a computer with the old apple ID, you can transfer old media purchased through the old to other devices via iTunes. This doesn't mean the media purchases through the old apple ID it transferred to the new account. If you plan to make future purchases and don't wish to share them with others, make your own apple ID.

    Why does the album artwork appear only when the first song is playing only?

    Hello ckuan. Thx for your reply.
    The songs are not from iTunes, they are from CDs that I had copied to my itunes library.

    How does the sync functionality work with large libraries?

    "Will the Apple TV now read directly from the Time Capsule?" ATV does not 'read' from the TC. It connects to the Mac and itunes library associated with the Mac. Of course the itunes program can 'point' to a library on the TC. You'll still need to have itunes open and the Mac powered on and not sleeping with the TC mounted to the Desktop to use ATV properly. So bottom line the use of TC just adds one more step to view files on the ATV.
