How does the iPod Classic Respond to Multiple Album Artworks?

iTunes allows you to put more than one artwork as the file's album art ... does it ever cycle through them, or is it just "there", taking up precious bytes?

To date, the firmware only ever shows the first image in any given file. You can, however, give different artwork to different tracks and the iPod will display the appropriate image. An example I have is Mike Oldfield's "Light & Shade", the first CD is "Light" while the other is "Shade". I have this arranged as a single 22 track album within iTunes with the "Light" artwork on the first 13 tracks and the "Shade" artwork on the other 9. As far as I can tell the iPod draws on a separate artwork cache created during the sync process for displaying artwork. I assume this would only store the primary image from any given file, however the original data is still embedded in the media file so to that extent the data is still "there". In the scheme of things it's hardly likely to be a problem unless you routinely embed dozens of images into each track. If you drop images onto the album art panel in iTunes they will be appended to any existing images. If you *Get info* for multiple tracks & paste in the artwork box there then all the images are replaced with the single new image.

    It doesn't display, the ipod only displays/uses the first piece of cover art. So yes since the artwork is embedded in the track it's just there taking up space.

  • Does the iPod Classic 7th generation support movies in the HD format?

    Does the iPod Classic 7th generation support movies in the HD format as well as SD or just SD?

    No, the max resolution for video playback is generally 640x480, as stated in the specs
    http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/specs.html
    The screen is actually half of that resolution, at 320x240.  HD at 720p is 1280x720.  HD at 1080p is 1920x1080

  • How does the iPod organize content?

    When I manually add content to my video iPod, how does the iPod know where to put it? Does it go into Movies, Music, TV shows, podcasts, etc? Does it rely on the mp3 id tags??? If yes, can I force a movie to go into the music folder my simply changing mp3 id3 tags?
    30G video ipod   Windows XP Pro  

    1 I by its tag
    2 depends on the files tag
    3 No...mp4 and m4a files have diffrent tags then mp3s
    In iTunes 6.0.5 if you change the "VIdeo Kind" it will sort correctly. Just right click file, and in the options tab change the setting under "VIdeo Kind".
    Besides iTunes if you want to change a tag you have to use a mp4/m4a tag editor program like "YAMB ver 2 preview" it can change your tags and much more and its free http://yamb.unite-video.com/
    you can try YAMB ver 1.6 but I don't think it works very well with tags.

  • Does the Ipod Classic 120 GB still connect to itunes? Because mine will not show up at all in itunes!

    My Ipod classic will not show up in itunes at all but it says its charging and that it is connected to the computer! I have my itunes updated fully and it still does not work! So i am thinking that maybe its not able to connect anymore because of the new usb connecters or the version of itunes! But i dont know so i really hope i can get this resolved!

    Hello Riio312,
    I would be concerned too if my iPod was not recognized by iTunes.  I found a couple of articles that might help with this. 
    If you don't see your iPod in the My Computer section of Windows, follow the steps in this article:
    iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
    If Windows recognizes your iPod but iTunes does not, follow the steps in this article:
    iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes

    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

  • Does the iPod Classic work with USA SPEC interfaces

    I am very intrested in purchasing a iPod Classic and a USA SPEC PA11-CHR iPod interface to connect the iPod to the factory radio in my truck. The problem is that nobody seems to know if the new iPod Classic will work with this interface, not even USA SPEC. Does anyone have any experiece with this? I have heard that the new iPod Nano's work with this interface, but not like they should. Any info on the Classic and its compatability with this interface would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm currently using an integration system from NEO car audio in my Mazda 3(which I'm sure all our integration kits are some variation of the same exact unit), not a cheep upgrade either. And I'm having the same lockout issues, "connected to accessory". I somehow managed to bypass it once, and get back to the main menu, but have yet to do it since that one accidental time. The system worked PERFECT with my 60G 5th gen. Apple should have made it a little more clear that they were going to attempt to control every aspect of our lives once we purchased the new ipod. Hey look, guess since they started using PC parts they thought it would be ok to become just like Windows "you will do it our way or not at all"
    I will return my 160g classic as well, and go back to my 60g Video. I may consider buying the 160 again later down the road, once Apple has stopped taking what ever drugs they are on that’s impaired their judgment to the point of stupidity. They even disabled the video out, you have to purchase their "NEW" video cable in order to hook the classic up to your tv or av system.
    MORE THAN UPSET!!!
    Apple get a grip! If you start down this road, you will loose the large following that has taken YEARS for you to gather. Are you sure you want to start this now?

  • How does the ipod touch connect to the internet?

    I am looking at buying my kids the ipod touch 4th genreation but how does it connect to the internet or is it just itunes?

    Wirelessly - WiFi. iTunes provides the means to sync directly with the computer and to make backups that are stored on the computer along with the library of music, movies, apps, etc. With iOS 5 or 6 installed it can sync wirelessly as well.

  • How does the iPod sort artists?

    Hopefully this can be answered easily and quickly. I was changing the fields on a few artists and noticed that is has the album artist listed like The Beatles. Which while being true is a real pain. If that's how the iPod lists all the artists under The. Does it work sorting them under Artist? Or album artist?

    It sorts on Artist unless teh Album Artist field is filled in.
    If you do nto want to use the Album Artist field, don't.
    Or you can fill in the *Sort Artist* field.
    Right click on one song by The Beatles.
    Clcik on the Sort tab.
    In the *Sort Artist* field, put Beatles, then OK.
    On this song, right click -> Apply Sort Field and select Same Artist.
    This will copy Beatles to the *Sort Artist* field for all songs by The Beatles.
    The Beatles will now be sorted under B.

  • 160gb ipod classic won't display album artwork...sometimes

    I have a 160GB iPod Classic (version 2.0.4 PC), and ran into a strange problem regarding displaying album artwork. Here's what I can describe:
    --> When browsing through albums, any albums that have been added to my iPod or had their info changed since a certain time (not sure of the exact date but I believe it to be July 2013) do not display artwork.
    --> If these albums are played, one song from the album will not display artwork, but all the rest will. I can't detect any set pattern as to which song won't display artwork once I update it, but I'm sure there's some pattern.
    --> All the album artwork is displayed on Cover Flow and on iTunes, but not in these places.
    --> It doesn't matter whether I downloaded the artwork directly through iTunes (i.e. clicked "Get Album Artwork") or put in artwork from a file on my computer, this happens literally every single time.

    Probably, the easiest way to resolve this is to copy the artwork from one song on an album and paste it into every song on that album.
    In your iTunes Library, choose an album that has artwork issues; choose one track that has the artwork and copy it. Then:
    the slightly longer method is to check each song individually, until you find the one with the missing artwork. Paste (the copy previously made) from one of the other tracks on the album.
    a slightly quicker method is to highlight all the songs on that album (make sure it is just that one album) and paste the artwork into the box.
    Sync the iPod with your iTunes Library.

  • How is the way to download a music album artwork  to itunes???

    you can add artwork by going these routes:
    1) individual tracks
    right-click and +get info+ on the file, go to the artwork tab and click on add. navigate to the image file on your HD
    2) multiple items
    select them all in iTunes, +get info+, copy the image out of Safari or Preview, click once into the artwork box and paste the image into it.

    This thread - with a quote from an LR4 Beta thread - says that all 6 central Basic controls in PV2012 (Exposure thru Blacks) are now image-adaptive, as were Recovery, Fill Light, and Clarity in previous versions:

    Whether they are suitable for creating a Timelapse sequence without significant flicker is entirely subjective and up to you - and of course, dependant on your specific images & how they change over time.  Sorry, not much advice beyond try PV2012, and revert back to PV2010 if you get too much flicker.

  • How to play only one episode of a podcast on the iPod Classic 120GB?

    With my previous iPod-- the 60GB iPod Photo-- I could play only one episode of a podcast. I would scroll to "Podcasts" on the main menu, find the name of the podcast I wanted to hear, click on an episode and only that one would play. If I wanted to listen to all the episodes of that particular podcast, I'd access it through the Playlist feature.
    The system above for playing a single episode doesn't seem to work on the iPod Classic 120 GB. All the episodes play no matter how I access the podcast.
    What am I overlooking?
    Thanks.

    I must have had the Shuffle setting turned on for the old iPod, but I forgot all about that.
    Probably not! My 30GB video iPod will only play one Podcast episode at a time and this does not change by using shuffle. I think your 60Gb iPod was the same as the 30GB.
    As S_Edwards has posted and as you have found, the Classic does use shuffle to alter the way Podcasts are played. Quite why Apple use shuffle to control single or continuous playing of Podcasts, and then not document it either, is a mystery.
    As a useful reminder, while the Podcast is playing, the screen display will show 1 of 1 to denote single-episode mode or 1 of x to denote continuous-episode mode.
