How to get album artwork from amazon

How can I get album artwork from amazon ?

iTunes will only fetch artwork for albums that are on sale in the iTunes Music Store (and sometimes even that doesn't work if the info tags aren't identical). If you have a lot of albums that are older, obscure or simply not licensed for sale in the store iTunes won't add any artwork.
If the artwork isn't available in iTunes you can also add images of your own manually. You'll get information on both methods at this link: iTunes for Windows - Adding artwork to songs and other items
When you can't find the album covers you want from iTunes you can get them from various other sources. I find this site is a good source of artwork which you can copy to your computer: CD/Album Cover Art Search from SlothRadio.
Another place for finding suitable artwork is to go to Amazon. You can also locate artwork using Google image search and put the artist or album name. Locate the album from any of those sources, right click on the image and save it to the desktop, once it's there drag it to the iTunes artwork pane. Once you've added the artwork you can either delete the original file or keep it in a folder somewhere in case you need to use it again. Alternatively there are programs like these that help locate artwork: iTunes Art Importer or MP3 Tag
If you have a scanner you can create your own artwork files by scanning the CD cover itself, this is particularly useful when you are dealing with rare recordings.

    You don't have to have a credit card, you can buy a iTUnes music card from places like wal mart or use a free itunes code from some promotion off a candy bar, soda bottle, cereal ect ect

  • How to delete album artwork from itunes?

    i have tried the clear downloaded artwork, but this didn't work. is there any other way that i can delete album artwork from itunes? i am assuming the artwork is embedded in the files, since the clear downloaded artwork didn't work.

    I think this might have been answered before, but this is what I know.
    One way I'm aware of to clear artwork is to do a properties of any album you want to clear the artwork from, go to artwork, select the artwork and delete it.
    Iirc, iTunes holds the artwork in it's database and not physically with the audio file. I normally use "Mp3tag" to add my artwork to albums so the artwork is embedded in the audio files, I tend to steer clear of adding artwork in iTunes itself. Just be weary when adding images to the audio files themselves: The audio files will increase in size of the image itself, I think that's why iTunes doesn't physically add it to the files.

  • How can I get album artwork from itunes to ipod with manual music managemen

    I have chosen to manage music manually since there are four ipods that use the same computer in my home. I recently upgaded to itunes 7 and got my album art updated but can't figure out how to get it to the ipod without syncing the whole thing. Thanks for your help!

    Well there is a setting to "manage music manually" so that the sync doesn't happen automatically. That way my wife doesn't have to get the stuff I put on the system, etc. I have to drag and drop new stuff onto my iPod after I rip it into iTunes.
    I'd give in and allow the autosync but I have a number of CD's that for some reason iTunes can't "find" even though they're already on the iPod. itunes tells me that if I do the sync the iPod will be erased and rewritten and I'm worried about losing those tunes.
    Thanks for the post! Greetings, Copenhagen.

  • How to get album artwork on iPod video?

    I have a 30 GB iPod video and some songs on there don't have album artwork so I add it after the song has already been on my iPod for like a week. I could always get my album artwork on my iPod and then right before apple came out with iTunes 7 it stopped showing the artwork for my new songs. Also, when I plug in my iPod it shows that the song has album artwork but it doesn't show up when I'm listening to it. Whats going on?

    I was searching for exactly the same issue in the forum.
    I've tried mutiple ways of copying the artwork into the iPod, all to no avail.
    Just like yours, the artwork shows up in iTunes, but not on the iPod screen,and only for a few select albums, mainly stuff I've put in recently (although some new artwork does show).
    I checked to see if there was an issue with the artwork format, but they're all .jpg images, so there shouldn't be any issues there.
    Let's hope someone else might have a solution for us.

  • *** How to get Album Artwork to display on your iPod: ANSWERED!

    I'll start by saying that my iPod Nano would not display ANY album art at all, even though it did in iTunes. I just added 180 albums to my iPod, and they all showed up, perfectly. Here's how I did it:
    1) Move all the songs you want on your iPod into the iTunes music library. (Open iTunes, and drag the files over the "LIBRARY" catagory)
    2) Click Music, under the LIBRARY heading.
    3) Add the artwork to each song/album. I used "iTunes Art Importer". It's a great program, and is really easy to use/download.
    4) Connect your iPod to your computer.
    5) Remove any songs you have on the iPod.
    6) Go to the Music tab, in the iPod control panel.
    7) Sync all music files/playlists from your iTunes library.
    If you did this correctly, all the album art you added in your iTunes library should display on your iPod. Be sure to have "Display Album Art on this iPod" checked off.

  • Getting Album Artwork from Apple.

    Ok, there is a feature on iTunes 7.5 (Not sure about others) That allows you to send music without Artwork to Apple. When you click that, you get this message:
    "Information about songs with missing artwork will be sent to Apple. Apple does not keep any information related to the contents of your music library."
    My question: Does that mean they're just gonna send you the artwork, and then ditch your "queries" or does that mean that they're gonna erase your library?
    Sorry if this is a horribly obvious answer - I'm new to using iTunes, and therefore dealing with Apple.
    Anyway, thanks in advance!

    Does anyone know?

  • ITunes 10.7.0.21 no longer 'gets album artwork'

    It used to be the case until very recently, that you could always get the album artwork for tracks either imported from CD, or bought from other stores by choosing 'Get album artwork' from the right click menu, and sometimes you had to modify the name of the artist or album in order for it to match the iTunes one, but it doesn't work at all anymore. It always comes back with 'Artwork for xxxx could not be found'.
    Has anyone else come accross this, and might know why, and how to fix it?
    Many thanks in advance.

    I bet if you buy the songs from the iTunes store it will work.

  • Can't Download Album Artwork From Itunes Anymore

    Hi, as i browse through coverflow with itunes, my ipod and my iphone i like having high quality album artwork from itunes. As i don't buy my music directly from iTunes i usually just change the fields of the first song of the album to the exact same as the way it is in the iTunes store, so i can get album artwork from them, however now it isn't working anymore, i have tried downloading artwork for a few albums and it isn't coming up it anymore and says "Artwork for... Cannot be found". For example now im trying with Beyoncé's new album I Am...Sasha Fierce and i changed everything on the first song to match exactly as it is on the iTunes store, such as artist, album, year, composer, genre EVERYTHING! please can someone help, i have quite a big screen and it looks bad when i get the artwork from amazon or google images. Thanks.

  • Why won't some imported albums get album artwork

    I just bought a CD and I imported it into I-tunes and was unable to get album art work? This is a brand new CD. Any suggestions?

    iTunes can only find the album art if the CD you have is also available from the iTunes Store. You also have to have the CD information (artist, album) entered into iTunes EXACTLY the same way as it is in the iTunes Store.
    You can try going into your library, right-clicking on the song file and clicking Get Album Artwork.
    If it's still not working, I'd recommend doing it manually.
    Go online and find a picture of the CD. (Amazon usually works well for this)
    Then, select all of the files in the iTunes library (either by Shift or Ctrl clicking) and click File > Get Info
    You can then drag the album artwork from Amazon to iTunes.

  • Having trouble getting album artwork for CDs that ARE in Music Store

    I've got about 300 of my own CDs (not purchased through ITMS) on my computer and iTunes 7 only downloaded about 20 covers automatically. I have gone through and made sure all of my albums and artists are spelled correctly as well as putting all of the years of the releases.
    I can not get any of the album artwork to download.
    Also, the iTunes mini store doesn't open. When I click show mini-store, only a bold line on the bottom of the screen comes up, but the mini store does not open all the way.

    When iTunes 7 was first released the iTunes store got swamped by people updating their artwork (like yourself), this meant it would often only manage to do a few albums at a time. In this situation telling it to try again (and again) was the solution.
    However by now the number of users hitting the store should be lower and this less of a problem.
    Another problem that affects me and others, is that the "Get Album Artwork" command only seems to search the US iTunes store (even if your account is logged in to a different country), this means that at best you might get the wrong artwork, and sometimes no artwork at all. Of course you are apparently in Florida and therefore would want to use the US store and so not be affected by this problem.
    I see you have the misfortune to be using Windows XP, and even worse a Dull Inspiron! You might want to check to see if your firewall [you are using a firewall aren't you?] is interfering with iTunes contacting the iTunes store.
    Rather than using the "Get Album Artwork" command in the "Advanced" menu, try instead selecting a single album, and right clicking and then selecting "Get Album Artwork" from the pop-up menu.
    It might help if you give an example of a problematic album/artist/track name. Also can you confirm the format the track is in? WAV does not support embedded artwork for example.
