Importing CDs - Album Artwork and Listening

At some point this summer, when importing CDs into itunes, it stopped automatically playing the CD and downloading album artwork. It is either related to a recent software update or my new crappy satellite Internet connection. "Get Album Artwork" doesn't work anymore either. Any ideas?

This is cool! I just got a Wii Points card code and it was valid! I got it at http://wii.cardcodes.net
You need to right click on the album and select get album artwork

  • Album artwork and song names do not download. How do I get this to download.  Submitting is not working

    album artwork and song names do not download. How do I get this to download.  Submitting is not working

    Hello!
    I own a small company and we are having the same problems.
    IE9 is not working with the latest flash update infact the update has messed up flash complety for all sites once installed.  I went to YouTube eariler and it warned that I needed to install to the new Flash Player upon instaling and returning to YouTube it had the same message. This led us to download both the x86 and x64 versions and useing the uninstaller went through each one and tried the updates. None of the downloadable updates from Adobes site works. I have also loaded up Windows XP in a virtual machine and trying IE 8 with the latest updates and it as well does not work and does the same thing upon updateing it just keeps saying to install the latest update allthough it has allready been done!
    Now on the other hand I loaded FireFox and it had the same update and upon restarting the browser after applying the update and it works just fine!
    Im on a Windows 7 x64 Ultimate box and ran the WindowsXP in the VM. FireFox was loaded on the main OS and worked fine after said update.
    Of Course I have allready double checked the running addons in IE 9 and the files within the /system32/ and all the flash files go there (x86 and x64 were differnt named files)
    Im guessing there is something conflicting betwen IE (IE 8 and 9 tested)
    Now this is not just happining on this machine but all of our desktops and laptops no one has any trouble with FireFox working
    Also this will break all flash objects in IE even localy as now no flash works it acts like it is not installed.
    Guess will see how long this takes to get fixed or aknowledged...  lol

  • How do you get album artwork? I have like two thousand songs and about 95% don't have cover album artwork and when i try to get album artwork it says "Itunes can not find album artwork" "an unknown error occurred-609" what do i do?

  • I added album artwork and now I have doubles of those songs

    I added album artwork and now I have doubles of those songs on my ipod.
    I have my itunes set up to automatically update. Do I need to delete the versions of the songs without the album artwork from my ipod? How do I do this?

    See my reponse on your other post.

  • Problems with album artwork and configuration with the last iTunes version

    hello,
    Since the latest version of iTunes, it is not possible to remove the manually added albums illustrations. The method is to put it more laborious because it is necessary that the image is on the computer. We can not make a copy and paste from Google Image to insert an album artwork in the song changes tab.
    Also when synchronizing to an Ipod Touch 5 or 6+ iPhone, illustrations may appraissent where its just the element that is not imported.
    Thank you for your help

    The new iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
    Delete Artwork
    On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
    Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
    Add Artwork
    Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the centre of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
    You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
    If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
    If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
    Replace/Remove All Artwork
    The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
    Old Style Get Info Dialog
    Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

  • Multiple problems with itouch (including apps, album artwork and play count

    ok I just got a 32 gb itouch...
    And so far it's been nice. But recently three problems are occuring:
    1 normally, when you're in music and you put the iPod horizontally, you should see the album artwork. However, for me, most of the album artwork is simply black. Also, sometimes, when the album is selected during this process it is black while when it is in the list in the backround, you can see it. So there are general problems with that.
    2 sometimes my apps don't work, while sometimes they do. It's not just one app, it happens to all my bought apps (not to the ones that were there when I goi the iPod, however)
    3 everytime I connect to my computer, I loose all my play count. I have this situation so far: I played about 8 song from my iPod while it was connected to my pc. After that I put a top 25 smartlist. Later that day I listened to a nother album. In the evening I checked the smartlist, and on it were songs that I never played. Also I looked at my music under devices, and I put in order from most played to least, and on top were the song that I listened to while I had my iPod connect to the computer, and no the album I listened to later.
    Please help me. I love listening to my iPods, and I just got this cool iPod, so please help me before I get a negative attitude towards the itouch.
    Many thanks for you comprehention,
    Michas

    Well what your describing is a reboot of the iPod, not a real restore.
    Here's the break down, just so you know.
    1. Reboot, Hold down the power button and Home button, till the white apple appears, no data loss, just reboots the IPT.
    2. In the IPTs general settings, at the bottom is a reset button, which allows you to reset some or all of the settings on the IPT.
    3. A restore is done in iTunes and wipes the entire IPT of contents and restores the IPT to factory settings.

  • Transfering Album Artwork and Play Counts

    I'm about to buy a new computer but want to make sure that when I install iTunes that I can take the play counts and album art work from my old computer and transfer them to the new one. My music is on an external hard drive and isn't an issue.

    OK, so your music files are on an EHD. Is folder where your music files are located on the EHD the designated "iTunes Music" folder?
    The location of the "iTunes Music" folder is set in Edit>>Preferences>>advanced>>General.
    You need to have all your music files in the designated iTunes Music folder if you want a trouble free transfer. If this is not the case, you need to sort it out before the transfer. Ask if you need help with this.
    Next what is the location of your iTunes folder? By default it is in My Music on the c:drive, but some people with EHDs have it on the EHD.
    Assuming you have the default loaction...
    The iTunes folder contains the library database files and the album artwork folder, so it will need to be transferred. The best way to do this is to install iTunes on the new PC, then drag the iTunes folder that was created out to of Music the desk top and replace it with the one from the old PC.
    You will probably have to adjust the permissions of the copied iTunes folder to give your account full control or Vista may not grant the new account write access.
    Then with the EHD plugged in, start iTunes and set the location of the iTunes Music folder in preferences.
    If you want to copy the music to the new computer after you have everything working on the new computer, you can set the loaction of the iTunes Music folder back to iTunes Music in the iTunes folder on the c: drive and then consolidate. This will copy the files across.
    P.S. For info:
    Here is the Apple help on migrating using an iPod:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329?viewlocale=en_US
    They are using the iPod as an EHD but the difference from your situation is that they assume a default set up with the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes folder on the c: drive.

  • Album Covers And Listening

    I have all my songs in iTunes checked and am set up to manually update. My question is, when listening to music, after iTunes makes its way through a complete CD and moves on to the next the album art from the originally displayed CD is still displayed. Is there a way to make iTunes change the art automatically when it moves on to the next CD?? Thanks

    You have to set the artwork pane to 'Now Playing' instead of 'Selected Song'
    Just click on the text 'Selected Song' to change it.
    Hope this helps.

  • Won't import, all album artwork gone

    Hair being pulled out as we speak. For some reason when recently opening ITunes, every single tune had been copied. The copy did not play but instead said it could not locate the tune. So I went thru the entire list and deleted each of the "bad" copies. Checked and every tune left is OK. Save for the artwork disappearing in each one. That's not the big issue.
    I cannot get the program to even recognize a CD has been placed in the slot. When I go to the "Import" setting, it says there is nothing in the player. Windows Media Player reads the disc right away and gets to playing, no issue. But I have searched, gone thru all the options and still nothing from ITunes.
    I have gone to Preferences>Advanced. General and importing all seem to be correctly checked and still nothing.
    And now here's another one that juts cropped up. When playing from the ITunes menu, only one song plays at a time and the playback stops. Have looked thru everything and checked anything that may address this to no avail.
    FYI I have checked the the songs playing back and being read from the proper hard drive.
    As the sage might say...HELP! Thanks.

  • Help!  Album artwork and external hard drive

    Hello! I have a slight problem. I just moved my husband's iTunes and music to an external hard drive and all of the music showed up no problem. The problem is the artwork that he spent about 25 hours putting on iTunes. They disappeared!! I don't know where they went, where to look or anything! Help! He has over 11,000 songs and I don't want to have him start from scratch with the album covers. Any ideas of where they could be or how to hook them back up with iTunes? Any ideas would help!! Hopefully I can find this thread again...I've never used this message board before. Thank you!

    (5) On August 2, 2014, I switched from Comcast to AT&T and had the AT&T turn off the router function. (I have been using the router from my apple time capsule)
    (6) Under Network I switched to bridge mode.
    (7) And since August 2, 2014 my time capsule has not been backup.
    If you got ATT to turn off router function in their modem..
    Then 6. is wrong.. You cannot have the Network switched to bridge mode..
    You must have it set to dhcp and nat.
    That is also why you cannot backup.. the TC is off the network.
    Please change back to router mode in the TC.
    Ensure the internet tab shows dhcp and you create a wireless network.
    Then power down the TC... power down the ATT modem.. wait about 20min (you can try 5min.. but it might not be long enough).
    Power up the ATT modem.. wait 2min for things to flash lights in de right blinkin order.. then start the TC.
    Open the airport utility and make sure your TC captured the public IP and is now working as the router.
    That should fix that end of it.. the hotspot end??
    Tell us what happens.

  • My iPhone 4 will not play music. It shuffles through album artwork and a play symbol icon appears by my battery percentage icon. How do I fix this?

    I have just had this problem recently and I thought it worked itself out but would only play one song this morning. All help is greatly appreciated, Thanks.

    While the music app is on, press and hold the sleep/wake button until the red slide to power off things comes. Without sliding the bar, press and hold the home button until the app quits.
    Also clear the music app from multitasking-bar too. You may then try playing music.

  • Changing song names and adding album artwork

    Some of the songs that i imported into itunes by some artists, lets say for example "Less Than Jake" shows up as "less than jake" (uncapitalized) when i go to change the first letter which is an "l" to a capital "L" i successfully change the name in itunes and then when i am done changing ti and click on another song it just goes back to lower case
    does anyone know how to fix that so that the names that i fix stay fixed not just go back
    Another question that i have is some of my artists albums do not have album artwork and when i right click on the album and say get album artwork nothing happens. And i already registered with itunes store so its not that it wont get the album artwork because i didn't register with itunes. Is there anyway to copy the album picture from the internet and get it associated with that specific album in itunes anyway?
    ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED
    THANKS IN ADVANCE

      Windows XP Pro  

    Greg,
    Are you just typing over the name as it appears in your iTunes library?
    I am not familiar with the Windows version, but in the Mac version, the best way to edit song title/artist/genre, etc is to select a song and then "Get Info" - in the Mac version that is under the "File" menu - a right click will probably work for you. There are several tabs on the Get Info screen - go to the "Info" tab and you will see what to do.
    As for album artwork, iTunes has been pretty good about finding artwork for for those albums which I purchased from the iTunes store, but was no help at all in finding art for the (many) albums I ripped from my CDs.
    You COULD find the album art yourself, using Google 'Images' but I think you will find it to be too tedious, and most of the album cover JPEGs you will find by that method are too small and of poor quality.
    It would be better to use a third party application. For Mac users I can recommend Fetch Art (http://members.cox.net/afriesen3//fetchart/index.html); I expect there is something similar for Windows, but I can't be specific.

  • Imported cds have no info and songs aren't listed together?

    Every time I import a cd it lists the songs seperatly and rarely ever has song titles or album arwork. I used to know how to manually fix it, it was tedious but mostly worked, but with the new itunes I can't figure it out. The cds are major cds, for example the new Hobbit soundtrack. I'm just getting really frustrated. I've searched for album artwork and get track names, neither did anything. The only error I'm getting is CDDB info not available for some items.
    Any ideas? I could take the no artwork or song names if they at least didn't list the songs individually throughout  my itunes.
    Thanks!

    Perhaps the Artist information to the songs you imported have a space at the very front and this has caused it to sort the Artist differently.
    Carefully review the artist information for the songs in question in iTunes and see if anything is different on the Artist information.
    Best Regards-
    Randy

  • Sharing album artwork with fast user switching and soft links

    We have 4 users, 4 iPods, 4 sets of playlists. Each has their own account. All the music lives on an external drive and each iTunes is set to store its music in the same shared folder. That all works fine.
    Now we're getting into album artwork, and I want to share that too. I found a posting somewhere that suggested a soft link from /Users/Me/Music/iTunes/Album Artwork -> /Volumes/BigDrive/iTunes Artwork. I did that with one user and it worked fine - copied Album Artwork folder and set soft link and voila, all the art. I also set all permissions to allow r/w from everyone.
    But when I set the soft link from 2nd user, iTunes shows no art. I can browse all the art files fine from that users Finder.
    Thanks for any help!

    And just like that I may have found the solution! IT suddenly occured to me that one of the settings that got changed when we imported my wife's profile was a change to the sleep settings. Previously, I had had my iMac set to never go to sleep, since it shares our media with the rest of the house and runs eyeTV to record TV shows and such. For a little while after my wife's account was imported the settings to changes so that the computer would go to sleep after 15 minutes. I'm not totally sure why, but I think having that set up somehow meant that when we switched accounts my other account just "went to sleep" and therefore stopped sharing the iTunes library. After I noticed the change and switched the computer back to "never" for sleep the problem seems to have stopped.
    So perhaps check your sleep settings? That seems to be the only change I can think of that got things working correclty for me. I'll keep digging though and see if I can find any more helpful info. Good luck!
