Itunes "Get Album Artwork"

So I have 13,543 songs in itunes.
when I choose "Get Album Artwork" it show 1of, 2of 2978. I assume that it's counting the number of albums. Not cuing off the number of songs.
Anyone else notice this?

You could always do what I do and save the album artwork in a folder, then drag the image to the little square that says "Drag Album Artwork Here." Click the fourth button (and arrow pointing up in a square) in that little row on the bottom right side to make it appear, then click the arrow in a circle to make it show selected item. Select the song or songs and drag the artwork in there.

  • Get Album Artwork won't work

    Does anyone have any tips on how to get this feature to ever work right?
    I recently just bought Hot Sauce Committee Part Two by Beastie Boys on CD. I import the CD into iTunes. Then i shift click on all the songs and right click and go to 'Get Album Artwork' and it tells me 'Could Not Get Album Artwork For Some Albums'
    I have no idea what to do. When i imported the CD it imported it with the same exact spelling and spacing for the artist name and album title on itunes. But it acts like iTunes has never heard of this album. I can't update my Genius thing to be able to generate a genius playlist using any song from this CD either.
    It's almost like iTunes won't accept or acknowledge any music that was not bought through the iTunes store.
    please, does anyone have any clue on how to get itunes to act like this cd exists so i can make itunes get album artwork for it and allow it to be used for genius playlists?

    iTunes will only place artwork for albums that are offered in the iTunes Store. Be it the song lengths or order or who knows what, it doesn't see it as matching.
    This will have no effect on Genius Playlists. I have songs without album info or cover in my Genius results.
    You can manually add the cover yourself from a pic/jpg/png instructions are here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1409

  • Embedded Art Shows Fine - "Get Album Artwork" Won't Transfer

    I have a MacBook Pro with OS 10.4.11, and iPod Classic v1.1.1, and I'm having a problem:
    Any artwork that I retrieved using iTunes' "Get Album Artwork" option DOES NOT show up on my iPod. All the artwork I manually retrieved from Google (copy & pasted) shows fine.
    I'm told that copying and pasting artwork embeds the image file right into the mp3 file itself. The artwork that iTunes retrieves is NOT stored in each mp3 file, but rather in its own separate database. Somehow that database doesn't seem to be transferring to the iPod.
    Anyone else having this problem? Any way to let Apple know directly?

    *How to find tracks without artwork*
    To find all the tracks without embedded artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant jpeg images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the abum, use CTRL-I or Option-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box. This should also let you embed iTMS downloaded artwork.
    I don't know how well these tools work with a manually-managed iPod since I maintain my full library on an external drive & sync from that.

  • ITunes can't get album artwork for songs iTunes has in the store... how do i fix this?

    i have a bunch of songs that either have the wrong album artwork or none at all.  the weirdest thing is that some of the albums are SOLD on iTunes. in fact, if i highlight one of my songs in iTunes, Ping sees it and shows me the correct cover art. BUT when i click "get album artwork", it tells me it cannot find the artwork. i've tried matching the text (song title, album title, artist, genre) exactly as it is in iTunes, but that doesn't help. it is doing this for about 60 of my albums and i don't know how to fix it. how can i get it to find the artwork?
    also... when iTunes finds the WRONG artwork, how can i direct it to the correct one?

    Albums, artists and complications must match precisely for iTunes to get a hit.  If you have a compilation, chances are you have a 'various artists' for an album artists ... there is a bit of a science to it.  I've managed to get most of my 'picky ones' to match.  But I have some that just won't - for whatever reason.

  • How can I get album artwork without using iTunes on the computer?

    I used touchcopy to copy the songs off my ipod touch onto my new computer, so i could then load them onto my ipod nano. I have got the songs on the nano, and theyre still on my touch, but there is no album artwork on either. For my nano, i can use iTunes, but the computer my touch is synced to is, well, dead. So, is there a way to get the album artwork back on my touch?
    Also, on my nano, it doesnt have any of the artists or album (name) for the songs
    Thanks

    Hi Wickster,
    I have found the following resource that may provide more help:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Add artwork to songs and other items
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12361
    Additionally, you can instruct iTunes to search and download artwork from the iTunes Store. To do so, click File > Library > Get Album Artwork
    Thanks,

  • How do I get album artwork into itunes when it is not available from itunes

    Previously I could drag an image into the corner of itunes where album artwork is displayed, but it doesn't seem to work in this version of itunes.

    (Right-click)->Get Info on the album, and there'll be an artwork window at the lower right corner
    of the info (or maybe summary?) tab.

  • When I "Get Album Artwork", iTunes always returns a result that artwork for one song could not be found; but the song is not in my library.

    When I "Get Album Artwork" in  iTunes 10.4.0.80 running under Windows 7, iTunes can find the missing artwork requested.  But it also returns the same result, "Artwork for "Aught 7 - Mother Chorizo" could not be found.  The problem is I do not have the song or any song from Aught 7 in my music library.  I'm guessing this is an issue with a corrupted iTunes database.  Can someone tell me how to correct this issue?
    Thanks in advance.

    1. delete this songs from your liblary
    2. go File -> Add File to Liblary... (Ctrl+O) or File -> Add Folder to Liblary

  • Getting Album Artwork for songs NOT in iTunes and ONLY on iPod

    Hello
    Am I missing something obvious here? I am struggling with the album artwork feature for use in the coverflow section of the iPod Classic 80GB. I do NOT keep all of my songs in iTunes as my laptop hard drive is just not big enough.
    My problem is that highlighting the songs on my iPod once I've connected it to iTunes then selecting Get Album Artwork simply doesn't work. Only trawling through countless forums on various websites I've discovered that possibly the artwork is only updated for songs you have in the iTunes library or only for songs bought on iTunes. I have 1000s of CDs I've uploaded onto my iPod (surely lots of people do not keep their music in iTunes for the same reason as me - small hard drive?)
    There MUST be a software fix for this problem that could be issued out? Or if not, somebody should come up with a fix on an independent website. By the way, all of my tracks on the iPod have had their info obtained from the Gracenotes system used through iTunes so not having matching info to iTunes cannot be a reason for the lack of artwork can it?
    I'd love to hear a solution to this problem.
    Thanks

    My problem is that highlighting the songs on my iPod once I've connected it to iTunes then selecting Get Album Artwork simply doesn't work.
    Correct. It's meant to access your iTunes library and add artwork from the iTunes store.
    There MUST be a software fix for this problem that could be issued out?
    Nothing that I know of because it's meant to work this way.
    By the way, all of my tracks on the iPod have had their info obtained from the Gracenotes system used through iTunes so not having matching info to iTunes cannot be a reason for the lack of artwork can it?
    No, because as I say, it's meant to add artwork in the iTunes library (although even this can sometimes be an issue if the album info obtained from Gracenote doesn't match what's in the iTunes store.)
    If an iPod is set to manage the songs manually, then it's possible to add the artwork to the songs directly onto the iPod (when looking at them through iTunes) without adding it to the songs in iTunes. Just copy paste an album image from (say) Amazon into the artwork box in the bottom left corner when looking at the songs on your iPod through iTunes.
    However, I have found that if you are adding artwork directly to the iPod via iTunes and not to songs in the library first of all, then some (or all) artwork may not display correctly.

  • ITunes 7.0.2 get Album Artwork issue

    Hello,
    I use iTunes 7.0.2. I am putting all my cd's onto my new MBP and for some reason iTunes stopped finding Album Artwork for Albums it already found in iTunes 6 and 7.0.1 when I use the "get Album Artwork" function in "advanced".
    I already looked at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304339 and tried it with this option enabled and disabled but none of it helped.
    I also looked through 10 pages of the forum already with the search but did not find any help for my problem. so I hope you can help me.
    Thanks,
    Sebastian

    I've just installed 7.0.2 and have the exact same issue. I just imported several CD's and iTunes refuses to find the album art. I've confirmed the ablums exist in the iTunes Store.

  • 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.

  • Unknown error (-609) when i try to get album artwork in itunes?

  • Trying to get Album Artwork

    I have been trying to get album artwork (Advanced Tab -> Get Album Art) and then once it asks me if I'm sure I want to get it, iTunes 'encounters a problem and needs to close'. Anyone know whats going on or how to fix this?
    Or another way to fix my library with the album art its missing?

    Well I don't know what to say about you first problem. However I may be able to help with getting album artwork. When itunes cant find it I usually go to cduniverse.com and search for the album i'm looking for. When you find it just simply copy and paste. Hope that helps.
