Line across my Album Art!

Hi - is anyone else experiencing this problem: a diagonal hairline through all cover art, even new rips to iTunes for Windows? (kinda like the cross through a 'no smoking sign')
Went to Apple store and they were dumbfounded. Hoping someone else can help with info about how to remove this 'line.'

Oh well it can't hurt really to reinstall iTunes.
But since we're on Winblows, yes, it's risky :P
Hmm if it's a song from the iStore, I'm not sure, but normally you can right-click and select to delete automatically downloaded album artwork, if you have did so for the song. Then you can reselect the option to re-get it from the net.
Hope it works

  • Line through my album art

    Hey,
    Does anyone know why I get a line through my album art on my iTunes? it runs from the top left corner diagonally to the bottom right corner. It's on every album art picture...
    Very annoying - can anyone shed some light on why this is happening?
    Thanks!

    Not sure, but I think it has to do with graphics settings. Make sure hardware acceleration is turned all the way up.

  • Diagonal lines on coverflow album art

    I recently upgraded my laptop to iTunes to 7.0 and everything is fine except that when using the "coverflow" to go through my library, every piece of album art (and the generic music note for when there is no artwork) has a very thin diagonal line through it. It also occurs when I'm looking through movies on the iTunes store. I downloaded it on my desktop and did not have this problem. Is there a way to fix? I tried to re-install the update, but it didn't fix the problem. Thanks.

    Nope. Coverflow simulates flipping through your album collection, so there should only be one piece of artwork per unique album in Coverflow. If you're seeing ten pieces of artwork, iTunes thinks "Tom's Album" is actually ten albums for some reason — perhaps the tags don't quite match?
    If you move those 700 songs into a playlist, and restore their original album names, iTunes will see them as different albums, and you'll be able to see all the cover art in Cover Flow.

  • Touch list album song in album art view

    I have gotten all of my albums to be catagorized by album artist and album name, except for one. The album artist shows fine(The Eagles) the second line in the album art view is a song (Busy being fabulous) this is the third song on the first disk. The the next line is the ablum name (Long Road Out of Eden (Disk 1). The listing under the album art looks like this:
    The Eagles
    Busy being fabulous
    Long Road Out Of Eden (Disk 1)
    How do I get the song name out of there? Disk two of the same album shows perfectly fine with no song name in between. All of my other albums show fine also. When I select all of the songs from the album and go to Get Info the song name shows no where.

    See my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topics Use an album friendly view and One album, too many covers. In this case it sounds like you may need to enable the *Group Compilations* option and/or ensure the tracks are marked as Part of a Compilation.

  • No album art in off-line mode with spotify app version 1.0.0.3251

    The iOS developer team is aware of the problems with album art.
    Hopefully they will be fixed in the next update. Please be patient until then. I know it's annoying to wait so long.

    I just upgraded my iphone spotify app to version 1.0.0.3251.  With this version album art is not shown when listening in off-line mode.  Extremely dissappointing, hoping this is just a bug and will be corrected soon.  If not, how can i go back the the previous version of the app?  My Iphone is a 3GS running the latest iOS release for that model which is 6.1.6.
    [Mod edit - Dec. 8, 2014]
    Hello everyone.  Spotify 2.1.0 has been released to the App Store as of this morning. We believe this issue to be fixed in this latest version. Please post here to let us know if the problem persists.

  • Before I was able to transfer Cover Art from on-line sources to albums that iTunes didn't have (even when many of these were purchased thru them!) now I can't. If it still possible how do I do so?

    Before, I was able to transfer Album Cover Art from on-line sources to albums that iTunes didn't have (even tho several were purchased thru them!) now I can't. If it is still possible, how do I do so?

    Hey Two Wolves,
    Thanks for the question. Yes, you can still add your own Album Artwork to music in iTunes:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Add artwork to songs and other items
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12361
    Add artwork to music and video
    Do any of the following:
    - Add artwork to one item at a time:
              1. Select an item in your iTunes library and choose File > Get Info.
              2. Click Artwork and do one of the following:
                        - Click Add, select an image file, and click Open.
                        - Drag the art file to the artwork area.
              3. To add artwork to another item, click Next or Previous.
    - Add the same artwork to multiple items: Select the items, choose File > Get Info, click Info, and drag an image file to the Artwork area.
    - Retrieve album artwork for songs in your library from the iTunes Store: Control-click the songs and choose Get Album Artwork from the pop-up menu.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • CoverFlow album art has a black line through it?

    Anyone else have this problem? There's a thin black line running from the top left corner to the bottom right corner of all my album art. What's the deal? Can you somehow disable this?

    Good tip,
    Essentially the cover art uses the same items as playing video.
    This is a good article for generally troubleshooting, and includes updating drivers as a good step:

  • Creative Zen V+ Pink 2GB = Lines across scr

    Hi,
    Bought my girlfriend this player for her birthday.
    It crashed twice within the first 2 hours of using, so I thought "No problem, I'll check for a firmware update"
    Saw that ..0e was available (I'm in the UK) and installed it.
    Now there are 2 while lines running horizontally across the top of the screen.
    I know this isnt a pixel problem as I have changed the orientation of the player and the lines change orientation as well.
    This appears on all screens, standby, album art, photo, etc but doesn't appear when the screen is black (IE boot splash, etc)
    I bought this from PLAY.com and would rather it was a simple fix than sending the unit back as obviously it's a present I don't want her to be without it for that long!
    Thanks very much,
    T

    Not much else you can do - time to give customer service to see?if they have any suggestion or to get a replacement. There are a few threads about screen problems with the V line of Zens but no solutions other thatn replacing the unit.

  • Album art on i-tunes

    I have never used Apple products mainly because most of my vast music collection is on WMA files, but recently I have been considering getting the new ipod touch after having learnt that I-tunes will easily convert these.
    Problem:
    I installed i-tunes and put just a few of my music albums across, a mix of WMA and mp3 which transferred ok except for the album art. No album art has been transferred. A lot of my album art cannot be obtained from the sources on-line and quite a lot is my own design.
    At present I use WMP which allows me to paste my own art but I don't see this option in i-tunes.
    Can anyone offer some advice as if this is going to be an issue I will just have to abandon my choice of moving to Apple.

    Thanks for your reply.
    By doing what you say I am able to transfer any album art I created myself as these have been stored as images in my documents. So far so good.
    Now for the next bit. How do I get other art which I don't have stored, to transfer along with the music folder.
    Why doesn't i-tunes automatically include the artwork when I move a music album into i-tunes just as WMP does.

  • ITunes 10.0.7.21 shows a white box instead of artwork for most of my albums.  Many of these are albums I purchased on itunes.  Also when I hit get album art it deleted the artwork it already had form many albums and says it cant find it.

    OS is Windows 7
    I updated iTunes the other day and I decided to run "get album art" and instead of finding artwork, it made some of the artwork I already had show up as white squares, or disapear entirely.  The ones that are white squares show up under the get info, but not in itunes.  I did click in view for show al artwork, no luck.  Many of these albums I bought from iTunes.  The ones that the artwork was deleted some albums I can buy on iTunes, but already owned, and iTunes found the artwork before, but now cannot.  Some are albums that I spent many hours finding and adding the artwork myself.  I am very frustrated.  I cannot find the time to manually install artwork for thousands of songs.
    My work computer is Windows 8, so I really don't want to hear windows vs OSX argument.  My company won't switch to mac because you like it better, so I just need a solution to my issue.  iTunes it has always worked better for me on my work PC than my macBook, I dont know why, but I don't take two laptops with me when I travel so I have my iTunes library on the PC that has to come with me.  This is the first time an update has screwed things up for me.

    Well my first guess was wrong. The line that failed is the one that writes out the image to disk. I've not revisited the code for that script for ages, but it seems I did add in an extra test for missing files a little while later, then forgot to upload the change. I can reproduce the error message if I deliberately rename a file to confuse iTunes so that seems the most likely reason for your problem with the script. I've uploaded a new build of CreateFolderArt which should work better.
    See FindTracks for a tool to repair broken links. You should probably get that issue fixed first.
    I know what SPSS stands for but that is all I know about it.

  • Compilation artwork instead of original album art

    I've found the "Get Artwork" feature on the new iTunes (7) to be pathetic. I say this because while I was trying to get artwork for a song (in this case a song from a Kylie Minogue album titled "Kylie") instead of giving me the album from 1988 it gave me artwork for a compliation cd titled somewhere along the lines of "Kylie Minogue Greatest Hits". I've spent hours perfecting my 4,000 song library to the point that every detail of every song (year, track #, artist, etc.) is 100% accurate. The most important part of these songs for me is the album artwork. And I take extreme pride in having the original album art, not just a stupid compilation made just a few years back but the artwork like it was on the original when the music first came out. this is very significant in the case of original albums that are no longer in production. long story short i'm ****** that the "Get Artwork" feature is corrupting my files with incorrect artwork. there should be a feature that let's you decide if you find acceptable compilation artwork in place of the original if apple can't find it. i'd rather have no artwork then a wrong artwork or compilation artwork. Has anyone else had this type of problem before? please respond if so, it would be nice to know i'm not the only one.
    G4 iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Thanks Léonie. That's definitely an improvement over 2 pictures. I normally prefer the "white mosaic" option, as it uses less ink. I've never had this issue on older versions of iTunes. Any idea why it's printing two pictures and how I could delete one of them in order to utilize the "white mosaic" option? This is what it looks like, straight from iTunes when I hit print. I learned the hard way that if I  go in and delete the artwork from every indiviudual song and then hit print, I only get 1 image. But that seems very time consuming and illogical. And thanks again.

  • In Album View Same Album Art Shows On Mulitiple Albums

    Hi,
    When I view my music collection in "album" view in itunes 11 many of the albums I have are using the same cover art, ie the album art from a single album is being incorrectly repeated across multiple albums.
    This is not the case for all my albums as some have the correct album art showing.
    In cases of albums were the incorrect artowrk shows in "album" view if I then go into "song" view and select the first song in the album and go into "get info" and then "Artwork" I can see that the incorrect album cover is showing.  And this is the album art that is also used in the album view in itunes.
    However, if I look at the second, or sometimes the third song in the album in "get info" "artwork" the correct artwork is actually showing.
    So it looks like somehow itunes has taken one randon album cover and applied it to the first song of many of my albums, but left the correct artwork for the remaining songs of an album. 
    So the correct artwork is still "there" but it is only applied to the second and following songs of an album.
    I have hundreds of albums in tiunes and am hoping for a slick way to fix this.  As slick as Apples advertising.  I would prefer not to have to have to spend a weekend moving files around so simple is good.
    I have tried to delete all the cover art files and the get artwork again but same thing happens.
    May thanks in advance.

    Thanks for you help turingtest2.
    I have searced for that file and I get it twice in the same folder.  one of the files has a date stamp appended to it 2013-01-25 (todays date).
    I copied both files to another folder and moved the album artwork folder to the same folder.
    I then restarted itunes.  I did not have to request any artwork and the original artwork was still there (incorrectly).  It did not seem like anything was downloaded as itunes opened quick and when i selected album view it went to there without delay automatically with the artwork there.
    The album artwork folder was recreated in the itunes folder.
    I did a search for the *.itc files and it seems the old moved album artwork folder contained may more *.itc files than were recreated in "recreated" album artwork folder.  Not sure if that means anything.
    Hmmm.

  • Serious playback defect due to incorrect handling of album art

    There is a serious issue with either the iPod firmware or the iTunes software that is causing erratic performance, skips in music, and, in a few rare instances, complete freezing of the iPod.
    The issue either lies in how iTunes 'optimizes artwork' for the iPod, or in how the iPod reads and displays artwork from its database. Basically, the problem occurs when you select a song with album artwork and, for whatever reason, the iPod cannot handle the reading and displaying fast enough and it chokes momentarily, resulting in a very noticeable skip in the music playback.
    This isn't all artwork, mind you - I see the problem more frequently with larger size and higher complexity pieces of artwork. I'm not sure why size and content are a factor, as the iTunes software supposedly 'optimizes artwork' to whatever extent is necessary so the iPod can utilize it properly, but there is definitely a correlation between the music skipping and the quality of the file.
    For songs that also have lyrics, the iPod is brought completely to its knees. My 60GB 5G Video iPod consistently completely skips over songs with artwork and lyrics (if I select them, songs that are simply next in line on a playlist always play fine because there is more than enough time for them to be loaded into cache while the previous song plays).
    I wasn't immediately sure what was causing these skips (both in music, and the complete skipping of songs) but on a whim I told the iPod not to display artwork - everything began to immediately work perfectly. Every song I tested loaded fine and played without a single skip, even the previous problem tracks with lyrics. Telling the iPod to display artwork again brought the problem right back full force.
    I've restored the iPod numerous times, toggled display artwork on and off to force it to re-optimize near a dozen times now, and even this afternoon completely uninstalled iTunes, iPod software, and Quicktime from my computer, restarted, and reinstalled everything. I tried a friends computer the other day and same results every single time.
    The problem was actually lessened by getting rid of all non-album art pictures - a lot fewer songs skipped, but some still did. Restoring the iPod and only putting ~10 tracks (10 of the really bad ones) produced unusual results - they all played fine. But then loading more tracks brought the problem back again (I have a 40 GB collection). Put pictures back on it and forget about it. So this leads me to believe that the iPod can't properly handle a large artwork database - long load times would be fine, but there must be something in the iPod's software that forces it to continue on after a certain amount of time has passed, whether it is ready or not, and that causes these skips.
    This same exact problem plays out in the exact same way on a 60GB 4G Photo iPod - it's actually worse, probably because the newer 5G iPods have faster hardware that compensates a little better. I don't remember having these problems pre-iTunes 6 when I just had the 4G Photo iPod, but I never did a lot of testing. With the newest firmware and iTunes 6.0.2.23, both the 4G and 5G iPods are a mess.
    Just for reference, all tracks I've been testing with are ripped directly from commercial CDs I own using Exact Audio Copy and LAME 3.97 - they all play flawlessly on the computer, in iTunes and other pieces of audio software, and they all play fine on the iPod when it is set not to display album artwork. My album artwork is normally ~500 x 500 pixels, and in JPEG format, so ~50-80 KB. So it is not insanely detailed, and iTunes is supposed to create all the proper sizes for use on the iPod so the iPod doesn't have to convert anything on the fly.

    Good detective work....
    Thanks for the heads up.
    I just got a fifth gen Video 60g iPod and loaded my first tracts from my CD collection today.
    After enjoying album art from my iTunes downloads I was a bit dissappointed my CD album art did not transfer with the selected CD tracks...but after reading your post...now I'm not so sure I want to struggle trying to get album art to transfer with my CD tracks...

  • ZEN Vision M: Album art stuck. Can't chan

    I've come across a strange problem and was hoping someone could help. Any help is much appreciated.
    Before we start, Album Art = AA
    Ok, I have 2 albums named 'Greatest Hits', one by Sublime and one by The Offspring. I was adding AA using MediaMonkey and when I added the Sublime AA I hit 'Apply on all tracks on Album'. MediaMonkey accidentally added it to The Offspring's album as well since it has the same exact album name. So at this point The Offspring's album is showing the wrong AA, Sublime's cover.
    I didn't notice this until I already synced over to my Zen Vision M and it caught my eye. No big deal, right? Just replace and resync... easy. Well now no matter what I try it still has the wrong AA showing on my ZVM. I changed the AA with MediaMonkey and it correctly shows The Offspring's version but it still shows the Sublime version on my ZVM. I've checked with multiple programs and there's no Sublime AA in sight as it should be so it really appears to be a problem with my ZEN.
    I've tried renaming the whole album name and it finally gets rid of the Sublime AA in favor of the correct The Offspring AA but this does not help me since it's the wrong album name.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks - Kevin

    Dang. I just did it again with 3 and AC/DC's "Li've" albums. Any ideas?

  • Album art not showing on other Mac

    On my iMac all the album art was present in iTunes. After matching and uploading all the songs (afterwards I deleted them and redownloaded to get the 256kbps version) everything was still ok on my iMac. However on my MacBook Pro only several cd's display album art. I can't really seem to find out why some have and why some don't have the album art, it seems to be random. On my iPhone 4 most of the album art is showing, with just a few exceptions. For this I also have no explanation.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Kind regards,
    Ken Hermans - Belgium

    Make sure that in iTunes on the music tab for the ipod you have a checkmark in the box saying "Show Album Artwork on Ipod" or something along those lines. If it is not checked, do so and click apply. If it is checked then uncheck it and click apply. Then recheck it and click apply. This should get the artwork on the ipod. It may take awhile depending on how many tracks you have that have artwork.
