Manual cover art

I'm having some trouble with the TV Live on fetching cover art . Is there a way to manually place cover art in my media directories so that the TV Live will display them. I'm assuming I could place a picture file with the same name as the media file except of the file extension but that's only a guess.

  • Manually adding cover art

    Hi there.
    Don't know if anyone can help me, but I've got some of my own productions I have converted to MP3 and wanted to add to my iTunes. I've done most of them with no problems, but for some reason the version of iTunes I'm running (10.0.1.22) won't allow me to manually add cover art through the "get info" option in the right click dropdown menu.
    Anyone know what I'm missing here?!!!
    Thanks!

    what did he answer?

  • Problems concerning sonata playlists and freevo cover art

    Hi!
    I'm setting up a media center PC and I'm having some problems with the playlists created by sonata. Another problem I have is not getting freevo to download cover art.
    First: When ever I try to make a playlist through the "Current" tab in Sonata it creates a m3u file with every song that's listed in the current window. I'm used to being able to pick one or a couple of songs and then adding it a specified playlist. Is this impossible in sonata? And if I try to play the m3u file created (the one with every song listed) through freevo I get a message that the directory is empty. What am I doing wrong??
    Second: I'm having big problems getting freevo to download cover art to my music. I can download info on movies from imdb, but info for the music doesn't work. I store the cover art downloaded by sonata in the different album folders and these covers show up in freevo. But if I have to play every new song i download first in sonata to get the cover art working in freevo I'll go crazy. It's supposed to work the same way in freevo as in sonata isn't it???
    It also seems that mplayer can't play m3u files. Using the mentioned sonata made m3u file in mplayer does nothing. Mplayer starts but nothing happens.
    My goal is to be able to make playlists through sonata and then play these lists using freevo. I don't want to get up from the couch. 
    Here's my local_conf.py:

    # E.g.: when you want a alsa as mplayer audio out, just put in local_conf.py:
    # | MPLAYER_AO_DEV = 'alsa9'
    # The vertical line indicates code.
    # This is no normal config file, it's Python code. Because of that, you
    # need to follow some rules to avoid crashes. The examples should explain

    It's clearly not impossible, just different than you expect. Create your playlist as you want it to appear in the Current tab (meaning don't dump every single song from your library in there, just the ones you want) and then save the playlist.

  • Album Cover art

    I like the idea of being able to browse using cover art but it is only a useful feature if you can get most cover art . There are many albums for which iTunes has album cover art, albums which I own original copies of, for which I can't get album art.
    Examples: Sigur Ros /Saeglour, T-Bone Burnett /True False Identity, Paul Simon/ Surprise, Graceland, all of Van Morrison's albums, most Dylan and Neil Young albums and many others.
    Apple put this feature on I Tunes, but many album covers which you show on the Itunes store website don't download. I have both checked "automatically download missing album artwork" in preferences and requested Get album artwork in the Advanced Tab . If I control click on the album artwork on iTunes store, I can't even copy the image to paste it in manually. Also, when I request album art I often get an "unable to download certain artwork " message with no further explanation. If I'm supposed to buy the album art I'd like to know how and how much.
    What's up?

    The spelling was ok since almost all were entered using gracenote. Anyway it suddenly started working. without changing anything I could tell I asked again to get album artwork from the Advanced tab and it started downloading 400 album covers. whatever. So my problem wasn't answered but it is solved. thanks for the google image search idea. So I guess I'll mark it answered.

  • New iPod Touch 4g music/cover art problems.

    I just got my new iPod Touch on Monday and I was syncing music onto it (manually) today and all of a sudden, the cover art on most of my albums/songs were erased. Should I get a new iPod or is there any way to fix it? I really don't want to restore it already when I can just go get a new one if I'll have problems with this one in the future. Also, on my 2g iPod Touch, I could manually add lyrics, cover art, and other things within the iPod music list itself. Now, the cover art doesn't show up when I edit from there. Any suggestions as to what's going on and what I should do?

    i hope i'm not late but AFTER SO LONG OF SEARCHING EVERYWHERE ( i had this problem)  i myself tried an experiment
    and i finally found what works
    you're not alone in this LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ****** PROBLEM  because of iOS 5
    anyways here is what you have to do (  it's kind of hard to understand so i hope you do )
    go to your device ( in itunes) and mark off the sync music tab then click apply or sync ( this will wipe out all of your music)
    then you click the box again & you click sync ( this will put the  music back into your ipod )
    NOW we're not done yet
    quickly go to music ( in your itunes library) and just go around each song , like just clicking each song ( even twice if u want) and this will make the album covers appear onyour ipod ( u have to hurry before it stops syncing)
    so a faster way to do it is to just go to music in your library and the arrows ( in your computer's keyboard)
    ya know the arrows that are like up & down, left & right
    well.. quickly go over each album cover or song cover with the left and right arrows
    and if some of the covers don't go tru just click enter as if you were going to listen to them
    I REALLY HOPE THIS HELPS BECAUSE IT HELPED ME and i know how annoying this is and i want people to do this because it really works
    best of luck .xx

  • IPod Cover Art Question

    I'm curious about some of the album cover art in my iPhone's iPod.
    I've added a couple album covers manually that iTunes doesn't have. They look great in the Albums screen of the iPod in Cover Flow. However, when I go to play these albums, they don't show up on the Now Playing screen; I'm stuck with the generic iTunes image.
    Anyone know why this is and how (if possible) to fix it? Does it occur with the iPhone 3G too?
    Steven

    yes it does still show up and it looks ridiculous taking up about 2/3 of the screen like that. not only that but in the new version of iTunes, it doesn't even give you the option to turn off album covers anymore, it's like mandatory now that they show up if there is a cover. that is so dumb, I don't know why they took away that option. extremely disappointing. I'm with you on the tag info, that was one of the reasons I upgraded because I used to have the 60Photo with the smaller screen.

  • The cover art is missing on my playlists songs, but not for songs in the cloud on my iphone 5s

    Ever since I updated to iOS 8, not 8.0.2 (still haven't done that update), the artwork on my music is missing for any songs that are on my phone and in my playlists. My music that is stored in the cloud still has its cover art. All of the songs still play, but I really want the artwork back.

    I am not sure how many of you had to re-os, power off multiple times, or restore. So, try these and hit 'like'  and/or 'This solved my question' or 'This helped me', if it works as explained below.
    What you do on the iTunes is what appears on iPhone. Artwork missing in iPhone is unlikely, if iTunes on PC has them. I am going to be very simple in writing, for everyone to understand as clear as possible. Follow the below steps -
    1. Go to iTunes (On PC). Right Click and select 'Get Info'.
    2. If any error message gets displayed there, try to play it once or locate that song manually, if you have recently changed the location.
    3. Select 'Artwork' tab and ensure the artwork is still there.
    4. (Here is the funny part) - Go to 'Info' tab (the tab between 'Summary' and 'Video')
    5. Ensure for any particular song, the following values are always captured -
    a) Name -
    b) Artist -
    c) Album - (Most of us tend to delete this album data, to avoid seeing duplicate of the name or artist)
        Eg. On my iTunes (PC), a song is categorized -
    a) Name - Bad Day (Ladies and Gents - I did not purposely select this song )
    b) Artist - Daniel Powter
    c) Album - Bad Day
    Try the above simple step and see if it works. If not, reply back to me and mention the exact error message. Can try to help.

  • Apple TV defaults to "Movies" pane displaying inappropriate cover art

    Each time the Apple TV sleeps, the default Apple TV display after exiting a screen mirroring (or Air Play) session is the "Movies" section.  Because the movies section shows a handful of recent movies with their cover art, we are finding a lot of inappropriate images flashing on the screen.  Because our work takes place in education, there are whole classrooms full of students, paretns, and teachers that are exposed to inappropriate images that inculde suggestive images and titles.
    My company does one-to-one technology deployments in schools.  We deploy only Apple products and each classroom is equipped with an ATV for screen mirroring purposes.  I continuously have to show my teachers how to move the selection box from the "movies" menu icon to the "Settings" menu icon which displays a clean Logo of the ATV rather than a list of recent movies.
    Does anyone know of a setting or a way to make the ATV default to the settings pane rather than movies without manually having to select a different option?
    Thanks!

    We use Apple TV at our Christian School and for Children's Church. Is there any way to have something else show up?

  • ITunes is deleting my album cover art + songs -- please help!

    Hello:
    I am running Windows 7 and iTunes v. 9.2.0.61. Just recently, from Grid view, iTunes seems to be deleting cover art as well as songs. It seems to be chance when it happens, but when it does happen, it is always this way:
    - From Grid view (album thumbnails), I double click on an album thumbnail, and the album art image disappears. I CANNOT re-add the art to that particular album after that, either, even manually.
    - The album folder opens up after the double-click, and then when I double click a song to play it, it starts playing, but then I notice it has disappeared from the tracklist. I cannot select it again -- it is GONE. I checked to see if in fact the song is deleted not only from iTunes, but from my C: drive storage location, and it is GONE. DELETED for GOOD.
    What is going on here? This is very frustrating, and I wonder if anyone else has experienced the same thing. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

    Nobody can help???? Please -- this is a VERY BAD glitch/bug/whatever you want to call it...it is permanently deleting my music!

  • FetchArt doesn't fetch full-size cover art

    Amazon sometimes has several user-submitted cover art images, and apparently FetchArt is grabbing the first available. But this image is not always full size. I'm using FetchArt 1.1.1 (I can't get the updated FetchArt to install - puts a red arrow on all my drives).
    I'd like to get the full-size image (manually drag n drop from Amazon is fine), but I can't seem to get rid of the small image FetchArt originally got for me.
    I've thrown the original in the Trash, and manually gone to get the image I want, but the original small image keeps popping up as the default for the song/album in question. Even when I just go through the songs and use the arrow at the top of the image window to select the preferred image, things still default back to the small size image.
    Anyone know how I get rid of the small image, and get iTunes to default to the larger, preferred image?
    Thanks

  • Cover art lost in Finder

    Since installing iTunes 9.0.2, I have no cover art in Music/iTunes in Finder.
    The cover art exists in iTunes but not in Finder, there I get a generic iTunes folder with the music note.
    Now, if I choose a tune in iTunes and choose "Show in Finder" a finder window comes up and all the songs in that folder populate with the correct icons in the Finder window. But once I close it and open a new Finder window, they're gone again?

    Some of the cover art I added separately because it's from CD's. Others, I've used the feature.
    it was just an idea. i can't recreate the problem - all my artwork displays correctly but i have always embedded artwork manually as a rule.
    all i can offer @ this time is that you're not alone with this:

  • Cover art not visible

    On the new iTunes music library, there is supposed to be cover art shown for every album. But it's not there. How do I change that?

    Oops Im sorry I slightly misread your first post, I thought you said "there is supposed to be cover FLIP art shown for every album. But it's not there"
    I read a word you didn't type and thought you was talking about the "Cover flip" feratuer in iTUnes not working
    I see now your talking about cover artwork not being downloaded and added to the songs. iTUnes only has artwork for songs it has in its store. Also the tags on the song have to be EXACT for the most part. FOr example....
    I had the album "Missy Elliott - So Addictive" and it would not find the artwork. I knew they had to have her album in the store so I manually looked in the itunes store for her album. This is now they had it listed
    Artist: Missy Elliott
    Album: Miss E...So Addictive (Note the 3 dots between E and So)
    Soon as I changed the album name to that (With the 3 dots) BOOM artwork came right up

  • Front Row, Shared Libraries and Cover Art.

    I have my Macbook connected to my audio system and I share files between my Macbook and iMac. When playing files that are in the shared library (the files located on my iMac), most of the time the cover art doesn't show. Why is that?
    I have noticed that the files where the Covert Art doesn't show up are files where the art was obtained through the iTunes store. The files where I have manually found the cover art work fine.

    iTunes 7 does not embed artwork that it downloads, it stores it seperately.
    You can embed it by applying it through the Get Info window. To do this:
    1. Ctrl-click on the picture in the lower left and select copy.
    2. Open preview and hit command-n to create a new file from the clipboard.
    3. Save the file to the desktop.
    4. Select all of the tracks on the album, ctrl-click on one and select "Get Info".
    5. Drag the picture from the desktop onto the artwork box.
    You can also use a third party tool such as Curator or CoverScout.

  • Cover art is erroneous for some songs, please advise?

    I have a few songs, (not many, but I haven't counted) out of my small collection of 4200 ot songs with the wrong album cover art.  From a totally different album.. by a different band.. Has anyone else experienced this problem?.. What is the solution?.. Can I manually delete individual song artwork renderings when the album is incorrect?

    You can
    double-click the album so that all the tracks are listed
    then highlight a track with the correct artwork
    right-click the now-playing window to copy the artwork
    highlight the track with the incorrect artwork
    right-click the now-playing window and
    paste the correct artwork in.

  • Adding album cover art

    So, I have an album with no cover art (and it's not a common record so iTunes can't find it when using the Get Album Artwork feature), so I have to add it manually.
    I select all the songs and klick "View info"->"Album artwork"
    I drag and drop my image from Finder and it's seems to be added.
    Burt as soon as I click OK and I'm back out at the album again it seems lika the images wasn't added. And when I go in to "View info"->"Album artwork" again nothing is there.
    I have the lastest iTunes update.
    Can anyone help?

    Good Afternoon theplague,
    Thanks for the question.  It seems like you are following the steps in the article below.  I would suggest checking the image file that you want to use for the album artwork to make sure it is in one of the formats needed.  Also, check to make sure the music isn't in a WAV format.
    Also, try a different image just to make sure the issue isn't with the image.
    The second thing I would suggest is to try adding the image to one song in the album instead of all of the songs initially.
    Quit the iTunes application, and then relaunch it.  Is the artwork still intact?
    iTunes 12 for Mac: Add artwork to songs and other items
    https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19619?locale=en_US
    You can add many types of still image files, including JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and Photoshop. You must convert WAVfiles to another format before you can add artwork to them.
    Add artwork to music and video
    Do any of the following:
    Add artwork to one item at a time:
    Select an item in your iTunes library and choose File > Get Info.
    Click Artwork and do one of the following:
    Click Add Artwork, select an image file, and click Open.
    Drag the art file to the artwork area.
    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 from the iTunes Store for songs in your library: Control-click the songs and choose Get Album Artwork.
