Map itunes album cover cache folder

i have a small SSD hard drive as my main drive and my music is on another hard drive is there a way i can map it on the other drive? because it is filling up my ssd drive. maybe a registry redirect or something??
i try to go in to itunes\Edit\Preferences\Advanced and change itunes media folder location but it still puts the album cover cache folder in c drive

It's a cache of the artwork.
It's on the file system, not in memory.
You don't have any options over it's size.
I think what you're asking for is a more effective cache. Much as I'm now commited to iTunes (it runs my iPod and I'm addicted to podcasts) Windows Media Player does a much better job of handling artwork. In WMP the art is rendered on the off-screen sections of the page so that it is immediately visible as you scroll up & down. In iTunes it appears to be fetched as an afterthought.

What does Music iTunes Album Artwork Cache do?

What does this Cache folder hold, and what is it used for?
The reason I ask is I get a very juddery scroll when perusing my music by album cover until all the albums have loaded into memory and then it goes smooth.
If I could increase the cache size that iTunes held of my cover artwork this might fix it...?

IPhone 4S, iOS 8.2 update, iTunes album cover art missing

Hello,
I just updated my 64GB iPhone 4s to the new iOS 8.2, after reading online that it addressed issues with previous iOS 8 updates.
Everything on the phone seems to work fine as far as I've found, but the album cover art for almost every album isn't coming over.
I know this may sound insignificant, but it is the fastest way to look up music, especially when on the go.
I have all my album artwork included on iTunes on my laptop. Previous to this update, all album covers came over to iPhone.
I just did the update to 8.2 last night (March 9, 2015), and synced my iPhone with my laptop to update my music catalog.
First time it didn't bring the artwork over, so I re-synced and tried again. Our of the 474 albums currently on the devise, album artwork came over on 58 albums.
Has anyone else identified this issue? If so, were you able to find a solution?
Thank you.

This has happened about 2 other times since updating to iOS 8.3. I have an iPhone 6 Plus (128 GB). I am able to retrieve the album artwork by removing the music from the device and then syncing with iTunes again. This is a hassle, though, as I have 12,000+ songs that I sync to the device. Album artwork hangs around for about 2 weeks and then mysteriously vanishes again. So I have finally given in and will wait until the next software update and then hope for the best with another remove/sync cycle after the update has been applied.
Bush league, Apple. Bush league.

Itunes Album Cover Finder Programs

Hello,
I am wondering if anybody has used coverflow(http://www.steelskies.com/coverflow/HomePage.html) and if it can be used on the "video" Ipod??? Will this program be intergrated in the next version of Itunes??? What do you think of "Album Cover Finder." I want to have covers for all my CDs I loaded on my computer, but I don't want to spend $9.00 on a program that is hard to use or a pain. Anybody try it out?
Ozzie

I use iTunes Catalog, which is much more than a cover finder. It will import covers into iTunes. Album covers are also transferred to your iPod if you request iTunes to do so.

How can I put add text to an iTunes Album cover?

How can I add text to an i Tunes album pohoto, both front and back?

Preview Help says I can add text to an image by clicking Annotate and then Text, but I can't get anything to work.
Select the menu option Tools -> Annotate -> Add Text. The cursor should change to a "cross-hair". Use that to draw a rectangle, then type.

I like sharing my photos as a screen saver, but I do NOT want album cover artwork.

I like sharing my photos as a screen saver on Apple TV Generation 2. but I do NOT want album cover artwork.
to be mixed in with photos.
Is this possible?

I understand, under Advanced, I can choose Albums to share. Then I check Share Photos From: iPhoto.
Then Select Blbums and Events.
I only have one album selected with 127 photos that I took that I would like to use as a screen saver.
However, it uses these 127 photos PLUS all the album artwork as well. This is what I do NOT want. Where do I tell it NOT to share Album artwork as in iTune album cover artwork.

How do I get rid of artwork that is automatically put in from itunes.. it is not the album cover...which I used to have. How it disappeared I have no idea???

Some of my artwork (album covers) have disappeared and been replaced by some funky designs??? I don't know what I clicked on to make this happen but they seem to be disappearing more and more? I copied the artwork from my other computer and put them in a folder to replace them. When I click on the far rt. hand icon at the bottom left corner of the screen where it pops up and lets you put custom artwork etc in if you choose I can paste the album cover there but it doesn't lock it in or replace it over in my album nor in my cover flow?? Hope that makes sense!
Please help

This is not an itunes question at all.
Try posting in a more appropriate forum.

Can one share album cover art between WMP and iTunes?

I am regularly using Windows Media Player as well as iTunes (the latter mainly to fill my iPod). All my albums (well-organized in subdirectories) contain a file "folder.jpg" (which is the standard unser windows) containing the album's cover art.
iTunes apparently goes off and tries to download the cover art from some server and then stores it in its own setup under .../My Music/iTunes/Album Artwork/..., but obviously isn't very good at that, since it finds only maybe 20% of the covers, the rest remains empty. Is there a way to tell iTunes to pick up the cover art from those folder.jpg files?
Ideal would of course be, if the two could share these files (i.e. pointing to the same file (e.g. using NTFS hard-links). Is that possible? Does anyone know a tool or script that does that automagically?
Michael

{quote}Is there a way to tell iTunes to pick up the cover art from those folder.jpg files?{quote}
No. You can work around this by using another program like Mp3tag to embed the artwork from folder.jpg into the ID3 tag. Despite its "mp3" name, Mp3tag will also work on AAC files.
You cannot use hard links because the iTunes artwork files are not simply picture files. The pictures are embedded in some other (undocumented of course) ITC format (I say ITC format because that is the file extension -- I have no idea what it means). Also, you would have to figure out the folder structure.
Another option is to use an external program to "trick" itunes into downloading the artwork from your own server. See these threads/posts:

I have a tiny problem that is driving me mad. When I am playing an album in iTunes using cover flow view (with the playlist beneath the artwork picture) the picture is exactly above the album title. All is symmetrical. When I switch to full screen display, the artwork moves a couple of inches to the left and the display is therefore asymmetrical. Why and how do I correct it? It would drive you mad to.
Thanks for any help,
Graham

I was having the same problem, but tried the "Top Button + Home Button" reset and that did work for me. My unofficial guess is that perhaps RAM caches get filled through daily use of various apps leaving no memory for cover flow. Resetting the phone on the phone itself seems to reset that RAM. I can't say it's a cure-all, but it solved my issue. Hope this helps.

How do I revert back to previous (before 11) itunes. Someone nicked my Album Cover flow, without asking

how do I revert back to previous (before 11) itunes.
Someone nicked my Album Cover flow, without asking. I have snow leopard. I was happy. Just before Christmas as if I havent got enough to do Thank You. I've given Apple loads of money this year--presents and all, the least they could do is tell me, they're going to take stuff off of My computer that I enjoy,/ find very useful/ and worked hard to update all my album covers and have a gallery of my own artwork for my mixes--it was beautiful. When I went to add some more, the facility had been taken away from me. Was so dissapointed. They send me emails all the time to buy the latest must have products. I even did a questionair to help them. They really care for their customers--right. So why couldnt they warn me about this update, its only polite.
If I bought a warm coat some years ago, then the manufatures came round without my knowledge and cut off the left arm, and later told me, their reserch says that people dont use the left arm so much so they have to get rid of it. 1. I think that would be illegal. 2. its impolite not to ask if they could do it. 3. why not give me an options to keep it, seeing as i bought it. 4. its ludicrous.
I trusted Apple-but then -they took my YouTube off my ipad. I cant update to newer software as I will lose some expensive programms (Im not made of money). I also have 2 oldish defunct but fully working laser printers (if they were compatible with new software).
Im not a techky-I just use the stuff, I do art and music and Cover Flow was equipement I used.

Can I merge or combine 2 "album artwork" folders? I have saved music onto an external server from 2 computers but the artwork that I have manually imported remains in the default folder in the music/itunes/album artwork folder on the respective PCs. Thx

Can I merge or combine 2 "album artwork" folders? I have saved music onto an external server from 2 computers but the artwork that I have manually imported remains in the default folder in the music/itunes/"album artwork" folder on their respective PCs.
i.e. artwork uploaded on one PC won't apppear on the other PC because it is saved locally...
I'm confident that i won't beable to just merge the 2 because thy'll have the same folder names.
On the same note: can I have iTunes create these files on the external server/Hard drive also so that either computer can use them at the same time?
(like I have my library- can the other files be saved remotely)
Thx

i'm using iTunes 10 BTW

ITunes Missing Album Cover / Artwork Search feature (future update)

Hi,
I would like to request a future iTunes search function. I know that iTunes allows you to save a Notifications report after you "Get Album Artwork" feature for missing covers or issues where it could not find Album covers. However, can you add a function where you can list all the tracks/albums where iTunes could not find the album cover within iTunes, almost similar to the view, Show Duplicate Items function. It would be great to list all the songs without covers within iTunes itself, so that one can work on fixing all the tracks with issues.
Thanks
p.s. still waiting on 2-way sync feature request, its been years now since i first requested. For example, if you create an on the fly playlist on your iOS device that iTunes imports the playlist and merges any metadata updates, instead of creating duplicate playlists, etc.
