Mix CDs and Album Art

Does anybody know how I can get a Mix CD onto my iPod (5th Gen) so there is no gap between the tunes, as it is on the CD, but I can still skip between the tracks so it is not just one large file?
And also, how do I get album art for the CDs which I have put onto iTunes?

1. Yo can't
2. You find the album art, ex in Google pictures, and copy and paste it. Highlight the songs from the same album in iTunes and paste the picture in the bottom left hand corner in iTunes
Regards,
Trond

I am running iTunes on an IBM comp system Win XP with a 70gb hard disk. I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder to an external hard disk. How do I get the apps to go their?

I am running iTunes on an IBM compatible system running Windows XP with a relatively small hard disk (70gb). I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches, multiple IPOD Nanos, etc. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder through Edit, Prferences, Advances, iTunes Media Folder to an external hard disk. The new music downloads and purchases go there but the apps and other items do not. How do I get the apps and other iTunes software and downloads to go to the external hard disk

There is no built in function to make this happen.
Your options are:
Upgrade the existing hard drive.
Try creating a link for the app folder on the external drive... this may or may not work.
Realistically, a larger hard drive is a better solution, then use the external drive for keeping a backup of the ENTIRE iTunes folder and any other personal data on the system.

Question on Lost Tags and Album Art

O.K., I mentioned in another thread that my iTunes library suddenly vanished, but I have been able to “Add file to library” to get everything back in there. Unfortunately, a lot of my album art and my tagging went back to the way it was before I modified it. If I open iTunes again and find nothing there (seems unfortunately to be common) and have to add the folder back in, is there anyway to do that with all the tags and album art in tact?

Hi Ken,
If this is what I think you are referring to Ken, then don't worry, all is not lost.
This has happened to me once or twice in the past when either installing a new version of iTunes or when I have re-linked my iPod to my other computer.
One thing to check first though:
If you open iTunes and look in your Library and select any track you like (you dont kneed to play it) and make sure that you have the 'Show or Hide Song Artwork' tab at the bottom left of iTunes (its the fourth one in) selected, can you see the Artwork for your track?
I know you are concerned about the artwork on your iPod, but this is important, if it is showing thats great. If not, it might just be switched off. If you look at the grey bar that makes the top of the Artwork box that views the image, does it say 'Selected Song' or 'Now Playing'? If it is the latter, then with your mouse just click on it and your Artwork for that track should appear.
Makes sure this is the case for a few others, and if so, your artwork is not lost and can easily be put back on to your iPod.
Now Make sure your iPod is connected and showing in the Sources list on the right of iTunes.
Now go into the iPod options menu by going to the Edit menu and selecting the bottom option 'Preferences' and then opening the iPod tab. You will see an option to show your artwork on your iPod. Select this then click OK out of the Preferences and do an update.
iTunes will then say its updating your iPod, and when it has confirmed that your music is updated, it will then import all your artwork back into your iPod and it should then be present when you use your iPod.
Depending how many tracks you have on your iPod and in iTunes, this might take quite some time. For me last time without about 4 tracks on an AMD Athlone this took about 40 minutes.
I hope this is of help.

Cover Flow Mix Up and Album Song Mix Up Question

I just got an 80gb ipod and have all my songs on it now. i am just about finished with getting all of the album covers that i didnt have into my itunes now. i didnt get any of the album covers from itunes, i just did a search for all of em in google.
anyways, for some reason i have one song from the red hot chili peppers greatest hits album (soul to squeeze) and if you click on get info and then click on artwork the correct cover is there but in the cover flow and album view its zz tops greatest hits cover and underneath it reads greatest hits and then underneath that its Various Artists. My Queen greatest hits album has the same zz top cover and reads the same as well, lol. i cant figure out how to fix this.
one more thing before i go guys, i have a couple of albums where the songs are not together but the artist and album names are the same, ive retyped the artists name and album to see if i somehow made a mistake the first time but they are still seperate, what the heck else can i do. its annoying have an album where the songs are not together?
once i fix these problems am i going to have to resynch my ipod again, i have 6thousand plus songs, that took forever the first time i did that. im hopin i can just plug the ipod into itunes and it will just fix what is different??
thanks, guys
Message was edited by: gconley

nope, the songs are not mixed up at all. like i said, its just the album art and the artist name underneath the album which reads "various artists". my queen greatest hits and my red hot chili peppers greatest hits say the same thing and both have my zz top greatest hits album cover lol.
now if you click get info on the album the artwork is the correct artwork which blows my mind.
somebody please helps, its so annoying.
thanks
one more thing, do i have to resync my whole ipod again just to get the album artwork on there or is there a faster way than having to resync 6thousand plus songs?? ive actually never resync so maybe it will just add stuff thats different instead of just putting everything back on??

Itunes and album art

I recently started importing my cds to itunes. Then I used the 'Get Album Artwork'. it worked fine for all accept one album that it separated into 4 different albums with the same album artwork and 4 different album titles. Is there any easy, quick way to combine all the songs back into the appropriate album. Or do I have to delete the albums, then import the album again and manually add the album art?
Thanks, Denise

When you say four different album titles, do you literally mean that each track has a different title...or just that the songs aren't grouped together?
If you're having trouble getting album tracks to group together, have a look at this document:

Wave Files and Album Art

Can you add album art to .wav files?

Can you add album art to .wav files?
From the point of view of iTunes the answer is no, you cannot add Album Art to WAV files.
In terms of adding meta tags to WAV files, one or two programs use RIFF chunks to store meta tags in WAV files, this is actually how Apple do it for AIFF files. However iTunes does not support this for WAV files, and Windows Media Player does not support reading the tags in AIFF files.
If you are looking for a lossless music format that can be shared between iTunes and Windows Media Player then I have been there, got the T-Shirt, etc.
A long time ago in a Galaxy far, far away... before I ripped all my CDs to iTunes, I considered what format to use that would be lossless and shareable amongst everything I was interested in.
That is, what is the one true lossless format (to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them...).
Initially I thought WAV, as it could be played by iTunes, iPod, and of course Windows Media Player, but I instantly discovered iTunes could not add artwork to WAV files. I then checked and confirmed Windows Media Player can as standard play AIFF files. However while it can play them, because it cannot read the meta tags in AIFF files, it will not let you add them to the Window Media Player library. At that time, I did not seriously think it would be possible to use Apple Lossless files in Windows Media Player, but I checked and I was right, it was not possible and it was believed at that time that it would never be possible since Apple Lossless is a proprietary format.
I did initially settle on using AAC instead (a lossey format) which can be played and used (with additional software) with Windows Media Player.
However I never give up and continued on my quest for the holy grail of one lossless format to rule them all.
FLAC and OGG can sort of be used in iTunes for Mac, but not on iPod, so they were ruled out. WMA lossless was instantly ruled out because while it might be possible to import in to iTunes (for Windows), it cannot be used in iTunes (meaning you would have two copies of each track), and it also cannot be used on the iPod.
I then used some lateral thinking, while there is no Apple Lossless solution for Windows Media Player, is there a solution that runs on Windows and maybe could be adapted to use with Windows Media Player? I found solutions for use with Foobar 2000, WinAmp, and dbPowerAmp, but none of these would work with Windows Media Player. I then found mention of the BASS software library (for programmers to use to write music programs) which is available for both Mac and Windows. See http://www.un4seen.com/ I also found that a module had been written for use with BASS to play Apple Lossless. However BASS by itself still would not work as a directshow filter for use with Windows Media Player. I then found mention of someone taking BASS, and an MP3 module, and packaging it as a directshow filter for use with WMP. Ah, hah! I thought, all we need is to do the same thing but with the Apple Lossless module. I was able to get in-touch with the programmer who had done that and persuade him to do the same thing with the Apple Lossless module which was written by MaresWEB and now available as open-source code here http://www.maresweb.de/projects/bass/alac.php
Jackpot, I can now play Apple Lossless in iTunes, iPod, Roku Soundbridge, Sonos ZonePlayer, SlimDevices Squeezebox, Apple TV, iPhone, Windows Media Player, Microsoft Media Center 2005, etc. etc. etc.
The one true lossless format is therefore the one you would least expect, it is Apple Lossless!
The Apple Lossless directshow filter which Milenko Mitrovic packaged together is available from his website http://www.dsp-worx.de see the January 8th 2007 entry.
You will also need a plugin for Windows Media Player to let it read MPEG4 meta tags, this plugin would also be used for AAC files as they use the same MPEG4 file format and tags. There are two available (both free) either this one http://wmptagext.sourceforge.net/ or this one http://www.softpointer.com/WMPTagSupport.htm
iTunes can of course add album artwork to Apple Lossless tracks (including as embedded art), it is possible (with various steps) to add Apple Lossless tracks to Windows Media Player, and have it play them and manage them in its library, and it is possible to use folder.jpg files with Windows Media Player for its copies of the artwork.

Sync and album art problems with iPhone 3G

The other day my iPhone was sitting in the cradle syncing and I noticed iTunes (8.02) was deleting the apps from the phone. I cancelled that sync and in iTunes I saw that the "Sync Applications" checkbox was unchecked, but I hadn't unchecked it. I then rechecked the box and synced my apps back onto the phone.
Today I added some songs to a playlist and synced, but the sync time seemed suspiciously short. When I checked iTunes I saw that all of my sync content boxes were unchecked...Sync Music, Sync Videos, etc. When I check one of the boxes iTunes threatens to delete all the content presently on my phone and replace it with content from the library....which is of course the same content except for the few songs I copied into one playlist. I don't really want to sit around and wait until this stupid phone replaces 15gb of content with the same 15gb of content. Sometimes this thing acts like such a piece of junk.
Perhaps this is related, but some weeks ago I purchased a Colbie Caillat album from the ITMS. Whenever I play a song from this purchase on my iPhone it shows the album art for an Usher album I already had in my library. If I play the same song on one of my iPods, the album art is correct. Apparently some sort of corruption is afoot in either iTunes, the iPhone or both. Is there some way to get iTunes and the iPhone on the same page without having to wipe and restore this stupid phone? Thanks.

I bit the bullet and checked all the boxes and synced, and the phone did not go through with the threat to erase all my content. It just synced the one changed playlist instead. False alarm. However, the album art issue remains.

2G Ipod Touch picture and album art issues

I have a 2nd Generation 8GB Touch with 4.0.2 installed. Just recently I've noticed a couple of issues with it.
When I look at the photos stored, in the thumbnail view some of the photos are just a black box, but when I view the pics, they show normally.
When I am looking at the album art, a couple of the albums have wrong artwork showing, even though in iTunes it has the correct artwork showing there. For example one album has the artwork for a podcast that I no longer have synced to the iPod. If I browse to right to look at the next album, in the background where you see the album covers of the other albums, it shows the right artwork. Another album just has artwork for another podcast, but when I see it behind another album, it is showing the artwork for the podcast that I first mentioned earlier.
Has anybody else seen this or something like it and know how to resolve it?

I called Apple and was told that I needed to restore the iPod. The problem is that I had purchased and installed the January upgrade on my iMac and not my MacBook.
I restored the iPod on the iMac and then synced to the MacBook.
Problem solved!

IPod Will Not Display In My Compuater unless updating and album art.

Okay, when I plug my Ipod into my computer now it doesnt seem to immediatly recognise it. It takes a few minutes. When it does finally catch my IPod is not adding with any of my new songs the album art with it. It was also saying that ITunes Artwork file temp 2 was corrupt or something. I just want to get this problem solved before my 3 months are up cause its coming in two weeks.

Have you Restored it?
just want to get this problem solved before my 3 months are up cause its coming in two weeks.
The iPod comes with a one year warranty.
You get one telephone support issue in the 90 days (meaning you ca call that one issue within the 90 days) and get it solved.
You have one year in which to have it repaired/replaced under waranty.
You can post here forever.

I recently moved my itunes library. Itunes deleted a lot of artist and album info and album art. Now it won't let me edit the info to correct it. Any advice on to correct this?

I recently bought a new Asus laptop and moved my itunes to it. All of my files are stored on an external hard drive. In the process of importing my files into itunes on the new laptop, some artist and album info has been deleted. A lot of album art is missing as well. I attempted to correct the missing info, but now itunes won't let me edit any track, artist or album info. Any idea what the problem is and how I can fix it? Thanks.

Cover flow and Album Art Peculiarities

Ordinarily when I import an album into iTunes, all the songs on the CD are consolidated under a single album cover reducing the number of instances of art in Cover flow. As iTunes plays down through the list of songs, the same album cover is displayed in Cover flow. I can also see the next album in the que on either side of the album currently playing.
Lately though, I'm seeing an instance of album art for each song on an album. For example, if there are twelve songs on the album, there will be twelve instances of the album art work in Cover flow.
I have looked carefully at the song/album information to ensure it is consistent for each song on the album and it all appears to be same so I've just about given up.
I like to scan in my own CD covers to get the highest resolution artwork possible (generally 175k in size) and because it can be very time consuming, I no longer ask iTunes to search for album art.
I select the entire list of songs in the album and perform a Get Info and drop the artwork onto the Art well and Cover flow will react in one of two ways; it either consolidates all songs under a single piece of art or it will display the art for each song on the album!
What am I doing wrong?
G4 Dual Mirrored Door

For the instances where you are getting multiple album art showing in Cover Flow, are those songs from a compilation album? If the artist name isn't exactly the same for each song, iTunes will list them individually. You will have to: identify them as a compilation or alter the tag info or use the Sorting option to group them together.

Zen Vision:M and Album Art

So I know it has album art and I should be happy about, and I am. But I wish I could zoom in! Has anyone found a way, or is there a hack! Please do tell?

Hi Boxy !
For now, you can't zoom in the Album Art, but it can be a new feature on a future firmware. To hack it somehow, you have to mess around the system folder which is inaccessible...

Ios6 and album art

When I downloaded the ios 6, only some of my album art is present. I tried to sync with itunes but still no luck, missing lots of album art. Weird enough, when I do horizontal view, its all there...vertical view, only about half of it

OK so I have been able to come up with a solution that worked for me, for the most part. Here it is:
1) Find an album in my iPod Touch with missing art in coverflow
2) Download the missing art from the internet, unless I already have it
3) Open iTunes and find the album in my music library
4) Highlight every track in the album
5) Right click>get info
6) Double click the box named "Artwork" on bottom right
7) Finder will open. Locate the art I downloaded and select "open". Click ok.
8) Sync iPod.
The album art now appears in coverflow mode again and stays there.
**Here is the problem: For songs missing artwork that are individual and not part of an album, when I click "get info", the "artwork" box doesnt show up, and I cant use the method described above.
Here is what I did for those:
1) Download the art for the track with art that doesnt show up in coverflow
2) Locate the track with missing art in iTunes library
3) Right Click>get info
4) Click the "artwork" tab
5) Delete the art thats there
6) Add the art I just downloaded
7) Sync
After that they were all there in my coverflow except for 2 songs that are individual. I can't seem to fix them no matter what. All my art has been restored and viewable in coverflow now except for 2 songs. I can live with that for now.
I have 495 albums and a total of 2,835 songs so it wasnt too bad for me since my library isnt that massive. Only about 19GB

How much space do lyrics and album art take up on the nano?

like how many songs would be deducted [you won't be able to upload] if you have a 2GB nano with lyrics and a picture for each song,
how many songs do you think i would be able to store?
thanks!

thanks, well i checked one of my songs which had album art and lyrics and it said the size of it was 8.1MB..do you think this is taking up a lot of space? [taking away from the amount of songs i can have on my nano?]

How do I backup my Playlists and Album Arts?

I am about to format my hard drive.
All my music files are backed up on an external hard drive, but I know there are all sorts of iTunes files on my C: drive.
What do I do in order not to lose my Playlists and files info and my Album arts I've worked so hard to type in?
Thanks a lot..
Ronnie
