Musician Wanting To Add Artwork For CD

I'm a musician who has just released a new CD. Where can I submit my album artwork so that people who buy my CD will see it when they import it into itunes.

That makes sense .
I could be mistaken but I thought that Apple used an
external entity to retrieve artwork and I was hoping
to submit to them directly.
I do plan to submit my CD to Apple in the near future
but I thought that this might be a quick option in
the mean time.
Apple uses an external provider called Gracenote (as in Gracenote CDDB) to obtain track/album/artist information when you insert an Audio CD. However Gracenote do not provide Album Artwork.
Apple therefore use their own iTunes store as the source of Album Artwork pictures for iTunes. Currently there are about 4 million tracks on the iTunes store with the notable exception of the Beatles. (A friend recently wanted to know why iTunes would not automatically add artwork for his Beatles CDs, it is of course because they are not [yet] on the iTunes store.)
The majority of Album Artwork on the iTunes store is 600x600 pixels, this compares with Microsoft's WMP and their equivalent source of Album Artwork which (even ignoring the incredible number of inaccuracies in their database) is a rather pathetic 200x200 pixels. Amazon and Walmart internet stores use 500x500 pixels.
Finally, yes, in order for your artwork for your CD to work in iTunes using this "Get Album Artwork" facility, your CD or tracks have to be on sale on the iTunes store. Part of the process of submitting your music to the iTunes store for sale will include providing artwork to Apple for inclusion.

    Hi,
    if i understood your question correctly
    There is one setting of creating purchase order at the time of GR, for this you have to maintain info records and activate setting in SPRO of create PO at the GR, Then your problem will get solved, Gr becomes valuated and PO will be created in background.
    Putting value at GR does not make any. sence

  • Why can't I add artwork for wav files

    I have a few music in my iTunes that are in WAV audio format, in the get info I am not able to add missing artwork like I can do all the others audio format and yes I have tried the get album artwork from iTunes but it says could not be found.  What is this?

    Perhaps if you asked in the iTunes for Windows forum rather than here in the iPad in the Enterprise forum, someone might have suggestions.
    Regards.

  • Can't add artwork for WAV file?

    It's true. I tried. Is that supposed to happen? Why can't I put artwork on a WAV file in iTunes?

    i think and am pretty sure that the album art is saved into the tracks data tags. There is a difference between the data tag on a file and the iTunes database infomation. Things like artist, album, genre go into the tracks data tag. Things like ratings and playcount go into the database file (see ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Database). If the artwork were stored in iTunes then it would global and across all formats and would not be retained if music is moved around. I think that album art is preserved if a track is moved and as you've pointed out album art can't be added to some formats such as WAV so i'm guessing that album art is a codec limitation. WAV is pretty old a raw uncompressed format that is much larger than mp3 or aac. You would need to convert the audio to one of these formats to add album art. To do this set your import options to one of these codecs under the importing tab in the advanced pane of the iTunes preferences. Then with the WAVs selected in iTunes go to the Advanced Menu in the main menu bar and click on 'Convert Selection to <Codec you chose>'
    Hope that helps

  • Add a for each script to loop through HTTPService?

    I'm using Flash Builder 4 with the Flex 4.1 SDK.  I want to add a "for each" script to loop through my HTTPService XML file so only each nepName displays only once in my dropdown list.  In my XML file I have multiple records associated with nepName.  I would like ALL the records associated with each nepName to populate in my datagrid when it is selected from the dropdown.  Currently in my dropdown there is a nepName entry for each XML tag.  I hope I was able to explain that well enough.

  • How to add columns for existing table dynamically?

    I think the following code snippet will help you.
    int l_no_cols = 0;
    //Get the number of columns in this variable, something like the following
    //l_no_cols = wdContext().currentContextElement().get<Context_attribute_name>;
    IWDTable l_tab;
    IWDTransparentContainer l_tbl_cont = (IWDTransparentContainer)view.getElement("TableDataCont");//ID of Container
    l_tab = (IWDTable)view.getElement("TableData");//ID of Table
    l_tab.setVisible(WDVisibility.VISIBLE);
    l_tab.bindDataSource(wdContext.nodeTable_Data().getNodeInfo());
    for(int a = 1; a <=l_no_cols; a++)
    //Creating the column
    IWDTableColumn l_tab_col = (IWDTableColumn)view.createElement(IWDTableColumn.class,"COL"+a);
    //Creating Caption for Column Header
    IWDCaption l_tab_cap = (IWDCaption)view.createElement(IWDCaption.class,"Caption"+a);
    l_tab_cap.setText("Col"+i);               
    l_tab_col.setHeader(l_tab_cap);

    IWDInputField l_tab_cell = (IWDInputField)view.createElement(IWDInputField.class,"CellEditor"+a);
    //creating context node attribute for the column dynamically
    wdContext.nodeTable_Data().getNodeInfo().addAttribute("Col"+i,"com.sap.dictionary.String");
    l_tab_cell.bindValue(wdContext.nodeTable_Data().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("Col"+i));

  • Crash when adding artwork for Films/Movies

    I have converted some DVDs to .mp4 format for use on my iPad. The files play fine in Quicktime and iTunes, but when I "Get Info" and add artwork for the file - after clicking ok, the spinning beachball appears and iTunes eventually crashes.
    The files themselves are about 3GB each. I have tried opening iTunes in safemode, and it does add the artwork, but as soon as I deslect the video, the artwork clears again.
    Does anyone have a solution, or some tips?
    I am using Mac OS X 10.7.3 and iTunes 10.6 (40).
    Thanks!

    This is also driving me nuts... Actually, I have not even figured out how to even enter a new appointment in month view. It used to be double-click, enter name, hit <tab> and fill out he rest in the panel, but this routine does not work any more.

  • How can I add artwork when I don't have the artwork option??

    I want to add artwork that gracenote cddb doesn't recognize but when I choose "get more info" the artwork tab isn't there.

    Believe me I've tried everything. I'm signed in right now. I have everything set. Some albums have the artwork tab when I right click them and choose get info. There should be 4 or 5 tabs. Summary, Info, Options, Lyrics, & Artwork. Some of the albums with no artwork have only 3 tabs. Summary, Info , & options. The info is grayed out unless I choose every song. When I do that, none of the changes I make in the info tab stay including dragging artwork into the little artwork window. Please help.

  • Artwork for "Massive Attack - Heligoland" could not be found.

    I tried, but I could not add artwork for the Heligoland album by Massive Attack. I think there's something wrong with the iTunes artwork database. This album is available on iTunes Store. Did anyone successfully add this album's artwork? Please help.

    I bought the album from iTunes and that worked fine. Check to make sure that the title you have is character for character the same as iTunes lists it. If it's different at all, iTunes won't find it.
    You can always copy the artwork from some other source (I like Amazon) and paste it in yourself.

  • Artwork for m4a?

    Hello. I just bought Somnium, which is a 7-hour audio DVD--all music. RIP'ed to hard drive with AVS Audio Convertor. Ended up with four tracks, each about 2.5 hours long. Used AVS to convert tracks to M4A, imported into itunes 9.0.2.25 and successfully synced to my Video ipod. I am unable to add artwork for the tracks. Found a jpg, used the "Add Artwork" button in the "Get Info" box to load the jpg. Artwork shows up in the "Get Info" window (under the "Artwork" tab), but when I click "OK", the main itunes window shows the generic 'eighth-note logo'. When I return to the "Artwork" tab in the "Get Info" window, the jpg image has disappeared. Is there a way to add artwork to m4a files?

    Hi Jeremiah,
    Most likely is that you've misspelt a file or folder name in the path to the m4a file, which is why the server says it can't be found if you enter that URL in the browser. If the URL doesn't point to a valid file it will result in the little round ! in iTunes.
    Another possibility is to check the permissions on the file on the server - make sure it can be read by visitors as the server won't serve it up to you without the right permissions.
    Good luck,
    Greg
