N95 Album Art
I assume the N95 supports album art as there is functionality for it in the music menus.
However, I've tried downloading my music via both the Nokia programme, and windows media player 10 and the album art didn't transfer either time.
Any ideas?
I'm having the same problem.
The album art is saved as a tag within the track.
I can see the album art in Nokia Music Manager when it is listed or played in the "My Music" section.
When I convert the track to M4A and add it to "My Collection" it retains the other 'tags' but you can no longer see the Album art.
When the tracks are transfered to the phone you cannot see the album art there either.
Is there some other way of adding the Album art correctly??

Nokia N95 8GB Album Art and Album Folders Issue
I have been hunting for for a resolution for two issues with the N95 8GB Media Player all over the web.
1. Adding artwork (CD Covers) to audio tracks (or albums) seems to be at best hit and miss. Most of the time it just does not work.
2. Deleting an album delete all the tracks but deleting the album folder seems almost impossible.
Well this weekend I decided to try to solve this and I think I may have hit upon a solution.
Since so may people have the same problem I thought it worth repeating. I would stress this has not been exhaustively tested but it does work reliably so far.
I am using Nokia Music Manager 2.0. The fix is simply to convert the files to AAC rather than to M4A (which is the default). After this simple change everythig worked find for me. I can add and delete albums from Nokia Music Manager 2.0 (don't forget to refresh on the phone afterwards) AND reliably add Album Artwork.
So here is how I have been working.
1. Set the conversion format to AAC. I have been using 'Ultra high' quality setting. Options Menu >> Setting >> Conversion Tab.
2. Next put in a CD, select all the tracks and choose copy to my collection.
3. While this is going on I find the artwork on the Web. A simple Google Image search with the album title and artists last name / band name seems pretty 100% to get the on the first page. Download image to My Documents / My Pictures.
4. Once the CD Rip is complete they will all appear in My Collection. I select all the tracks in my collection for the album in question, and then right click on one of them and select Edit.
5. I then attach the Album Artwork by clicking on the blue folder and choosing it from my, MY Pictures folder.
6. Finally select Copy to Phone from the File Menu.
This has worked for me so far 100% and I have done 20 or so albums.
NOTES:
To get Nokia Music Manager 2.0 I uninstalled the version of Nokia Phone Suite that came with my phone and went to
http://europe.nokia.com/A4144905I (or seach Google for "nokia phone suite"
I chose the N95 8GB downloaded and installed. At some point shortly after install Phone Suite informed me that there were updates available and Nokia Music Manager 2.0 was one of these.
I was originaly using this and suffered all the problems you guys have. After searching the web and finding no solution I decided to do some experimenting.
Hope all this helps.
PS If you need to delete all your legacy album folders, this is the fix I found on this same site. You can do this at any time.
1. Enable the option to be able to see Hidden Files and Folders in your Windows Explorer.
2. Connect your n95 8gb to your computer and choose data transfer mode.
3. Go to My COmputer >> Nokia Phone Browser >> Nokia N95 8GB >> Memory Card E:
3. If you have selected Show Hidden Files and Folders (see 1) you should see a folder called Private.
4. In the Private folder you need to delete the contednts of three folders
\private\101FFC31 (mpxv1.mpd and pcv5.mpd)
\private\101f8857\Cache
\private\101ffca9
In all the 3 folders delete all the files Not the FOLDER
Next time you restart the music player it will rebuild the indexes without the deleted albums folders.
Hope this helps someone. It restored my sanity.Album Art
Basically there are two methods
Method 1.
You do it on the phone. Load the album art pictures to the memory card. (Must be JPEG NOT BMP)
Load also the music files.
Open Music application in the phone. Open an album then select Options->Album art then Options-> Add, browse for the picture and select Ok.
Repeat for each ALBUM
Method 2.
You do it on the PC.
Get a Tag editing software like Tag&Rename, WINAMP, etc.
Edit the files Metadata to include Album Art picutres (again they should be jpeg and also they should be set as Cover Front).
Transfer the files that have Album Art using File transfer (usb mass storage) don't use MTP or PC Suite as these methods may convert the files and Album Art will be lost.
Or you can continue using your Method

How do you get album art to display in N95 player?
As titled, on the N95 8GB, how do you get the image art work of a file/song to display? Thanks
To > pescaglini
I've got the best method for album art without using any jpegs from the phone.
Follow these steps;
1. Download & Install Easy CD-DA Extractor v11.0 (30-Day Trial). This software is amazing & its worth paying for...and if u get other version above v11.0 album art will NOT work !
Download Link: http://rapidshare.com/files/120267020/ezcddax11.exe.html
MODs dont worry it 30-Day Trial
2. Run Easy CD-DA Extractor v11.0
3. Select the “Audio Converter” Tab & drag your files that you want converting.
4. Now edit your audio files tags such as Genre, Artist, Album etc
5. Highlight all your music files & click on the “Additional ID3” tab.
6. You have two options either to Download Album Art off the Internet or Load the
image from your PC. For this guide I am going to use an Image that is saved on my PC.
7. Select Your Encoding Method eg MP3 Lame, AAC+, eAAC+ etc
8. Then Press Convert Button & presto u get album art
Alternativly if you want a Guide with Screenshots then I've made this guide, remember the guide came from me ...

How do you display album art on the N95 8Gb?
Does anyone know how to make album art display when an album is playing on an N95 8Gb? It appears on some albums but not on others. I dragged my music folders from my itunes folder and in each album I have a small GIF or JPG file as the album art, but where do these go when the music files are dragged across - I can't find them anywhere on the phone, yet some of them display whereas others don't.
Solved!

i have iweb but how to i make a picture show up when someone clicks on it in itunes
Hello,
I think for me its about as easy as 1-2-30000. What I mean is that I have 30000 mp3 that already have ID3 tag version 2.2 and above that were put on long before WMP11. It is not feasable to re-add all the album art for the 30,000 tracks that I have. When will there be a bug fix to address the issue on the phone itself.
I look on the internet and there seems to be forum after forum on the subject. To my mind this is a bug. The player on the N95 should be able to pick up album art that has been taggged as USER DEFINED (as every other player seems to).
I even tried adding the album art on the phone, then copied it back to the PC to see how the phone had tagged the track. Strangely enough, it appears to be the same as all my other tracks on my PC i.e. ID3 version 2.2 & art work categorised as USER DEFINED.
When will we get a fix? -
hi, im trying to add album art to my music files on my 6120c, but even if i drag them to the album art box in the Nokia Music Manager, nothing happens, its like the phone software doesnt recognize the album art tag... can anyone help?
It can display album artwork definately.
I really don't know how to do it but i am not bothered about it.
I heard Itunes can do it.

Does anyone have any idea how I could change my album art from squares to circles?
More specifically I'd like it to look like a CD rather than a record sleeve or CD jewelbox. I always kept my music in those CD booklets growing up so my main association with music is the CD itself, not the packaging.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!Hello,

hello, i have the nokia e65 (should have been the e51, but i don't mind), and i know it's loaded with the s60 third edition software. anyway, i was wondering whether album art could be enabled - i followed tutorials describing this for the nokia n95 (i assumed it also being an s60 phone it would also apply to me), but with no luck.
at the moment i have the album art (jpegs) embedded with the ID3 tags. is tehre another way or is it just not possible with the e-series devices?
thanks in advancecheck out this thread, I believe that it has your answer.

Nokia Is To Be Blamed for Album Art & Metadata
Right first of all when Nokia released back in the days the N91 and that device had the support for standard Metadata & ID3 Tagging + Album Art and now there are more nseries/eseries/nokia express music devices such as N95, N81, N82, N95 8GB, 5300 etc...
The problem is Nokia have moved from Standard Metadata/ID3 Tagging and now they use there own method which i find is ridiculous ! before I use to use Easy CD-DA Extractor Pro v10.5 which was excellent for album art, ID3/Medatadata Tagging etc and they converted audio files use to show correct details on nseries device such as Album art, genre etc.
Now if i use any programs such as Winamp Pro, Easy CD-DA Extractor v11 or above, Mediamonkey etc and try to Add an album art into the eAAC+ file (.aac) they do not show up on any nseries devices (so far ive tried N82, n81 n95, n95 8GB) all with latest firmware.
Nokia should get there act togtether and change to standard method. !!!
i can not be askd to manually put jpeg images into my phone and select for each tract/or album the album art in the music player on the phone !
I have contacted Winamp - EasY CD-DA Extractor - Coding Technologies (License to Nokia for aacPlus) and they all seem to say one common in thing;
- They use the latest aacPlus plugin and the problem is not with their plugin its with Nokia. Coding Technologies gave license to Winamp - Easy CD DA Extractor and they both use the latest aac Plugin.
I would advise a Moderator to pass this info to the relevant firmware team and update this metadata/ID3 tagging to Standard like its used in all other software and hardware devices !

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.

How can I display all album art of my library in iTunes
All my music tracks in my library contain the respective album art within their ID3-tags and it is perfectly displayed in the lower left corner window when I select or play a track.
What I really would like to do is to browse through my library using the album art, not the text-based endless lists (title, album, interpret, genre etc.), then click on a cover, see the tracks and select one.
Is there a feature in iTunes already that can do that or a plug-in somewhere in the market ? (I do not need a tool that collects album art like eyejamz, but a tool to display the art I already have)
Thanks a lot for any feedback

iPod shuffle Windows XPBakergirl,
You can use iTunes to remove the beginning or end of a song (or both) by setting the Start and Stop times.
But to remove a section from the middle and keep the rest, you will need an audio editor such as Audacity. -
I am having trouble with album art linked to each track. My library is ripped from my own cd's and ITunes only provides some of the artwork from a find artwork search. The rest must be found and added one at a time manually from web. This process is tedious and time consuming for me. Is there a file in iTunes related to each album that I can just drop the art once and it shows up linked to all the tracks from that album when they play? I've tried selecting all songs from an album and dragging the artwork to the artwork window once in hopes of all tracks getting the artwork at the same time with no luck. Any advice for this paltry artwork dilemma would be appreciated. If Cassidy & Greene still owned this ******* child of SoundJam I know I would not be having this problem! HaHa...Thanks for any advice/help with this problem.
Thx 4 quick reply alexbird. Your method will work and after a little experimenting so will this: Just go to the album art view option and highlight the album you want artwork for. Drag the artwork from your album art web search page to bottom left hand album art window in iTunes and just drop it there. A small progress window then appears showing each album track adopting the dropped artwork one by one. It only takes 10-15 seconds for all of the tracks on your album to adopt the new artwork. I then went back and removed unwanted artwork(from the albums that had it) track by track from the get info menu. This goes pretty quick as you just pick track>get info>artwork>highlight art>delete>ok for each track.
This drag/drop to the album art view page has been the simplest and most effective way I have discovered to manually import album artwork into iTunes so far. Hope this helps someone else out there. Any other methods or suggestions to do this task added to this thread will be duly noted. Thx... Oh, I am currently using iTunes 10.5.1 -
some of the album art for the songs i recently downloaded from itunes is there, but almost everything i've downloaded from itunes in the past has no album art. how do i get it back?
Another thing to try: uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox in your iPod pane in iTunes, sync and allow iTunes to remove the tracks, then rechec the "Sync Music" checkbox and resync. That fixed the problem with missing and incorrect album artwork on my iPad with iOS 5.
Regards. -
A late majority of the album art on my iPod Touch is mixed up.
I put a CD in my laptop to import it to iTunes. I unplugged my iPod and all the album art in my music (all of which I had purchased on iTunes) was mixed up. Say, a Lady Gaga song still played Lady Gaga but the album art was one of my Katy Perry songs. I've tried restoring all settings but it's still messed up. I need help, please.
You are not alone. Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
