*NOTE: You must convert WAV files to another format before you can add artwork.*
*From iTunes Help ...*
Music and video you buy from the iTunes Store comes with its own artwork. You can add your own artwork to songs and other items in your library. You can add many popular types of still-image files, including JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and Photoshop.
In list view (the leftmost View button), to display artwork for the currently selected item, choose View > Show Artwork or click this button (in the bottom left of the iTunes window):
Here are ways to add artwork to music and video:
◼ To add artwork to one item, select an item in your iTunes library and drag the art file file to the artwork viewer.
◼ To add artwork to multiple items, select an item, choose File > Get Info, and click Artwork. To add art to the selected item, click Add (or drag the art file from your desktop to the artwork box). Click Next to add artwork to the next item.
◼ To add the same artwork to multiple items, hold down the Command key as you click each item, choose File > Get Info, click Artwork, and drag the art file to the artwork box.
◼ To add more than one piece of art to a song, drag more than one image to the same artwork box.
◼ To retrieve album artwork for songs in your library, select the songs and choose Advanced > Get Album Artwork.
◼ To have iTunes automatically download album artwork when you import a CD or add songs with missing artwork, choose iTunes > Preferences, click Store, and select “Automatically download missing album artwork.”

Perhaps try the "Error -609" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

ITunes not finding album artwork

I'm getting a bit sick of this - why does iTunes not find any album artwork any more, yet it recognises the album & finds all the tracks? This seems to be a constant problem on this forum - anyone have any ideas...? I have iTunes 11 & a desktop intel Mac, OS X 10.7.

I wouldn't be in a hurry to upgrade to 8.2.
Make sure that the *Album Artist* and Artist of your album matches up with what's in the iTunes Store EXCEPT if the artist has an ampersand (&) in it. Then put in everything up until the space before the ampersand. (You're free to edit the info after you've gotten the correctly downloaded artwork.) In some cases you may not get the correct artwork no matter how you match the data.

The Control A key is not working. I cannot multi-select my songs. I'm not sure if it is the problem with iTunes 10.6.1.7 or my PC settings encounter issues. Also, i cannot find Album Artwork online using iTunes and i cannot select any view form but List.

Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art?

Why don't you, instead of taking time to do that, just backup, and then restore your iPod?
Just a suggestion..

Unable to find album artwork?

HT1296 is there a way to NOT synch album artwork - I'd rather save the space for music...

Note that the artwork associated with your albums is probably less than 1% of the size of your media files themselves.

ITS not updating album artwork

I have tried multiple ways listed on multiple posts. Let me spell out as much detail as I can here.
iTS Podcast URL: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/hardstyle-team/id334802520
My podcast's album artwork has gone awry since they standard change to 1400x1400px for the artwork. I had made the recommended changes such as crearting a new file and referencing it, not overwriting my current file, but no luck. I have been reverted to the default artwork ever since.
After a month or so I had thought it may be the Wordpress plug-in I was using. BluBrry. Because now my feeds weren't updating. I tinkered around and re-installed BluBrry and Wordpress running all default recommended settings. My feed had finally updated, but not the album artwork. And for some reason my feed was only showing 9 episodes?
So I decided perhaps I'll dump everything on another domain and use Podcast Maker since it had a free 30 day trial.
I set 301's to my old feeds and included the iTunesNewUrl line.
http://hardstyleteam.us/feed/podcast/ is now http://podcast.hrdstyl.com
Feed displays as valid but there has been no change in my ITS listing.
This is frustrating when I am regularly ranking in the top 50 in the Netherlands Music Podcasts, but displaying a generic placeholder graphic with no episodes being updated.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank You!

iTunes is indeed using the feed at http://podcast.hrdstyl.com/ at least for subscribers. The episodes up to 36 show in the Store: episode 37 shows when subscribing but as it was only uploaded today it won't appear in the Store for a day or two.
You have an image correctly referenced in the feed: it should appear in the Store eventually but it can take a week or two for images to appear.
You have a 301 redirect in place: I don't know what the result will be if you remove it. Obviously the itunes:new-feed-url only works if the Store can read the old feed - that will move it permanently. However Apple do advise using both, and leaving both in place for two weeks, so presumably it will be OK.

ITunes Match not matching the songs, not uploading album artwork

In the past few months I started having problems with the ITM. Whenever I add a new song to iTunes and subsequently add it to ITM, the program seems to get stuck on the 3 step and reboots. As a result I am unable to add new songs to my iPhone because they are not in ITM. I also noticed that not all album artwork has been added to the iTunes and ITM. I have read other discussions and I know that I am not the only one having these issues. This is a very convenient service and I would like to continue to use it, however if Apple does not do anything about it, then I'll have to cancell my subscription.

While we're at it can anyone convince me itunes match is a good idea?? From what I've read from others it doesn't have that much going for it other than being a itunes back up........ I've got an external HDD for that so think I should have saved my money
That's exactly what it isn't, you should not use iTunes match as a back up. If titles are removed from the store you will no longer be able to download them. iTunes match works perfectly well for me as intended, that's with my library on my Mac backed up to an external HD and accessible via iTunes match on every other device I have.
As for your setting up issue, what do you mean by stopping and starting, are you turning iTunes match off when you do this.

ITunes cannot find album artworks

Hello, I imported some purchased Cd's I have at home to iTunes and the album artwork does not appear. I tried all the ways to make iTunes get the artwork as the iTunes help says and still, "artwork could not be found". Is there a way I can make iTunes to automatically download the album artwork??
thank you

Do you know I have the same problem.
I go to HMV with my daughter and spend time browsing music together. We come home and inport our music. It always finds the track and album names but cannot find the Artwork. This does not seem to apply to odd or old stuff, even chart CDs.
To add insult to injury if you type the album name into Itunes it is there, with the artwork.
Another reason why I HATE Itunes......

Could not get artwork for some albums. I am not getting any artwork for Cd's imported into Itunes. almost 400 albums and not one album artwork. what to do?

cannot get artwork for some albums is the feedback I am trying to get when trying to get album artwork for Cd's imported into my itunes. almost 400 Cd's computer is seen processing the infor however not one album artworkcan be seen what to do?

Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Are your songs from Audio CDs or iTunes Store? If not you may need to manually find the album artwork for them as these songs may not be listed in the iTunes Store database for your region.
iTunes: Album art may not download properly
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1815
iTunes will only download album artwork for songs that it can find in the iTunes Store. iTunes will check each song in your iTunes library and attempt to match it up with a song in the iTunes Store. If the data matches, iTunes will download the album artwork from the iTunes Store and add it to the song in your iTunes library. If iTunes does not find a particular song's artwork in the iTunes Store, you will not see an alert message. iTunes simply does not download artwork for that song.

Why can I not see album artwork on my iphone but I can on itunes

I have downloaded album artwork onto itunes, however some of it is not downloading onto my iphone. How can I get the album artwork onto my phone?

On the right hand side of the itunes store - there is a link under "quick links" to "purchases" where I can find all the books and music I have purchased through itunes. That way if I have loaded something from itunes using my phone - I can then go and download it onto my PC later (or that is how I use it).
BUT - while music, movies, TV shows, Apps & Books are available for download - there is no audiobooks option. So, I have these purchases of audiobooks through itunes, but I cannot find them in my purchases history. I have tried to manually sync these audiobook purchases from my phone to my PC, but it would not let me. And the last time I tried to sync my audiobook library between my phone and my PC - (loading these new purchases from phone to PC) it wiped my phone purchases and I had to go back to apple with all the purchase receipts to get them back.
I would like to be able to load audiobooks purhcased on my itunes account onto my home and work PC from the itunes purchased database from my account (or from my phone if someone can recommend a safe way to move the file).
Thanks for asking.

ITunes not Finding Album Art (Which Does Exist)

For reasons that I have been unable to ascertain, iTunes cannot find album art for some albums that I have ripped. The art does exist on iTunes--I've done a search and checked. The song text matches; the album title appears to match; but iTunes politely informs me "Artwork could not be found."
This is not due to the fact that these are songs I have ripped myself; iTunes has found plenty of other album art for tunes I've ripped myself. Something else is going on. A couple of examples for folks to chew on:
Godzilla - Blue Öyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper: The Best Of Blue Öyster Cult
Mirror In The Bathroom - The English Beat - Beat This! The Best of the English Beat
Freeze-Frame - J. Geils Band - Freeze Frame
The Healer - John Lee Hooker - The Healer
There are plenty of others; that's just a sample. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello,
so there's no way of adding new covers to iTunes by drag and drop to the left bottom box??? I have to add the cover with +I only?
I've tried yesterday to add the covers with a simlpe drag and drop into the useful bottom-left box.... It didn't work... C'mon Apple!
It kinda *****...
PS: Adding covers via the new "import cover from apple store" fonction doesn't work as well. Youth bugs I presume
