Script Error report when trying to "Find Album Info" for music in Windows Media Player

When I click on "Find Album Info" in Windows Media Player, it finds the correct media info. But when I click "Finish" after verifying everything is correct, it says "An error has occurred on this script page" and asks if I want to continue. I click
yes, it goes back to the last page of finding album info, I again click "Finish" to find the same "Script error" page?

Sir, that means the Windows Firewall Blocked the Script So try these steps hope it works for you :
1.) - Open the "Start Menu".
2.) - Go to the "Control Panel".
3.) - Double click "Security Center".
4.) - Click "Windows Firewall" in the top left.
5.) - Click "Change settings".
6.) - Click "Continue".
7.) - Click the "Exceptions" tab.
8.) - Scroll down and check all of the "Windows Media Player" options.

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.

Why do i not get album info when copying cd's into itunes?

I have been importing music from my cd's into my itunes library. I am wondering why album info and track names do not automatically transfer over into itunes? I am having to type each song name and album name in individually - is there a way around this?
Cheers

That just depends who made the CD. Some have that info, and some don't. It sounds like the one's you're importing don't.
Also, some get that info off the Internet, so you'll want that computer connected while importing.

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

Finding Album Info

Is there a program I can download that will look up the Album of a particular song. I have programs that will look up the album art but I need one that looks up the album info like in media player. Thanks.

Try musicbrainz. For me, it can find probably 85% of the things I toss at it.

Not finding album artwork....?

I have tons of CDs that with WMP it has the artwork and when I load up itunes, nothing. go figure ... Im trying to find a way to make wmp and itunes place nice with the auto updating of the song info but between the two they love to fight and screw things up
*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.”

ITunes not finding album covers

Hello, I've decided to upload my albums to iTunes. But I'm becoming more and more furstrated as iTunes can't seem to find a lot of the album covers.
I've tried Tune-up but I've used up all the free album covers they give you. Is there any other 'Simple to use' apps/programms that can help me with this problem?
Many thanks,

Match not updating Album info

Hi,
I enabled Match and let it upload missing songs, mostly compilation albums.
Once they were on Match I realised that a lot of the albums had incorrect info (causing the compilation albums to appear many many times in my iPhone).
I fixed the issue on my laptop, but I can't get the changes to roll out to Match.
What am I supposed to do? How do I get it to sync the changes? Ive tried doing "Update iTunes Match" but that hasn't done it either.
Suggestions?

I had this problem with some of the older music that I have. I actually found my own album artwork and info on the internet and entered it in manually. I guess this could take awhile for alot of music, but i know how frustrating it can be.I used Amazon.com to find info and artwork for music Apple never heard of.Good Luck.

ITunes Not Syncing Album Info

An album I had in my iTunes library had the wrong year in it so it was not in the correct order chronologically so I changed the album release year in this case from 2008 to 1994. However despite it changing in iTunes OK when it syncs over to my phone it reverts to 2008 on my phone but stays as 1994 on my iTunes library.
Any ideas? it is driving me mad!

OK, the iPod show up in Windows Explorer when you plug it in - and it never shows up in iTunes?
Have you tried anything from this document - iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes?

ITunes store for Mac does not find albums, iTunes store for iPhone is OK

When looking for an artist on iTunes store for Mac, the search returns no result.
When looking for the same artist (Paddy Milner in the Music store), I can find this artist in iTunes store for iPhone.
I tried another artist (Alice Russell), same thing.
Is there something happening with iTunes store for Mac?

After upgrading to iTunes 12 on WinXP it did not connect to Gracenote.
I found this solution.
Solution:
Exit iTunes
Press the WinLogoKey+R
Type in %appdata% and press return
Double click on Apple Computer
Double click on iTunes
Take a back up of the file iTunesPrefs.xml as a precaution (copy to some safe area)
Delete the file iTunesPrefs.xml
Start iTunes again
Good Luck!

Not finding any info or tutorials on "archive and instal"

I can't get to the desktop and I've tried disk Utilities . I need more info on "archive and instal"
please

Thank you Thank you
I don't know why I have such difficulty with this site
Archive and install seems to have worked but I received a strange message on the desktop
The application Transport Monitor could not be launched because of a shared library error
"8<Transport Monitor><Transport Monitor><Hot SyncLib.PPC>"
Should I just do Disk Utilities again ?

Album info in 7.1.1

The new iTunes will not recognize album info when I am trying to rip CD's. Is it something I did or is anyone else finding the same problem?

Try this and see if it causes iTunes do get the album/track info when you import a CD:
In iTunes, go to: "Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Importing".
Make sure that the "automatically retrieve CD track names from the internet" option is selected.
Click "OK" to close the window and save your changes.

Why is it that Itunes can't find album art for "North" by Elvis Costello and others

Why is it that from all the albums in my Library itunes can not find album art for:
"North" by Elvis Costello
"Viva la Vida" by Coldplay
and "Old Yellow Moon" by Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowel?

Earl,
For iTunes to find the art, it needs to match exactly on the Artist and Album Text. Minor issues like spacing or punctuation can prevent the match, as can a misspelling like "Crowel" for Crowell."
Look in the iTunes Store to get the exact text, fix the tags in the corresponding tracks, and then try again to "Get Album Artwork."
If that still fails, just grab the correct art off the web, and paste it into the Artwork tab.
