Playlist of songs missing artwork

Not sure how to word this correctly, but is there anyway of making a playlist of songs that have missing artwork?  I don't want a program that will find them and automatically add it from amazon or iTunes, but would just like a list of what songs are missing the artwork, then be able to put it in on my own.  I know there is a program that used to do this - but new computer and forgot what the program was called... Any help would be greatly appreciated - [email protected]

Well, I am not sure if there's a way to only view the songs that are on your ipod inside iTunes but, I know that if you bought them on the iPod that iTunes creates a playlist of only songs that you bought on that device. Another thing you can do, is command click on each song that you want to add to a play list and it will drag all the selected songs into that play list, then, what you can do is, go to File, Library, Export Play List, and select the play list that has only the songs you want. It should give you a .xml file, which you can then store on an external hard drive. Later, if you need to add that play list, you can go to File, Library, Import Play List, and select the play list you made. Hope that helps.
Ps. Command clicking on files, allows you to select more than one at a time. And Shift click allows you to select all the files under or above a certain file, up to a certain point. Like if you have, files 1-5, you can Shift click on file 1 and file 5 and it will select files 1-5 for you.

  • Songs "missing" from playlist still in library

    I've seen similar threads but my issue is slightly different. I do apologize if this is a duplicate post.
    In many of my playlists, a song will now be marked as missing by an exclamation point.  However, the song is still in the library and I can manually locate it.  This is happening to too many songs (70 at last count) so it is a PIA to fix.  Any ideas how to automate this? Suggestions on how to stop this from happening (this isn't the first time)?
    I haven't moved any songs or made changes to song names or libraries. The songs are in the same place and when I click locate for the first missing song in the list, iTunes goes directly to the right folder.  For each subsequent song, I've got to point iTunes.
    Thanks!

    Not a Sony Vaio. I have one of the first iPods. It was a gift. It's not that songs disappear from the playlist in the iPod, but from playlists on the computer. They are in the music library and I have to copy and paste them back into the playlist I want them in. I haven't lost any from the music library, fortunately.
    The playlists (I have a bunch of them) are blue with a music note. The songs in the playlists have checkmarks next to them, and are all checked. They just drop out of a playlist every now and again and I have to copy it back in. I can go for a while and think "hey, I haven't heard X in a long time". And sure enough it's dropped from the playlist in the computer, and I have to copy it back in from the library, then resynch the iPod. Really weird and mildly annoying.

  • I create a playlist with songs that I purchased from itunes and when I try to sync it to my iphone some of the songs are missing but when I go to the playlist in itunes the song is there.  What could be happening?  What am I doing wrong?

    I've created playlists with songs I've purchased from iTunes and also added songs I've purchased from iTunes to existing playlists.  Everytime I go to sync the playlist to my iPhone I find some of the new songs missing from the playlist.  I've deleted the playlist from the phone and reinstalled it.  I don't know what I"m doing wrong. Anyone have any idea what could be the problem?

    Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.
    Here's that thread...

  • Front Row missing artwork issue

    Hello everyone,
    Here is what i've experienced with missing artwork in front row.
    2 albums of my collection refused to display their artwork in front row (these artworks were displaying perfectly fine in itunes, coverflow, finder songs icons and ipods off course).
    After trying different things like deleting & replacing artwork, changing size of picture, and so on, nothing changed so i felt really disappointed...
    ...until....I remembered that i have created an itunes music store "wishing list", with 2 songs of these 2 albums. After deleting these 2 songs from the "wishing list" playlist, everything is back to normal, and front row display correctly the artwork..
    thank you for reading, and hope it will help some of you.

    This issue is still not solved in X.6.6,...
    By the way, no one has bothered answering to this topic. I'm saying sending feedback to Apple is a good idea, but that is the only way I could figure. Any other ideas from your side?
    Has anyone sent feedback to Apple? If not, please give their dev team some feedback about this issue.
    Thanks. Comments appreciated.

    Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.

  • Missing Artwork after upgrade to version 10

    Before upgrading to itunes 10 all my songs had artwork. Now the artwork is missing. Many albums will have the artwork for the first song and then its missing from the other songs in the same album.
    Does anyone else have this problem?

    I have the same problem. Since the upgrade artwork has just disappeared from many of my albums. It's not just that it's not showing in the album list, it's gone completely. If i "Get Info" then go to the artwork tab, the pane is empty where there used to be artwork. Using the itunes get artwork feature doesn't help, and as i spent a lot of time scanning in many of the images in the first place, I'm more than a little upset at having to do it again...
    Is there any way to use Time Machine to recover it?

  • How do I get a list of tracks with missing artwork?

    On a mac with itunes 9.02. I have about 15,000 tracks and about 5% have missing artwork
    The get album artwork on the advanced menu doesn't seem to do anything. I found a site which says that this menu option lists all the missing artwork, but it doesn't do it on mine.
    Any help?

    This script will survey the selected tracks or the selected Playlist for tracks without any artwork and copy them to a new discrete Playlist. Requires iTunes 7 or better.

  • Missing Artwork tab in Get Info?

    Recently I've noticed more and more files that don't have the Artwork tab when you go into the info.  I like keeping everything organized with DVD artwork, but I can't figure out why it's just some files and not others.  If I select multiple files, I can set the artwork that way, so my workaround is to set the artwork on the problem file along with one that does have the artwork tab, then I go back into the "good" one and use Get Info to set that one back to its actual artwork.
    Any ideas?

    Solution
    1) remove the Cache, Download, and Local directories in c:/My Documents/My Music/iTunes/Album Artwork/ then restart iTunes.
    2)Next allow iTunes to load all the artwork from the songs in your library.
    3)Fix any with missing artwork if you so desire
    4)Turn off artwork in music tab, sync, turn on artwork, sync (optimizes album artwork for all songs)

  • Missing Artwork in iTunes & iPhone-Adding

    For use with my new iPhone I purchased a new UMPC computer, i.e., Samsung Ultra Q1. Transferred music collection from my windows laptop, approximately 450 songs, 91 Albums. Installed iTunes 7.3.0.54. Added music folder to iTunes and iTunes converted the music as most were in WMA format. Synched iPhone and with the exception of missing artwork iPhone music looks fine.
    A. One Album has artwork in iTunes but did not transfer over to iPhone. Any ideas what I should do?
    B. Out of 96 albums 43 need to get Artwork. Tried having iTunes search/get but it was unable to find. From reviewing forums looks like I need to add manually. I have found the artwork in the respective music/cd folder on the original/source laptop. Looks like there is a large JPG and small JPG for the artwork, which one should I use to add to track/album manually. I assume once I get all the artwork on the albums in iTunes it will transfer over to my iPhone on the next sync.
    Thanks
    Kris

    Hey Kristopherk07,
    The smaller version of the artwork or thumbnail was probabbly being used by your other music application, I would use the larger version though.

  • Please help me with playlists and songs

    Hiya Im really stuck!
    I have an Ipod and am running windows, I added all my CD's and songs to my Ipod but as my computer doesnt have a lot of space I deleted them from the hard drive once I had done this.
    Now when I try to make a standard playlist by dragging them onto the playlist I created it wont work and it also wont let me add any artwork to albums.
    Am I being really thick or is there a simple solution.
    Any help is really really appreciated
    Thanks

    "Am I being really thick or is there a simple solution."
    Yes. Don't delete them from your hard drive. You cannot create playlists of, or add artwork to songs that aren't there!!

  • Music missing artwork after syncing with iPad 3rd Gen

    All the music on my MBP has artwork with them. Whenever I copy music from my MBP to my iPad 3, only 10% of the artwork shows up on my iPad. Anyone ideas why this is happening or how to correct it? Kinda ugly looking at music and only a handful of songs have artwork for them. I spent A LOT of time getting all the artwork for them so it's kinda annoying this is happening. I've done the "Get Album Artwork" bit already on my iPad however that doesn't work at all. Any ideas.

    AHA! Solution!
    At the bottom of the Music screen in the ipad (3rd gen) there are a set of buttons named store, playlists, songs, artists, albums, and more. Press the more button, then select shared, then select your computer in shared (I am sure home sharing must be on). All of the album art showed up immediately.
    Oops, No solution... only the homesharing screen, albums in ipad not affected.

  • Restored iTunes Library from backup, but Missing Artwork

    Hello
    I had to reinstall iTunes 8. Fortunately, I had a clone of my HDD from just the day before. After the iTunes reinstallation, I replaced the iTunes Library and iTunes Music Library.xml files with my back up versions. Once I opened iTunes it took its time rebuilding the Library with the result being my ratings, play counts, and lyrics all where they were supposed to be. I am happy!
    However, while that metadata was good, I noticed that I was missing artwork for a lot of the music files. It so happens that artwork was present in the iTunes Store purchased music, and in the files that had the artwork embedded via drag and drop (i.e., art was part of actual song file). On the other hand, every file that originally had images via Get Album Artwork was not referencing the Album Artwork folder (i.e., art not part of actual song file but referenced .itc files). So, no artwork.
    How do I get that artwork back? All the images are still in the Album Artwork folder, restored from my backup, but I cannot find a way to make itunes reference them again! Why does the Library.xml restore all the iTunes-specific information for a track except the artwork?
    Why do I not just use the Get Album Artwork feature again, you may be thinking? Because for most of the songs iTunes had the ID3 tag info wrong. After importing the music and matching the track names to iTunes Store to grab the artwork, I modified the ID3 info to more correctly reflect the artist, album, and track names. To rename the files to match iTunes Store, and then name them back to how I like them will take days.
    So.. am I out of luck? Is there a way to actually backup iTunes information so that songs keep their references to the .itc files in the Album Artwork folder?
    I thank you for your time reading this.
    cheers!

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library as iTunes Library (Corrupt) and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • How do I get it back to the way it was on my iTunes with my playlists and songs?

    My playlists and songs have disappeared on iTunes after the most recent upgrade. The playlists and songs are still on my phone as they were since I haven't synced yet. But they completely disappeared in iTunes on my computer. So when I try to sync, it says that all the information will be deleted. I don't want to have to go through the trouble of re-doing all the playlists and adding all the songs again. It took me a while to get it the way I like it! So does anyone have a solution? Please and thank you!
    Oh and the only thing that stayed on were my purchases.

    Did you change the screen resolution?
    You can right-click on empty space on the Desktop and open the Display Properties.
