Podcast Get Info Album Art Not Saved for Future Episodes

I have iTunes 8. I noticed most of my podcasts have album art showing in grid view. When I upgraded to 2.1 on my iPhone and synced my iPhone I noticed no album art on the podcast main page on the iPhone. I decided to restore the phone to a new phone not backup and the new sync of my podcasts showed album art. However inside each podcast the album art wasn't showing on each episode.
Looking at iTunes for those affected episodes doing a Get Info showed not album art. I guess the podcast doesn't have album art. I right click on the podcast, not an episode, and select get info. I click on the album art box and check the box and inside the album art box double click which brings up a navigation display. I had already taken a screen shot of the album art in the iTunes music store for each podcast. I import the graphic to the album art box and save. All the current episodes have their artwork updated. Now I sync to the iPhone and all is well.
If I download a new episode for this podcast and do a Get Info on this episode there is no artwork. Looking at the Get Info for the podcast the artwork was never saved. However if you change a text field in Get Info and then download a new podcast episode that text field in the get info of the episode is updated. Why doesn't the album art not get saved and update each episode that is downloaded with missing album art?
Am I missing something?
Thanks
Kelvin

Yeah, on my iPhone some of the album art for my podcasts was actaully changed to an arbitrary incorrect image. For example, instead of the Cranky Geeks logo, I get to look at New Kids on the Block (don't ask). I'm going to try unsubscribing from the podcast, deleting past episodes from my computer, sync the phone so it wipes out those old episodes and incorrect art, and then resubscribing and resyncing the phone. Hopefully that will transfer the correct art back up to the phone.

Changes made in the PODCAST GET INFO window do not "stick"?

When working with podcasts, changes made in the GET INFO window do not "stick" for newly downloaded podcasts? In other words the changes are not persistent for newly downloaded podcasts. I want the changes to apply to past, present, and future podcasts.

thats difficult to say without seeing the code in the template.
when you dont supply any _tempate value in the url, the system by default uses
WEBREPORTING_SELSCREEN template.
your po_selscreen may be a copy of this and modified to change the look and feel or something like that. compare these two and see whats causing the selscreen from appearing completely

Album art not saving to actual file, how do I resolve this?

The music in my iTunes library all has album artwork, however, some of the actual files in Finder do not have this embedded. How is it possible to get this album art to save to the actual file without having to individually edit the ID3 tags with a 3rd party editor?

If you embed artwork to all files in an album it takes up more drive space. It may not sound like much but if it is high resolution artwork and you have thousands of files it could represent a few GBs of drive space. iTunes keeps only a single copy of artwork per album but this is only in iTunes library, not the files.
So if you really do want to embed artwork:

Album Art Not Saving

I have iTunes 11 and have imported a CD of my own making. I have a JPG file that I want to use for album artwork. I select the album and Get Info and then paste the image into the album artwork field. The artwork appears, but it is not saved when I click OK. All other album artwork I have added saves just fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
John

Mario,
Thanks, but I think I figured out that the problem is with the file format. I have some files in WAV format and those do not seem to allow album artwork to "stick". Once I changed the file to Apple Lossless format, the album artwork "stuck" just fine.
What was confusing is that iTunes gave no indication of the fact that album art does not work with WAV files.
Thanks,
John

Album Art not saved

Hi, i am trying to include album art to my songs and i click and drag to the space for album art. It seems it is saved because it appears. but if i select another song and then i come back to the song i set the album art, there ir no album art.
What is happening?
In preious versions i did not hace this bug.

I have to chime in here too. I am also not able to get iTunes to save album artwork I've downloaded from other online sources (Amazon, other JPEG images of album covers, etc). I've tried various methods (selecting individual song, drag artwork to viewer box or open the Info dialog and drag image to that ARTWORK tab or use the ADD button to locate image files, and also trying to select a whole album and dragging the image to the multiple selected songs) but nothing works. I've checked by making sure the viewer box is on Selected Song rather than Playing Song, etc etc. It just doesn't want to keep the song artwork no matter what I do.
I am the admin for the computer so permissions shouldn't be an issue, but how do I check?
I'm using iTunes 6.0.1 and I've tried this on many different songs. It does keep the artwork for songs I've purchased thru ITMS, natch, just not the ones I've ripped from my own CD collection.
Does the artwork need to be saved to a specific place to work? I looked thru folders in my library and couldn't find image files for songs I've purchased.
I hope somebody can help!

Downloaded album art not saved in mp3 file?

When I use iTunes to download missing album art, that art is not being saved in the MP3 file. I verified this behavior by checking that the file timestamp and size didn't change after the art was successfully downloaded and displayed within iTunes. As a second check, I also deleted the music from my library and re-added it, and the art work is missing again.
Only if I drag the jpg image to the blank artwork window does it seem to "stick".
Any ideas? Thanks.

Yes, if you download album art through iTunes and then later manually add art to the tag, the downloaded version is replaced. I think it still remains in the folder on your computer, but it does get replaced in the native song file. What I'll do is download the artwork from iTunes, then copy it and paste it directly into the tag for a permanent "attachment" to the song.

[iOS] Album art not showing for offline tracks

Thread: 921107 915479 934743 970825 968593 966641 971447 937227

Workaround:
None
Additional information:
If you are having this issue, could you please let us know:
Model of device and iOS version
Whether the affected playlist contains only local files, a mixture or is all streaming only content
Any particular artists/tracks being affected
Format of the local file including encoder (if known)
Thanks!

How come itunes does not get all album arts works reply asap thanks

like for
kayne west- graduation album
it doesnt download the album artwork for it
but for others it gets it
i mean the album is already in itunes store
whats going on
can you link me the contact page for itunes store

iTunes will connect to Apple's servers to get the album art. As for iTunes not getting the art for all your albums, I don't know why this happens. Usually this happens if the albums are not on the iTunes store - but your case seems to be different.
Here's what I do: If you really want your cover art, you can use Google's image search to manually download it. In iTunes' grid view, right-click on the album in question, click "Get Info" and then say "Yes". In the Info tab, double click on the white box under "Artwork" (in the lower right corner) and manually navigate over to your artwork file. Select it, press open or double click, then click OK. Since you selected the whole album, iTunes will embed the artwork into all the files on your album. The next time you sync, it will also appear on your device(s).
Have a good time getting your artwork! Hope this helps
Edit: There may be times when iTunes will not edit your files after you click OK. This may be a problem with the permissions of the folder where your files are located. Let me know if this happens.

Podcast album art not showing

We just created a podcast feed and have not been able to get the Album art to show up. I contacted iTunes Store Support and they were unable to help and directed me to this forum.
As far as I can tell, our feed is correctly formed, but the album art still isn't displaying. I've read that a number of users have had problems with this? If someone from Apple is monitoring this forum, could you please help? Our podcast feed is: http://www.pky.com/prs/prs-podcasts/prs-podcast-feed.aspx
Thanks.

Also have this problem. Any help is appreciated.

Album art not showing consistently on iPhone *lockscreen*

iTunes occasionally has trouble with album art, especially after syncs or updates (album art disappearing, or being reshuffled to the wrong mp3s, etc.).
The current problem is different. Normally, with the iPhone's (iPod) music playing, the album art will replace the wallpaper on the lock screen. Lately, this feature has stopped being consistent. Some tracks will display album art on the lock screen, some won't. Those that won't, do have album art embedded (100% certain of this). In one instance, the album art displayed was a mishmash of two different albums' art (again, only on the lock screen). Editing the mp3s to reinsert the album art in iTunes, and then re-syncing, has not solved the problem.
This is probably an issue with how iTunes is handling/editing those mp3s affected, or it may be an iPhone bug. There's nothing outstanding about the specific tracks in question - in every other way they appear to be normal (write enabled, and album art showing in track info).
This problem only occurs @ the lock screen. In iPod view, and album view, display of the album art is normal for all tracks.
I have noticed this also happening with other audio sources (ie, third party audio streaming apps, which normally show some kind of album art @the lock screen).
Thanks for any feedback.

I too have been having this issue & I've read the articles, advices & other discussions, but none of them fixes this issue. I reboot & still see the wrong album art on the lock screen. It is very annoying especially when you have iTunes with software that was purchased to "automajically" present the correct album artwork. For those of us who actually precise about how our libraries are organized this is a big deal. You spends hours days in keeping things organized, just for the sync to not resemble the labor...
I have both the iPhone 4 & an iPod Touch 2nd gen. You'd think Apple would get stuff like this together before approving it for an update. No one can convince me different... Apple & Windows now both have the same MO! Get a new team of testers.

Album Art not appearing on iPhone

For the life of me, I cannot change the songs from "Abbey Road" to appear as that album on my iPhone. By that I mean each individual song will have the album art when played, but in my list of albums, "Abbey Road" will appear blank. That, is, not the blue music note, but actually just white space. It's not a matter of the tracks not having identical info, as they do. I have repeatedly selected them all, got the info and made sure they have the same album title, band name, image for artwork. I have also tried removing the folder from the iTunes music library, then adding it to my library again, variations of this, etc. The files themselves will all look uniform with the album art if I go into Finder, etc. I tried renaming the album with jibberish like "AAAAAAAA" and it will work. Everything will be perfect...track names, artist info, album art....but then the second I go and change the jibberish to the words "Abbey Road," it gives me the white space again on my iPhone.

SOLUTION: After 48 hours, 100% of the artwork is now appearing. If it's in iTunes, it's on the iPhone.
However, there's a few hoops I jumped through to make it all work:
In iTunes, if album art is not showing in the Grid view, buy you know you have album art associated with it, select Get Info on any of the tracks. Magically, the album art appears in Grid view. Repeat for all albums with missing art.
When you're all done with the art, in iTunes, select [store] [update iTunes Match]
Wait 24 hours
It appears that the iPhone processor is not fast enough to display album art quickly with a large library. On my iPhone it takes about 10 seconds to load a full page of artwork in Album view. If you're flipping quickly through your library, expect it to take a while to catch up. It appears that album art is loaded via an Internet connection, because they do not load in Airplane mode. So, it seems that the robustness of this UI depends on your Internet connection.
Project is closed in my book.
Good luck with yours!

Embedded Album Art not Displaying Showing in Windows Explorer

Trying To Clean up my Music Collection using windows explorer. Embedding album art works fine for MP3's yet it is not replacing the (film/file/musicnote/baloon/) icon for Mpeg4 - M4A files.
What annoying is that the embedded art may be present but I can't tell just by looking at the individual files. how can I get confirmation outside of loading up itunes?
is it possible for me to get the embedded art to display in place of the file icon in windows explorer for these file types? if so, how?

It only happens wih some files, and I can't seem to find out what the correlation is.
If I take a series of mp3s where the album art cannot be displayed in iTunes but can in MediaMonkey or, extract the album art from the the tag through MediaMonkey (iTunes artwork fetching usually gives me poor results), and then assign the album art through iTunes, yes the album art does appear to be saved and displayed through iTunes. But that's a process.
Additionally, if I reassign the artwork in MediaMonkey (not readding it, just reapplying the assignment to all selected items) the artwork will show up in iTunes.
I'm going to play around with Mp3Tag and see if that yields anything.

Album art not importing

I have gigs of wma files on my PC that have the album art associated. When I convert the files in Itumes it does not pick up the album art. I can manually copy the album art after the conversion, but is there a way it should just copy over?
Also if I use a CD and import directly from it, Itunes also does not get any album art from the CD. (the same CD will bring over album art in Windows Media Player). What is necessary to make ITunes see/find/copy the album art?
Thanks

So are you saying that ITunes does not import the artwork of any CDs that you rip (your own CD collection). So in order to get my 400 plus CDs into my IPOD with artwork I would have to manually find the files on line and paste into the Get Info. All this no matter what setting or file format?
Yep.
Thanks for the help, but i am not looking for additional software tools have to manage the artwork seperately, I would expect that Itunes can copy the artwork during the rip just like Windows Media Player does. Doesn't seem like a far out expectation.
You can have all the expectations in the world. Doesn't change the facts of the matter.
Windows Media Player gets the album artwork because Microsoft went to a lot of trouble and set up a deal with AMG specifically to be able to use their datasets for importing and other such stuff. It goes to the internet and retrieves info from windowsmedia.com, which is a Microsoft webserver hooked to AMG's database, essentially.
Apple went with Gracenote instead, which has a much more limited amount of data (which they stole from the rightful owners of that information in the formation of the company).
Short of it is that iTunes does not automatically get album art from anywhere. iTunes can't even get track names unless you specifically use iTunes to rip the CD. If you rip the CD elsewhere, import it into iTunes, iTunes can't go lookup the track info on Gracenote. WMP can do that just fine.
In many ways, Windows Media Player is far superior to iTunes. Don't act so shocked.
If you must use iTunes, I highly suggest getting a program called Tag&Rename. It will let you lookup albums after ripping them and it will get the album art from Amazon. Tag&Rename will then allow you to add the art to the files in a way that is fully compatible with iTunes. It works pretty well.

How to get bigger album art?? And how to change iTunes 10 font??

Hiya!!
I just wanna know is there any chance to get a bigger album art in this window:
[IMG]http://i55.tinypic.com/2wcjsk9.jpg[/IMG]
I know that there was a way to get bigger album art in iTunes 9, but after recent iTunes update there's no way to get a bigger album art in this window!!
And the second question is that how do i change the font in iTunes 10?? In iTunes 9 it was iTunes.ttf and iTunes Bold.ttf, but non of those fonts are not working in iTunes 10.

The easiest way I have found to get acceptable album art is to go to Amazon music and copy and paste their album art into your Itunes info. Most, but not all, come up with very good quality and right size (large) As far as the font I have no idea.
I got the impression that the original poster was meaning that that wanted iTunes to display the album artwork at a larger size in the list view, not that the artwork itself needed to be bigger. The iTunes Store already provided 600x600 pixels artwork (Amazon only provides 500x500 pixels) so I don't think that is the problem.
I am not aware of a way of altering the list view to show the artwork bigger, but one can show the artwork in its own window at full size by turning on the 'show artwork for selected item' in the bottom left of the iTunes window, and then double-clicking on it to open it in its own window. It is also the case the other different views, like coverflow show the artwork at a bigger size than the list view.

Determining what metadata will get specific album art from iTunes Store

How can I determine what metadata will get specific album art from the iTunes Store?
e.g., I have some tracks with correct metadata for the album "International Herb" by the band "Culture". This album is listed under the same artist & title in the iTunes Store, but getting the album art for these tracks results in an Artwork for "Culture - International Herb" could not be found warning message.
Alternatively, is there some function where I can apply the album art for the album that I am currently viewing in the iTunes Store to tracks selected in iTunes? (if this feature doesn't exist, it would be great if Apple added it)
Thanks.

I always thought it was just Artist + Album, but if the tracks are out of order or the durations are too different, it is possible that it is seeing it as a different version = no match.
It will be faster to find the image from another source (thanks web search) and just drag or paste it into the Album Info panel.
