Problem With Album Art

I spent a few hours organizing my songs and I also added some album art, but when I synced my iPod, the album art only appears on some albums (2 out of 15). This album art does appear on iTunes, it just dosent work on my iPod.
The images are JPEG/JPG and GIF.
Please help;

Compatability Problem with Album Art and iTunes in Vista?

Hi there,
I have album art for all of my music which I have added myself. (I prefer to do so instead of iTunes doing it for me.) However, after purchasing a new computer using Vista, I've encountered a problem.
When I drag and drop my music into iTunes, only about half of the album art shows up. The rest either isn't loaded or isn't identified by iTunes, even though I know it's there.
In fact, you can see the album art icon associated with each file when it's organized in its folder on my C: drive. But again, for some reason, much of it isn't loading when I open the files into iTunes.
I never had this problem using XP. Is it a compatability issue or is there a simple fix I'm unaware of? I'd really appreciate any help!!
Thanks,
Michael

Alright, my apologies, Chris. I don't think I explained myself clearly enough. The files are embedded with the music (these are the same music files that worked just fine in XP.)
The artwork isn't separate from the actual music file. When you click on the actual music file, you see the ICON associated with the file, and it's the artwork. I suppose that's just a new Vista feature.
However, I embedded all of the album covers myself, and again, they worked just fine in iTunes with XP. But for some reason, only about half of the album art is being recognized by iTunes even though it's embedded into the actual tag.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Problems with Album Art flow

I have Windows Vista, and it's on an excellent machine, (for example) I can run Oblivion on the highest graphical specs with no lag. However, my iTunes cover art, or my album art is slow, even when there is no album art. I tried reinstalling itunes and I've tried searching the internet for help, but I haven't seen any answers.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have the same problem and I don't think he's talking about the loading time for the library to show up... I have 6982 songs, around 20 videos and around 500 pics. It always worked fine and cover flow was very fast. I still have the same number of files but itunes is sluggish and even video playback gets chopped. I updated my iTunes to 7.5 from 7.3.2.6. to try to fix this. I installed directshow video codec package and I'm not sure if that was what caused the problem in the first place or meybe a new install of Office. I uninstalled all codecs and new plugins in my system. What could it be?

Problem with album art on apple tv 2 since IOS 5

hey
since i installed ios 5 on my ipad and apple tv 2 i have the problem that my album artwork does not appear starting from song 2 of the album
when i airplay with my ipad, the first song of an album has album art, starting from the second song, the album art suddenly dissapears

I have the exact same problem also - very frustrating given that it was working perfectly before I updated to IOS 5. strangely enough, the artwork displays for the first track you select within each album, so if you create a playlist and select one track from each album this would display the album artwork correctly and no problem exists. If you decided to skip from track 1 to another track within the album the artwork is not displayed? I have an iPhone which works fine when I use this to play music through apple TV so for me the issue is with the iPad update software and it must be a glitch or error in the recent update. I would really appreciate any tips to fix this issue as it bugging the **** out of me!!! Apple - get yer finger out and fix this!!!

Problems with album art copying to ipod touch

I got a 2nd generation ipod touch for christmas and am having some problems with the album art. I have all of the album art set up in itunes, and when I right click on a song and tell it to 'get info' it shows the album art picture fine (in my itunes library as well as in my ipod's music library), but when the song is actually playing on the ipod the screen is just blank. It isn't just the white background with the music notes like a song with no album art at all, it's just a black screen. When I flip the ipod sideways and browse through the albums all of the album art shows up except for a few which are blank as well. Anybody know why this is happening? Another weird thing is that the album art will show up for maybe one or two songs in the album, but the vast majority are just showing a blank black screen with no picture. Anyone else having this problem?

"And now I can't get rid of that cover w/o deleting the whole songlist."
are you sure? if you go to either album info (right clicking on the album in grid view) and double clicking in the album art section, you should be able to use any picture you have saved on your machine by navigating to that picture. OR right clicking individual tracks, then get info, and going to 'artwork', and then deleting it there (you might have to delete them all individually, but it beats having the wrong art there)

Problem with album art in iTunes 7!

Ok I tried doing a search for this topic and came up with a lot of threads that didn't really answer my question so if this has been asked, my apologies....
The problem I'm having with iTunes 7 currently is that I go into the iPod Preferences and I un-check the box to include Album Art on the iPod to remove all artwork and then check it again to restore artwork. Now what happens is that iTunes does remove album art from the iPod but when I check the box to restore artwork it doesn't do crap! I did this exact thing several times to no avail, all of my album art that formerly was on the iPod is now gone and I can't get it back on despite the art being in the tags in iTunes.
***?? Why is this not working, what am I missing here? If I'm not missing anything here and I find out I gotta re-install or do some weird funky thing with iTunes to get the album art to work I'm going to be majorly disappointed with this crap of a release! Please tell me it's just me and that I'm not doing the right thing to restore my album art to the iPod!

I have the same exact problem stated above. Since the v.7 release, my album art displays incorrectly on my iPod. The strangest thing is that my device never displays the same WRONG album art twice - it's always something different. The other day was very interesting...every single song I played displayed the same exact album cover. Today at least the art is changing around a bit but still, the art is wrong! Wow. I reset my iPod and started from scratch - nothing happened. I feel like my iPod is on vacation. "Oh, you want art? Hold on...How about this one? No?...ok...How about this one?." If you can hear me Apple, please fix this.

Having problems with Album Art

When I transfer music to my Pre the album art only shows up in "photos", there are no thumbnails in the "music" card.The pre seems to automatically make 3 extra copies too, so If I transfer an album to my music foler, not only will I get no thumbnail in my music, but I will get 4 copies of the album cover in my photos. Anybody help with this?
Post relates to: Pre p100ueu (O2)

How are you transferring your music? Are you using a sync program like DoubleTwist, an older version of iTunes, or dragging & dropping your music manually?

Problem with album art... Please help

Hello, I put all my album art on all my songs which took forever last week. I updated my ipod last week and everything was all right with the album art on it. I updated it today, but now, all my album art on my ipod the same picture. On itunes, though, the album art is correct. How can I fix this without having to re-do my whole library!?? I updated my Ipod software and downloaded the latest itunes. Please help me.. Thanks so much in advance...

The easy quick thing to do IF the album art work is correct on iTUnes, is to just reset the iPod by holding down the center button and menu, if that doesn't work use the latest iPod updater (2006-03-23) and just restore it
Restore will wipe the iPod clean, but you can just sync it again with iTUnes and have everything loaded back on and hopfully with the correct art

Problems with album art!!!!

I had previously added album art to my 8 and a half thousand tracks on my 60gb video ipod and last night while syncing I got a unknown error of -50 and I lost all of my album art from the ipod.
I went into my prefs in Itunes and switched off display album art, re synced the ipod where during the process it said it was deleting album art. I then went to prefs switched back on album art and proceded to update the ipod, but again I got the same error.
there is 1.5 gigs free on the ipod.
Any ideas?

Make sure everything is up to date...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
If that doesn't work, you may need to restore the iPod...
Restore the iPod
And reload everything.

Problems with Album Shuffle

Hi all.
I have a problem with Album Shuffle mode. Basically, I am trying to listen to my albums, but it will start treating songs from the same album as being from different albums. I have tried editing the info of the tracks to be identical in every way, I have even used the multiple editing feature, and they are in the same folder in my iTunes Music library. I am stuck with what to do, as I really like the album shuffle feature and don't want to have to manually choose the next album and such. Can you guys help at all? Would be very grateful for any advice

I tinkered with it a little more, and no idea HOW I fixed it, but it's working now. Maybe had something to do with genres.

I need a simple program to convert flac files to mp3 with album art

Is there a fairly simple program that will convert files and imbed album art by track? All of my music files are flac with album art included in the album folder.

Not sure of any software that will do the conversion and automatically embed album art, but LameDropXPD is a free, super-simple drag and drop conversion tool that will accept flac input: http://www.rarewares.org/mp3-lamedrop.php#lamedrop-current and MP3Tag (also free) has an option to do batch embedding of album art.

"Double Images" with Album Art

I occasionally see "double images" using Apple TV where the previous screen is overlaid with album art...Has anyone else had this issue? A reboot solves it, but only temporarily.
Screenshot is attached. Thanks!

Hi T-Shirt11's Products,
Thanks for the screen shot, very descriptive.
That looks like the first symptom in this article.

Problem opening album-art as could be done with previous iTunes versions

Issue Description:
In previous versions of iTunes you had an icon of the album-art bottom left of screen when you were playing the song. If you clicked the album-art icon it would open into its own window and you could stretch it as large as either the image dimensions allowed or as large as your monitor allowed.
I always use custom album art.
With iTunes 11, I cannot find any way of achieving the same thing. All we get at best is a 2 cm large album-art icon at best which if you click it starts the album from the beginning.
Question: Surely there is a way to achieve what was achievable with earlier iTunes versions with an ability to open and stretch the album-art so you can view it up large? If so how is it done now?
As it is, a 2cm icon of album-art is totally pointless and removes all interest in album-art. I prefer looking at album-art than the visualizer things which don't interest me. I'm probably from the old-school of vinyl records where album art was actually something to look forward to and some artists put a lot of effort into their album designs. I also put a lot of effort into custom album-art designs for personal use.
I cannot seem to find similar questions/answers on this comminity board.

Thanks for your replies. I forgot to mention about the mini-player which I had tried. But the artwork is still very limited in size. But at least a little bigger than the icon lol. I have the old 30 inch Mac monitor, so having artwork I can spread across the screen can be great. (Especially when it's my own artwork lol)
I totally agree with those views in the link you gave. Too many to repeat except that iTunes has become very cluttered. I first used iTunes in OS 9 or was it OS 8 I can't remember. I don't think it appeared until OS 9. And some files I ripped and backed up as audio files back then are unrecognisable on OSX.
VLC is a third the size but can play almost anything under the sun. XLD is only 19 MB but can "rip ('properly' without ignoring errors like iTunes does) and convert" at audiophile quality for numerous audio formats and includes LAME for mp3. Vox, great miniature app (5 MB) to play most audiio file types but lacks a proper library system for ease of browsing what you may wish to play at any moment in time. Find me an OSX audio app with a decent library system & I will probably change. ATunes a java audio app does not give me any sound lol. It has a messy library system anyway. But its ability to play FLAC and import the iTunes library was appealing.
The ol' downgrade iTunes version trick. Yeah tried that a couple of times over the years. Should have learnt the first time. Not sure iTunes' designers change the library formatting on purpose in an attempt to prevent downgrading.
I will follow your advice about the Feedback. Thanks again.

Problem with album images (firmware 2.2)

I recently upgraded my iPod Touch (1st generation) to firmware 2.2, and I've been having a problem with my album images. Some of my album images appear black in cover flow and when I'm playing a song from the album. However, in cover flow, I can see the image when it appears at an angle (not the main album I'm looking at). There are also some albums that are the opposite - the image is viewable when you're looking at that album but is not visible from an angle in cover flow.
I've been able to fix some albums by re-copying the songs over to my iPod and then copying the cover art. But then that will mess up some albums that I had fixed previously.
This is very frustrating. Has anyone had this issue and found a way around it?

I have the same setup and the same situation. It would be nice to have fixed.(Maybe in 2.3)
Sorry I don't have an answer but if i find one I'll post it.

Non-iTunes downloaded songs are becoming corrupted, starting with album art

I have Windows Vista, and I just got a new refurbished iPod touch 64gb 5th gen.
For some reason, songs that I have downloaded (not from iTunes) are becoming corrupted?? some are even old songs I have downloaded months ago but most of this seems to be with songs stuff I haven downloaded recently. This literally just happened yesterday. The album art is showing up on iTunes as half downloaded or with a broken, glitchy bar after I sync to my iPod. Then, most of those songs are corrupted, making those skipping noises in the song. What is even stranger is that most of these messed up songs are ONLY messed up on iTunes, on my iPod they're fine, but then some of them get corrupted on both. I use a "Passport" EXTERNAL hard drive, could there be a problem with that?? Everything I have downloaded is saved to that external hard drive and like I said, even some of the old songs I downloaded months, even years ago are having the album art problem and some of them the sound quality corruption.
I tried restarting and re downloading iTunes hitting the "repair" option, but I think this may be the external hard drives problem?
Does anyone know what I should do? Am I asking this question in the correct place?

I can't seem to get album art to download into some of my songs. I compare my song information with the information that's in the iTunes music store & it matches word for word but it won't download the art. I can understand if iTunes didn't have the album but they do & the art wont download at all. I click "get album art" so many times & nothing shows up.
