Pulling album art from PC to itunes

is there a manual way (or even better automatic) of pulling the album artwork from my PC music library files to itunes? after having converted my entire PC music library, I am lacking most album art covers...i do have an itunes account but it did not update many covers either...help appreciated.

Yes, there's a manual way. Select the whole album in your iTunes library. Make sure the artwork box is visible (Ctrl-G) in the lower left corner. Drag a JPEG from somewhere else on your PC or from a website over to the artwork box. ITunes will apply that artwork to every file selected. To save file space, I think if you apply it only to the first track it will still show up for all tracks of the album. This way every file won't have the JPEG embedded; only the first file will.
I've read in Discussions about third-party utilities that automates this process, but I don't remember any names, and it is bound to make the same kind of mismatching mistakes that iTunes' built-in feature makes.

  • Can i just take the album art from itunes store w/out buying

    ???
    can i just copy paste?

    Hi chaps,
    I'm a bit fussing about my album art, like to have all my tunes with their respective covers on my nano!
    Anyway, I use a program called iTunes Art Importer, which runs alongside iTunes (although 3rd party, not Apple).
    Its dead simple to use, it pulls the art from Amazon. Just highlight your track (or tracks)and click search. I find using the "overide search text" works really well for not so well known music, just keep the search simple.
    Anyway, here's the link, it's free, give it a try!

  • ITunes 9.0.2 rejects album art from Safari drag source

    When editing audio tracks in iTunes 9.0.2 (25), I find that I can no longer directly drag and drop album art from remote Internet-based source in Safari into the album art space when I get info on tracks. The drag and drop operation signals that it receptive to the drop action by displaying a target rectangle around the album art space, but the album art refuses to copy to the files. The workaround is to drag the image file from Safari to the Finder desktop, then drag it from the desktop to the album art spot in iTunes.
    Can anyone else confirm this bug?

    This is the post I did a few days back:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2215713&tstart=0
    Roy B suggested you can drag the artwork from Safari directly to the lower left corner of the main iTunes window. There are two inconvenience problems:
    (1) You have to be playing the song in order to drag the artwork.
    (2) Because it si located in the lower left, I always have to move iTunes window over in order to drag the artwork from Safari.

  • 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.

  • Update embedded Album Art from iTunes Store?

    Missing Album Art is automatically added to my iTunes library. Excellent!
    But I have a large number of albums/songs with embedded album art of low quality (200x200). Is there a way to update these without having to manually delete the old Album Art for each song individually?
    Is there a way to embed the album art from iTunes into the mp3-files instead of storing them externally (in the iTunes Album Art directory?) Probably not........

    Is there a way to update these without having to manually delete the old Album Art for each song individually?
    Well, you don't have to do it individually -- you can select all the songs for which you want to delete, right-click and select "Get Info", then check the Artwork box, then click OK. This will delete all the artwork for those songs (permanently!)
    Is there a way to embed the album art from iTunes into the mp3-files instead of storing them externally (in the iTunes Album Art directory?)
    I have a script to do just that. You have to download it first (say, to your Desktop)
    http://teridon.googlepages.com/itunesinsertartwork.vbs
    Then you have to run it using the Command Prompt:
    1) Bring up a command prompt (Start..All Programs..Accessories..Command Prompt)
    2) Enter these commands:<pre>cd Desktop
    cscript itunesinsertartwork.vbs</pre>
    3) Select the playlist (or select the whole Library with "1") which contains the songs for which you want to embed the artwork.
    NOTE:Embedding artwork will cause your files to take up more hard drive space because for downloaded artwork iTunes only needs one copy. Embedding the artwork makes a copy of the artwork for every song with that artwork. Artwork files from the iTMS are typically 400-500 KB each.

  • Getting album art from iTunes Store...

    I have an extensive music library on an external HD, but most songs are/were in 'wma' format. On loading iTunes, it spent 36 hours converting these to AAC (m4a) format, but it didn't bring the album art over. Now I have a perfect music collection, doubled in size, which I can view in Windows Media Player (with all the album art) or in iTunes (without any album art).
    Unfortunately, we who live in South Africa are not allowed to download album art from the iTunes Store, so I cannot restore the artwork...and every time I try to access the Store from inside iTunes, it bombs out - but I can access the iTunes site on any normal web browser (usually Mozilla).
    So what now???

    Sorry, but as you've discovered, you cannot get album art from the iTunes Store without an account, and being a South African resident, there's no way for you to open an account. There are, however, many other ways of getting album art. Just search the web for something like "iTunes album art" and you should find a number of utilities, suggestions for sources and instructions on how to proceed.
    Regards.

  • IPhone album art from iTunes not downloading

    Recently, I have not been able to get my album art from iTunes to download to my phone. It appears in my iTunes on my computer, but will not transfer. It also will not appear on my phone when I purchase the music FROM my phone, but appears in my computer's iTunes. I've reset my phone, but the problem continues. This problem has only been happening for about the last two months and I've had my phone over a year. (iPhone 4, Verizon)

    the album covers are fine on itunes on my computer, but on my iphone they don't work. as in, when I sync my iphone to itunes, it switches the covers around to different covers. it seems to be random.

  • Transferring Album Art from a Mac to a Windows PC

    I have iTunes on both my Mac and Windows PC- with the same library on both.
    I found a great utility called Curator that found all my missing album art on the Mac, but it only works on the Mac, not the PC
    So after spending a day finding all my missing album art on the Mac, I thought that simply copying the Album Art folder from my Mac to my Windows PC would enable me see all my art on my windows machine.
    This did not work. I still have the same missing album covers.
    I tried removing all Album Art from my PC (by selecting "Clear Downloaded Artwork" and then I selected all my music and chose "Get Album Artwork".
    This put back all my original album art but none of the new artwork downloaded by Curator.
    Does anyone know how to get iTunes to see all the Album Art in the Album art folder that I just copied from my Mac?

    Diane is correct — the artwork you downloaded is embedded in the music files, so the only way to transfer the art is by transferring the files. Is there a reason you don't want to just copy your entire iTunes library from the Mac to the PC?
    I don't know why dragging the artwork into the artwork box would result in a lower-quality image. What do you see when you click on the artwork box to open a full-size version? Is the picture 300x300 or better?

  • Album art from other countries?

    Hi,
    I have a lot of Britpop albums that aren't recognized by iTunes in America, but are recognized by iTunes UK. Is there any way I can download the album art from iTunes UK?

    Get it from http://www.amazon.co.uk/
    Find the album you want. Copy the album cover and paste it into your iTunes as Diane described.

  • Why is the album art from our iTunesU site not downloading with the content?

    Recently, the album art from our iTunes U site has not been downloading with the content. We have tried downloading content from other pages and we get the album art, but when we download out own content the album art does not download with the files. The art appears in the iTunes store so there should not be a problem with the files.  Any idea why this is happening?

  • Album Art not displaying in iTunes

    I have several mp3s where the album art does not display in iTunes, it does, however, display when I use other software such as MediaMonkey or foobar2000.  The album artowork is stored in the tag.  I've tried retagging them within iTunes, but it doesn't always work and is a time consuming process.  I've also tried removing the ID3v1 tag portion from the file and leave just the ID3v2.3 tag, but no success either.  Any thoughts?

    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 from cds

    If u buy a song off itunes it shows the album art but if u put a cd on itunes is there neway to get the album art from the cd?
    The other posters gave good information, but didn't answer your basic question: No, you can't get the album art from the CD because it isn't there. A CD usually only contains the .cda files. Some CDs also have computer programs on them, but this is rare.

  • TS1815 download album art not available thru itunes

    How do you download album art not available in iTunes store.
    I could copy and paste in the older version but not since the latest update
    I'm using windows
    Thanks Mark pianoman

    I, too, relied on the name of the iTunes library being displayed on the top header bar of the iTunes window. I have 2 iTunes libraries that I go back and forth on all the time, and now I really have to look at the contents to figure out which library I'm in at any given moment.  What a pain!!  And what a stupid move to diminish functionality, Apple.  You folks have been doing this more all the time lately -- taking away perfected functionality -- and either deleting it or changing it just for the sake of a new look.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!  Please! 
    A good example of that is the dim grey text in all too much Apple everything these days.  Black is beautiful, please!  And especially useful in reading!!  And, apparently, enough people thought so, too, since I see black text is back in iTunes 11.  It went grey, and you heard from enough people that that was something no one should have changed.  Well, as the Gipper said: Here you go again!  Bring back the Library Name.  You've got plenty of room; you don't need to put it in another vertical space -- just put in in line with the other stuff you've got there.  Put it left of the "Search Library."  That would be fine.  But, just do it!

  • Removing Album Art From Zen V P

    This being my first portable media player I've been experimenting. I managed to add some album art for one album via Creative Media Explorer. I think the full screen picture is good but I don't like the miniature picture which seems the default on the Now Playing Screen. It pushes too much text off-screen. I guess there's no way to remove the mini-picture and just retain the possibility of keeping the full screen picture. Also, I can't find a way to remove the album art. Media Explorer doesn't seem to offer this option. How can I get rid of the Album Art. Do I have to delete the whole album from the player and reimport it's
    Thanks,
    ZP

    There's no way that I know of to remove album art from files on your player, but one of the easiest ways to remove art from files on your pc is to use Album Cover Art Downloader. You can have it located a folder and then select all and removae album art from all your files. Then you can re-transfer them back to the player.
