Removing album art work from standard HTC music player + shuffle issue

Hey Everyone,
My apologies if this has already been posted but I am having 2 issues with the music player....
1) is there a way for the album artwork NOT to load/display for the phones standard music player? Not a major issues compared to the other (and plentiful) issues related to 2.2 but I imagine with no album artwork there would be more available memory, and regardless of the artist all my songs (1800+) have the same album artwork ...that may be related to how they were listed on my PC but either way, I do not want the album artwork to display.
Is there a way to delete the album artwork from the phone? I know there are other music players out there, but the standard player is preferrable
2) is anyone else experiencing an issue with the Shuffle option? As mentioned before I have 1800+ songs on my memory card but when I have the shuffle on, it seems to play only the same subset of songs. For example, the first song that came on was "Elysian Fields-Sugarplum Arches" but after that song was complete, I scrolled thru about 7 songs and that song came up again.
Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks!

I have the same issue with one particular album cover that seems to get assigned to a huge portion of the albums that were fine prior to 2.2 but now they are identified as Unknown. I have deleted the album and songs that is written to all the other songs/ablums and it still uses its picture when I reload the other songs/albums.
I even have albums that seem to be correct (picture and songs match album) but they get stuffed in the Unknown album folder.

Up loading album art work from the net problem

Just recently, I keep getting " unknown error - 609 " every time I go for up loading album art work from the net. This applies to all the albums not just the really obscure ones ! and its just the art work because I can still get all the track listings.

Actually I experienced the same thing but it's not an issue of missing artwork in the wi fi store. The reason I say this is that when initially purchased the artwork showed fine on the device.
After syncing it also shows fine in ITunes. When checking the device again though, it seems to display random art from the library for that track. In cover flow, if not the center image, i displays what i can best describe as a color static image in the place of the album art.

Removing album art from X-fi2

Hi,
Anyone know how to remove album art from the X-fi2? I've got a lot of wrongly-associated art and I'd like to delete it: there isn't any art for the tracks I want to change.
I've tried Centrale, but the art does not show up in either album or artists listings--just the generic album icon. Nor can I get it under the tag editing properties: just the generic icon again. The "change" option is available in both cases, but "remove" is greyed out.
I can see the art using WMP, but that doesn't seem to have an option for removing it.
Thanks.

!Album art can be either embedded on audio files or stored on a jpeg file on the same directory where music files reside. Never used Creative Centrale, but it is logical to me thinking that a greyed out "remove button" means that the art is not embedded as it cannot be removed from the audio files. I would suggest looking for a *.jpg file that contains the album art and remove or rename it.

How can I copy and paste the art work from album covers?

How can I copy and paste the art work from album covers?

I don't think the list style transfers. Copy and paste the text in to Mail, select it and then choose "Insert Numbered List" as a work around.

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,

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.

I Can't See My Music List because of the dammed album art work.

It wasn't like this before the 7 update. When I play music on my iPhone 4, I see the list initially, then all of a sudden the album art work hi jacks the entire screen. I can fin no way to get back to music list. Why does Apple keep going backwards on this stuff. Quit re-inventing things when they work fine. I went in settings and checked "Show only music downloaded to this device" but it didn't change anything.
Can someone help me with ths rediculous problem?

Removing album art from MP3s on the Z

I've been reading around on the forums and haven't found a definiti've for my problem.
The problem that I have is when I transfer MP3s to my Zen Vision:M, these MP3s somehow get edited with album art. The original files show no evidence of album art, as I have tried numerous programs to try to find it and delete it. Windows Media Player 0, MusicMatch, iTunes, and a few other programs show that these files do not contain album art, yet when I transfer these files to my ZVM they somehow get embedded with album art.
I tried using the Media Explorer to delete the album art once the files are transferred to the ZVM, but you can't edit it. I set Media Explorer to show the album art, but you can't right click or do anything on the album art that is shown.
Does anyone have any solutions to this? Somehow the album art isn't placed onto the file until I transfer onto the ZVM. And it only adds album art to files which have have no album information in its tag or has album art.

You can use Zortam MP3 Media Studio 6.0 to remove album art that is in the ID3 tag. It cost around $25, but it seems to be a good program.

Itunes hangs after just listening to music with Album Art work turned on.

I have been having issues with iTunes hanging and I have to open up task manager and kill the process. It doesn't Hang my system, only iTunes. I have noticed that the itune's process is taking up about 1.4 GB of memory and that each time it hangs it is around that amount. I have almost 38,000 Songs in my iTunes folder and I have album Art work for all of them. Is there some limitation on the amount of Art work? If I turn off the Art work it will run all day long with no problem.

Not necessarily. I was asking that cause iTunes match will upload album artwork for the first track of a CD and it wont display until after you play the track you want artwork to display for. As far as it not displaying when being synced via iTunes, I am sorry but I don't have any idea.

How to correct album art work on iPhone 4

On my iPhone 4 music app. I have the wrong album art work on the wrong songs

OK Gang... Since I didn't get a resolution here I decided to forego the 30 minute hold time and called Apple support. (I was just tired of seeing Prince's face on my James Taylor album!).
Here is how to resolve this issue:
In iTunes, select your phone and choose the 'Music' tab
Unselect 'Sync music' then click 'Apply' (basically sync again)
All your music should be removed from your iPhone at this point
Now select the 'Sync music' option again and sync again
Good luck

Album art work on iPhone issue

Recently I removed all the music from my iPhone 4S and stared from scratch. 99% of my Music in my iTunes has album art work and it's really helpful for me when look for a song on my phone cause I remember what the cover looks like. After a put music back on my iPhone a lot of my albums don't have there art work displayed. I have also come to notice that it only from some of my purchased song from iTunes and does it. I thought IOS6 would fix this but it didn't. Is there anyway this can be fix without restoring my phone and starting from complete scratch? It also seems to be happening on my iPod Touch (4th Gen) and my NEW iPad..
Thanks!

Itunes 10.5 lost album art work

When I turn on Itunes after updating to 10.5, I've lost 20% of my Album Art work, and when I tell I tunes to find it, it dosn't. Anyone else having that issue?

I wanted to post this to try to help other people out there who are frustrated with the Album Art and other iTunes issues. This information builds on things I learned in past iTunes versions, but this is mostly about iTunes 10.5.1, and iOS 5.0.1. I ran in to all these problems after I updated iTunes and the iPod, and a BIG mistake I made is I have not been keeping up with backing up iTunes. I had three problems, I was missing songs, I was missing album art, and I had a problem with one of my apps I just updated. I had to find a way to find an earlier version of that app, Snaplink Mobile, and then revert to back to it. But that's another issue that doesn't affect most people, so back to the music issues. I'm not saying this will fix everyone's situations, but this will probably work for most of us. I read all the posts from people who lost all their album art. I had to do the below and 2-3 syncs before I saw most of my art back.
First, I had to find a way to get ALL the music off of both iTunes and the iPod. I can't emphasize enough what a mistake it is to reset the iPod or iTunes to factory settings before you try everything else! There were 3 videos I brought that only existed on the iPod after I reset iTunes, and if I had reset both the iPod and iTunes before thinking, I would have lost them.
So, what happened was, it is not that clear in iTunes 10.5, you have to go to the iPod tab, then the music tab, and uncheck the box that says "sync music", then at the bottom hit apply. This does not erase your music, it just removes it from iTunes. Then on the iPod, version 5.0.1, I had to go to Settings, then General, then Usage, then Music, and then there's a hidden delete button for the music. Under "all music," sweep your finger across the right side of the all music bar, and the hidden delete button will appear.
Then, it took 2-3 sync's to finally get both the iPod and the iTunes with no music. Then, I re-checked "sync music" on iTunes and on sync, all my music was back on the iPod. Then on iTunes, I clicked "consolidate library" and it copies (it does not move) all your music in to the iTunes music folder in one place. Now all my music was back, but still a lot of art issues, so on to that.
If you use Google Images, you can find a LOT of missing album art, a lot of it is on Amazon, and other sources. You want images that are square, and somewhere between 300 x 300 and 500 x 500, ideally. Then, I use Microsoft Paint sometimes to edit the album covers if I want to change something small about the way they appear. Then put all the art in a folder in the same place. Of course, you can also run "find artwork" in iTunes to find most of your stuff.
Now, a key thing to know is in the iPod, the album cover you see is pulled from track 1 of that music! If the album art you see in iTunes is being pulled from a different track in the album, it will NOT appear in the iPod in your album list. Databases are funny things, you have to know exactly what you're doing to work on them! So, what you need to do is figure out where the album art you want for an album is at. Use "get info", and find the album art you want for an album, and then right click and "copy" it. Or, bring it up in Microsoft Paint, hit select all, and hit "copy." Once you have that image, you want to make sure it is loaded for ALL tracks in that album in iTUnes. As many have said, doing one track at a time, using "get info" is maddening and time consuming! Fortunately, there are some shortcuts!
Once you have the album cover copied, there are several methods that work to get it on the entire album, all tracks. One is, to type in the search bar on iTunes until only the album you want to work on is showing on the screen. Then you can use "select all" to highlight all the tracks in the album at the same time. I had a few instances where this method alone would not bring up just the one album, so select all will not help in that case. But fortunately, you can go through all the tracks on the album you want to work on, holding the "control" button down on the keyboard while you click multiple tracks. This allows you to select manually more than one track. Now, right click on all the highlighted tracks and hit "get info." In the box that comes up, go to where the album cover is and right click and select "paste." NOTE: You will see the check box next to the album cover come on with a check, but you will NOT see the album cover you just pasted until after you apply this. When you hit apply, you will get a message that says "do you want to edit multiple items at once?" Say yes. It will then load the right album cover for all the tracks in the album, and fix a LOT of problems you're having.
Another thing you may have to do for some or all of your albums is on the same right click menu that "get info" is in, there's another one "view in windows explorer." You may have to select all the tracks using select all, hit properties, and make sure the files are NOT set to "read only." That causes a lot of problems too. It's also possible to right click on your music folder, and make sure all files and folders are not set to read only, but all at the same time.
So, it would be SO great if Apple would be better at getting this type of information out in a clear an complete fashion, but that does not seem to happen.
And, always back up your iTunes!

How to properly embed album art work into TV/Films itunes: home sharing lag

My setup is a simple apple home sharing network.
I have a mac mini running OS X 10.6.8 and itunes 11.0.4(4) it hosts a lot of music, DVD's that have been re-encoded and paid for content from itunes.
The mac mini is conntected to the network over a very good gigbit lan and has 4 apple TV3 (latest gen) hanging off the network, and multiple PC/Mac/ipod/ipad devices hanging off the network.
I connect to the itunes home sharing service with the apple TV service using the "remote" application on the ipad.
When I select Music/Albums TV Shows or Films from the menu of the itunes library the album art work loads (quickly) over the grey boxes as I scroll down. However this takes a few seconds for each "scroll" I do on the ipad (it has thousands of items in there).
The exception to the rule is any paid content, when I open Music/TV/Films menu on the ipad the paid content (especially for TV and Films) the artwork is already there, and doesn't have to load it.
How is the artwork for paid content contained differently than the artwork for content I've manually put into the itunes library.
If I look at the itunes library locally on the machine hosting the itunes data, the artwork is there straightaway, no loading, pull up the items info with "get info" and click on art work, the artwork is there, and I can see no different in the art work settings for paid content or for content I've manually updated/loaded an image for.
So why/how does the paid for content have artwork on the ipad the exact second I open it over the network, yet the non-paid for content take a few seconds per screen to load it.
Is there something different in how the art work is embeeded, or is it a caching setting ? whats the difference.

Dang You Autocorrect.
You don't saw what size and resolution the embedded artwork is. This could be part of the issue. Artwork on movies you purchase from the iTunes Store is 667x1000 at 72 DPI so if yours is larger than this is could be causing the delay.

Album art work

iPad music album art work disappeared after sync iTunes on my PC
Recently I synced my iPad with iTunes on my PC and after that when I open the Music player on my iPad, the art work of the albums have disappeared. It just shown as blank album. The songs are intact, just the art work is not visible.
Please let me know if you have experienced similar issue and was able to resolve.

Hi,
I could solve this problem myself. Basically I had transferd (downloded) all my purchases to my PC. This also downloaded all the album art work as well. Next I went into Music Player on my iPad and deleted albums one by one (by pressing and holding each album you get a "x" icon). Once all albums were deleted from my music player, I re-synced my iPad with iTunes on my PC. All the songs and album art work came back.
