Removing artwork from my Zen V P

I hate it. It shows the same piece of artwork for every song I have. It clutters up the Now Playing screen. I own these CDs, I don't need to know what they look like when I'm playing them on my mp3 player.
So, is it possible to remove album artwork from my Zen V Plus, or will my songs have a Veggietales (hey, they have some good stuff) picture next to them forever?

The album cover is part of the ID3 tag, which is part of every MP3 file. So you need an ID3 tag editor to change/remove it. There are many ID3 tag editors out there, some of them favorites of others in the forum. I happen to like ID3-TagIt (freeware), but you can search the forum for "album art" for other recommendations.

  • Is there any way to remove artwork from all songs on iPod?

    I need to clear all the artwork from my iPod so I can put them back on, as right now they are all mixed up for some reason. Any way to remove all the artwork? I unchecked the display artwork button under my iPod preferences in iTunes preferences, but even after updating the album artwork is still there...

    If you are in Windows, you can try this...
    Close iTunes.
    Go to the folder that contains your music. Select TOOLS then FOLDER OPTIONS from the menu at the top. Pick the VIEW tab. Change the appropriate opttion to "SHOW HIDDEN FILES". Click apply and close...
    Now scroll down through your music and you should see files named "Album Art.....". Drag all of them to the trash or some other folder. If you are not sure about all this, just don't empty the trash.
    When you run iTunes again, it should not be able to find the artwork. I'm not sure what you would do next but this gives you a start!
    Proceed at your own risk. Good luck!

  • How do I remove artwork from the Nano?

    I have a 16GB Nano and only 4.5GB of songs. I do NOT have videos loaded on the Nano, yet the summary page states that I have 10.4GB worth of videos. I don't even have podcasts synced to the Nano. I figured that it may be the album artwork that's taking up space on my Nano, but Apple only has instructions on how to add the artwork, not how to remove it. Logic would say that I could got to 'View' or 'Preferences' to change the settings, but the options are ghosted out.
    Without restoring the Nano, how the heck do I remove the darn 10.4GB of 'video' that it claims I have? UGHhhhh...

    planb77/B-rock:
    Thanks for your suggestion and for confirming that the album artwork should not take up any space on the nano. I ended up removing ALL of my music and started from scratch and now have my 10.4GB of space to play with. I really do like Apple products, but they can be very frustrating and inconsistent at times; luckily, my iPad has been behaving itself (for the most part).
    Thanks again. Cheers...

  • Remove Album Artwork from iPod

    I recently had to reset my iPod. Previously, I attempted to maximize my available space on my 2 GB iPod by changing settings to do not show my album artwork. I went to edit, preferences and clicked on music as the on-line instructions indicated. I could not find the option to turn off my artwork. It seems like before my reset, my iPod would hold approx 500 songs. Now is holds less than 400. Is this because of the artwork?

    Hello NationwideGA,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There used to be an option from under your iPod's Summary tab in iTunes that allow you to choose whether or not you wanted to include artwork on your iPod. However, as of iTunes 9, this option is no more and the default is that artwork is included on your iPod.
    So now the only way to remove all the artwork from your iPod is to remove it from each of your tracks in iTunes and I'm not exactly sure that is something you want to do. Even if you did, it wouldn't free up a significant amount of space on your iPod overall. At best a very small fraction a percentage.
    Not sure why you can only sync fewer songs now, but have you tried restoring your iPod yet?

  • Removing removable drive from Zen V P

    Hi
    I have a ZEN V PLUS. In error, I created a removable dri've on it. I would like to remove it so that I can use the space but there is no way that I can figure out to do it.
    When I choose Removable Disk from the Menu it just shows that I have a Removable Disk and it is 2 GIGs. I checked under Player Settings -- no way to do it there. Same for System Settings. I put a check mark beside Removable Disk in the Configuration Menu - still no luck in finding any way to remove the Removable Disk.
    I have checked every menu and sub-menu -- no luck.
    I thought I might be able to remove it through Windows Explorer but the Removable Disk doesn't show in Explorer.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi
    Thanks for getting back to me BUT, The ZEN V Plus must have a different Menu system than the Microphoto. When I go to Extras and choose Removable Disk, it shows that I have a Removable Disk and it is 2 GIGs but there is no option on that screen to do anything. Pressing the Select button on the player does nothing. There are no sub menus at this point and the only thing I can do is press the Back Button to get back to Extras.
    I went to the Player Settings from the Main Menu and selected the Configure Menu and put a check mark beside Removable Disk. Now Removable Disk shows up as a choice from the Main Menu but, when I select it, it just shows me the same as before that I have a Removable Disk. But there are no options available on that screen. Pushing the Select Button does nothing. The only thing I can do there is press the Back button to go back to the Main Menu.
    Has anybody run into this problem specifically with a ZEN V Plus and been able to solve it's
    Thanks

  • Removing media from Zen Microph

    I remove files (music, photos, etc) from my Zen Microphoto direct in windows explorer, from folder "my zen", because in Zen Microphoto Media Explorer don't have a option "remove media", only "add media". This procedure is right?

  • Can I use itunes to put album artwork on the Zen

    I use itunes to play music on my comp and I was wondering if the artwork I have saved in itunes will work on the Zen M.

    I know I can't use itunes as a transfer program. Ok let me reword it. I have been using itunes for like 3 years now, and I just get all of my album artwork from that. Will the artwork be on the Zen after I put the music on it using their software?

  • Ipod loses artwork from random albums

    I have a black 160GB iPod Classic with the 1.1.2 software synced to a Macbook Pro running iTunes 8. All ~60000 tracks in my iTunes library have artwork that I have manually added, and I sync about 9000 of these tracks to the iPod. All the artwork can be seen in list, grid, and cover flow views in iTunes, but after upgrading to iTunes 8 I've noticed that some albums show up with the generic "gray square with a musical note" image on the iPod, suggesting they don't have artwork. After reading through this forum I tried unselecting the "Display album artwork on your iPod" option, syncing the iPod, reselecting the option, and syncing again. While this didn't fix the problem, it did change which albums were missing artwork. Some that had been missing were now back, while others that used to have artwork were now blank. I've also tried rebuilding the iTunes artwork cache by selecting "Get Album Artwork" from the Advanced menu, but this did nothing as far as the iPod is concerned. One other fix I attempted was to switch to manually managing the iPod and delete the ArtworkDB file on the iPod via the terminal. Upon rebuilding the artwork database the iPod still had missing artwork. I've now restored the iPod and am in the process of copying all the files to it anew.
    I've seen other posts that relate similar experiences, but haven't noticed any reporting this seemingly random loss of artwork. The issue is specific to the iPod, as iTunes displays all art properly. I've spoken with several friends who have had similar issues since upgrading to iTunes 8. Any hints, or am I stuck waiting for iTunes 8.1?

    *Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
    iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exists in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
    *How to find tracks without artwork*
    To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackswithoutartwork for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant jpeg images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
    I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough.
    *Rebuild artwork cache*
    Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again.

  • How to manually remove artwork in iTunes 12.0.1?

    Hi,
    I want to remove the artwork from an album. In the previous versions of iTunes, one could simply go to the info page and click the artwork check box and the artwork would be removed. In iTunes 12.0.1 there is not this option. Even if you try to right click on the songs and select "Clear Artwork" it doesn't do anything.
    Does anyone know how to manually remove artwork in this version of iTunes?
    Thanks so much,

    The iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
    Delete Artwork
    On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
    Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
    Add Artwork
    Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the center of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
    You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
    If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
    If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
    Replace/Remove All Artwork
    The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
    Old Style Get Info Dialog
    Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

  • How do I turn off image/picture from Creative Zen display?

    :How do I turn off image/picture/cover art from Creative Zen display?
    I wouldn't mind it, but it's almost ALWAYS wrong! Why is that? It seems to pick a random - and I mean random - album cover every time I upload songs. WHAT makes it decide this? I have dance collection cover pics turning up for rock songs!
    If someone an help me solve this problem, I don't mind having the images show up.
    Thanks!

    >Hi,
    The album art is usually associated with an album artwork and is supplied together with the music tracks. The player will not display it if there isn't one. You might want to make sure that the album art is linked correctly to the music track.

  • Why is Pathfinder crop tool removing items from artboard?

    Hello all,
    I have a complexe vector drawing with shapes that pass the artboard. I want to crop the items within the artboard without using a clipping mask. My problem is when I draw a rectangle equal to the artboard, place it on it's own in the top layer, unlock and show all shapes (there are no open paths) and select everything, the results don't give me a proper cropped vector graphic. For some reason, it removes elements from within the artboard and leaves white lines where my paths are....live vapour trails! (there are no transparencies and everything is in RGB)
    Here is the before and after of the bottom of the artwork. Any ideas?

    Thanks!!

    For some reason, it removes elements from within the artboard
    The reason depends on specifically how your paths are drawn.
    You should be able to do this:
    1. Position a horizontal guide at the bottom of the Artboard.
    2. Knife Tool: Position cursor outboard of Artboard. Press Alt. Mousedown (snapping to the Guide). ShiftDrag rightward across the bottom of the artwork.
    However, that assumes reliable and accurate Snap behavior across the toolset, which Illustrator's isn't.
    To avoid figuring out all the caveats of Illustrators very poorly implemented boolean path combination features (so-called Pathfinders):
    1. Rectangle Tool. Draw a rectangle outboard of the Artboard, snapping the top of it to the bottom of the Artboard.
    2. Copy.
    3. ShiftClick one of the paths you want to cut.
    4. Click the "punch" (Subtract) Pathfinder (assuming CS5 or CS4; altClick the same Pathfinder in CS3 and prior.)
    5. PasteInFront. Repeat steps 3 & 4.

  • Can't copy artwork from internet into itunes; I just get a black screen where artwork should be. How can I fix this?

    It was just working fine a few days ago, but since yesterday, I cannot copy my album artwork from the internet into itunes. Please help. I don't know what's wrong with it...I may have to reinstall the whole program.
