Replacing low res album artwork in mini player

Here's a slightly neurotic question for the iTunes album art lover community....
I like the new miniplayer in iTunes 11.04 very much. The problem I've discovered is that much of the album artwork I once added to iTunes 10 and which looked fine in the defunct cover-flow, now is too low res in miniplayer.
I've gone back and chosen the artwork over again - usually on the fly when a song comes up in the mini-player - I drop the new artwork onto the miniplayer pane, and bing - the album artwork now looks great.
The problem is that the artwork only seems to be replaced for the one track of the album. All other tracks of the same album have the same low res artwork associated with them. Wouldn't it make sense for the artwork to replace for the entire album with this simple move?
Does anyone know why this is or if there is a good workaround for it that does not involve me stopping my workflow and right clicking to "get info" on the track and replacing artwork for the entire album?
Thanks!

How do I replace low res media with the hi res version of the same media?

How do I replace low res media with the hi res version of the same media without doing all my work all over again?

Assuming you used Smart Objects, just replace contents with the highres file.

Replacing low-res images with hi-res images

I have an animated image sequence I created with low-res downloads for client approval. Now that they approved the images I want to replace the low-res with hi-res versions but keep my sizing, etc. Is there a way/command to accomplish this without having to resize every image?

well the easy way to just replace the images is to either click on each of the images in the media tab and then click on replace media, navigating to your hi-rez versions. Or perhaps even easier would be to name all the hi-rez versions identically to the low rez ones and then in the Finder put the hi-rez ones where the low rez ones are. Of course you will still have to resize the high rez ones, but its easier than replacing each on in the timeline.

Replace low res footage with high res?

Can anyone tell me or is there a tutorial that shows how to take low res preview footage and replace it with the high res files for final output? In my case the high res file names have slightly different numbers. Is there a way to just change them to match the preview footage and be done? Doesn't seem to work for me. Tried relinking with no luck. I get: "Incompatible file. The original file and new file have no shared media range.Relinked files must have the same media type, same frame rate, and similar audio channels as the original files, and must be long enough to cover all the clips that reference the files." Seems like this shoould be a slam dunk!

I was using archival footage and only had low res previews to work with. Now that the project is approved I can buy the actual footage and complete for output. Is this different from replacing watermaked low stock footage with unmarked high res? Should I have set up the time stamped low res as proxie? Please don't tell me I'm back to square one.....

Disconnect/Reconnect Media (replacing low res stock)

I have a handful of stock video in a my project. I have been using the watermarked preview files from the stock media site, and now I have my purchased non-watermarked files that I need to replace in my edit.
What is the easiest way to do this?
FCP7 I would simply swap them out by "reconnecting media" and point it to the new file and it would connect to it fine since it had the same duration.
I can't seem to figure out the best way to do it here.
Thanks in advance!

You should be able to relink, so that the library clips point to the new files - assuming both versions have the same type of video and audio in them.
Where is the media stored? Inside the library? Or on a separate folder?
If the watermarked versions are on a folder and not inside the library (what is called "external media") you need only delete them - which will cause the clips to appear as offline (a red rectangle with a yellow warning triangle). Then just use the Relink command and point a folder containing the new versions.
If they are inside the library, then you need to basically do the same thing. The clips will be inside a folder called "Original Media" inside a folder for the event, inside the library package. The easiest way to locate them is to control-click in the browser and choose "Reveal in Finder". Then you can delete them as before - but since you'll be changing the contents of a library in the Finder, you should make a backup of the library just in case.
If you have created optimized or proxy media using the trial versions, you'll need to delete that as well (File->Delete Generated Event Files... or File->Delete Generated Library Files...)

11.0.4 podcast artwork in mini player not showing chapter artwork

This has still not been fixed. Is there any plan to fix this for those of us using iTunes on Mac and PC for podcasts?

What an unfortunate redesign. I just posted my first podcast and this had me stumped. Like the rest of you I worked hard to create interesting visuals for the chapter points. There's no way that new listeners will know what to do. This means every podcast will now have to include a "tech walk through" at the beginning of each episode. Thanks for the info Roger, it cleared up a lot of confusion!

Album Artwork is filling my Mini HD?

I have almost a 1TB music library. My issue is when I "Get Album Artwork" my Mini HD seems to fill up with those files. My music is on an external drive. Is there a way to point all the art files to the external too so the Mini HD doesn't fill up?
TIA

1 - Quit iTunes
2 - Copy /Music/iTunes/ folder to the external..
3 - Hold Option and launch iTunes.
4 - Select *Choose library* and select the iTunes folder you copied to the external drive.
iTunes will use this folder from now on.
Before you launch iTunes, you can also drag all your music into /iTunes/I/Tunes media/ folder on the external and iTunes will use this folder for everything from now on.
After you launch iTunes, go to ITunes prefs > and set the ITunes media folder location to /iTunes/I/Tunes media/ folder on the external.

Can't see album artwork in finder

I am on a MacBook Pro and using OS X Yosemite. Apparently this is a common problem that has plagued many a Mac user but the fact is, lately my finder has been showing previews for everything.....except music files. All I get is that generic music note file. Has anyone else found any kind of a solution to this?
Thanks either way.

You're welcome.
Despite all those files and sub folders in the Album Artwork folder, mine is less than 100mb - not exactly a huge amount unless you are really desperate for HD space!
My iTunes music folder in comparison is about 100x larger.

Album artwork-how do i get rid of old low res images and get new artwork?

Before apple introduced the new artwork download, I spent ages searching the internet for album sleeves and copied them to itunes, but the quality of the images in some cases was very bad. I am trying to replace this artwork with the downloadable high quality images but I can't work it out. I have tried going to the itunes folder in the music section of the finder and deleting all album artwork and then starting a new album artwork download, but all my old crappy low res pictures turn up again after I have done it. Any clues please? I am sure I am missing something.
thanks

Select all the muisic you want to remove artwork from.
Right click - Get info.
iTunes willask if you wan tot edit info for multiple items at once. Click OK.
ONLY tick the box next to Artwork then Apply.
It should delete all artwork in those songs.

How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?

How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?
When I play from my phone and switch to the mini player it's always showing the music notes in the thumbnaill. It'd be nice if it could get album art off of the phone.
I'm on iTunes version 11.0.4.4

He @mracole,
it is very nice that you post a solution to complete the library with artwork for album's that do not have an artwork. Your solution perfectly addresses the problem for assigning artwork, BUT this thread is about CHANGING artwork for albums already uploaded into iTunes Match. Just try to replace for example a blue artwork cover for an album with a red one. If you made it in a simple way (without deleting the album from iTunes Match and local changes on the files with an external ID3-Application or 2 or more iTunes libraries on different Mac's) this is the right place to give a solution. I really tried for hours to change the artwork to make them visible in landscape cover flow mode on my iPhone5. In rare cases I made it, but then the covers sometimes where restored to the old onces - exacly how it is mentioned by Starhawk
As long as there is no simple way to change the cover of an iTunes Match stored album (you can change title, artist and so on without hitting "update iTunes Match" over all distributed Library on different devices - this date will be synchronized almost instantly) I considered the behaviour from iTunes as BUGGY! For me the local artwork cache (and if there is any iCloud artwork cache - I don't know) do not interfere with iCloud. Even when I delete the whole local cache (album artwork music - everything) I do not manage to change the artwork.

How do I turn off artwork in iTunes Mini player 11.0.4?

I have been very vocal in mourning the loss of Cover Flow but now I've given iTunes 11 a second chance on my MacBook Pro.
The most irritating thing is the Mini Player is no longer 'mini'. How can I turn off artwork display when in mini mode? The whole point of this is to enable iTunes control whilst working, but having a big square displaying album artwork is just counter-productive.
I just want the option of a minimalist player when working.
Thanks,
Rich

Ah right, thank you!
I had the box with the artwork as small as possible and couldn't see the other artwork bottom left!

Update album artwork with high-res?

Anyone know of a program or easy way to update album artwork with higher-resolution versions? I know iTunes has an option to do so, but find it misses a lot of my music (stuff entered slightly different than itunes has it in the store) or gets the completely wrong artwork. I'd also like a way to overwrite existing artwork (example: if I have a low-res artwork). Anyone know of an application or easy way to do this without search for art one album at a time?

Oh Diane, I am so sorry.....I was sooooo excited to receive a response that I didn't even check to see who it was from, just wanted to go ahead and solve my problem..........which you have done for me. In which case, you too are a genius. thank you, thank you, thank you.

Every time I sync my Iphone 5c(with ios 8) to Itunes, it 1. deletes all of my purchased music 2. deletes all of my album artwork 3. replaces all of my deleted songs. please help! this is driving me crazy!

Every time I sync my Iphone 5c(with ios 8) to Itunes, it 1. deletes all of my purchased music 2. deletes all of my album artwork 3. replaces all of my deleted songs. please help! this is driving me crazy! It syncs 100+ songs, when I only want to sync 1! I'm running Itunes 11.3.1.2

After having experienced similar problems and having it back to work, I have a few suggestions:
- Try to find out if the syncing stops at a particular track or song. That might - out of the blue - have gotten corrupted in one way or another. Since that song will not be on the iPod, iTunes will try over and over to put it on and crash in one way or another;
- reformat the iPod as described in the iTunes 9 crash-thread. It takes time (at first it seems to do nothing, but that is because the green bar is moving with very small steps);

Movie artwork being replaced by album artwork

A few of the movies on my iPad air are having the movie artwork being randomly replaced by album artwork. For example, my Goodfellas artwork was randomly replaced by Albert King: Born Under a Bad Sign. On my MacBook Pro, in iTunes the artwork shows up correctly. I synced to try to fix this and it did not correct it. The movie still plays fine, this is just annoying which does not help my slight case of OCD. Does anyone know of a fix? (other than wiping my iPad clean and starting over).

depends what music players you use on your computer. i use musicmatch jukebox to do all that updating, and itunes automatically recognizes the changes as soon as it is opened up. you can also do it in itunes itself. right click on the song or songs you want to update, there should be an option to edit or view info or something along those lines. there are different tabs for song info. in musicmatch, it is on the main file screen. don't know right off hand about itunes.

ITunes Mini Player Does not show artwork

I have 100% of my music tagged with album art.
Album art shows 100% of the time in every other possible place in iTunes - including mini player next up.
When I look at mini player history, album art is missing 99% of the time.
Anybody have the fix?

I also find what Apple has done to be a huge step backwards.
Apple seems to be in the dark regarding the user experience - seemingly favoring form over function. I almost feel they are trying to just make things look pretty to please users in store but leaving real users left out to dry in regards to features and smart interface design.
The mini player is my primary interface for using iTunes - now this "upgrade" omits the playhead, time elapsed and remaining, volume controls (at a glance), full playback details, etc. How is this at all an improvement?
I suppose if making the interface "clean" - yeah - it's a home run. So pretty. So useless. Great job!
I said the same regarding Quicktime. I still use Quicktime 7 Pro (!!!!) over Quicktime for OSX because it has full controls, easy edit features (compared to the simplistic garbage of the new player) and most importantly - does not have movie controls overlaying my movie!!!
I know that's a tangent - but let's have a return to controls that sit below the movie as opposed to over it.
Apple, I truly love your products and own a significant amount of your gear - but you really need to sort out the user experience.
Cheers!
