Resolution of album arts associated with audio files - downscaled?

The iPod can display album art with a maximum resolution of 240 by 240 pixels. What happens if a picture file of higher resolution is associated with some audio tracks?
Is it being downscaled and then, with far less space required, transfered to the device?
And another question unrelated to the one above: I saw the font size changing between audio files, although their file name or description isn't longer than the ones being displayed regularly. Is this a bug?
Is there a way to change the font size? It'd be very handy since titles of tracks that are longer than the screen can display, it's a mess to wait until it scrolled all the way through...
Thanks!

Hello dr. orange,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Is it being downscaled and then, with far less space required, transfered to the device?
That is correct. During the syncing process, a smaller scaled down version of each track's artwork is created and then transferred to the iPod.
I'm not entirely sure about the font size issue you are seeing, but there is no way to adjust this on the Nano.
If you wish to, you can provide feedback to Apple on it through this link.

Hope this helps.

  • Since changing our computer I have been unable to download ebooks to my Reader Library I get a message Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library; Waterstones suggest that I may have accidentally created a new Adobe

    When I try to download them from the Waterstones website I get a message saying:
    ‘Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library.  Do you want to associate them now?  When I reply yes I get another message; ‘Configuration error unable to update EPUB files check network firewall and try again’.
    The ‘books’ are saved in the Download directory and I can’t transfer them from there to my E-Reader. I have not had any problems before, it was very simple; I saved the download and it automatically went into the Reader Library.
    I contacted HP and they said it is a software error and suggested I contact Waterstones.  I contacted Waterstones Customer Support and got the following response:
    As the error message is specifically mentioning the firewall it does sound like something in the firewall settings is stopping the download from taking place correctly. However, the files should not be being saved to the Download folder. It would be worth trying again by going to your Digital Order History on your Waterstones.com account and pressing the download button, and then making sure to press "Open" not "Save". When you press Open rather than Save it should give the option to open the file with Adobe Digital Editions. If the firewall message still comes up then I'm afraid something is blocking it on your end.
    If the above "Open" download method works but you then still get an error message it could possibly be that you have accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up on the new computer, rather than signing in with your old Adobe ID. It would be worth trying the aforementioned download technique again first, but if problems did still persist it would be worth calling Adobe themselves on 0207 365 0735, as they should be able to sort out any account issue.
      In response to the first para of Waterstones email I already do what they suggest I do press ‘Open’ not ‘Save’ but I don’t get the open with Adobe Digital Editions (we have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer. Waterstones say we may have ‘accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up the new computer’ does that mean that we shouldn’t have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer as it would have already been there? How do I sign in with my old Adobe ID? 

    Hi all after attampting to get some supoport from adobe by phone.... nice people infurating policys as far as support for digital editions or DRM is conserned... However I got no where with support.
    I ended up instaling Digital editions on my desktop PC and going through the motions of registering and borrowing a book then returning it. Then I trying on my iPad, Bluefire worked, Over drive did not so I completely removed Overdrive and reinstalled and re registered. all working now.
    Maybe some one at adobe did something. Maybe the install of the adobe DE client on a PC corrected what ever was out of wack with my account. Mayby the server that my account lives on did a scan disk and corrected a bad clustrer.
    What ever happend My account is actiove and working again. hope this helps others.

  • Unexpected problem: uncaught exception when working with audio files in Soundtrack Pro

    Hey,
    Whenever I double click an audio file in the timeline to work on it, I end up getting the Error message: "Unexpected problem: uncaught exception" and Soundtrack Pro eventually crashes.  Also, this happens when I try to work with audio files in the file editor.  I have Leopard and am using Logic Studio 8.  Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks
    Matt

    Didnt know how to remove the original clip from the STP arrange window - or whatever it's called in STPro.  So I could go no further in my perverse science experiment. 
    It also appeared that I could only import an aif but not a wav? 
    I gave up on STPro and did what I needed to do in Logic, which I use regularly.    
    Thank you for folowing up on this. 
    PS.  I used to use an old PowerPC version (1.0.3) of STPro and loved the way it visually showed the change in the waveform when you added each efffect.  It appears that the new version (3.0.1) does not allow you to do this anymore?  You can render or flatten the effects to see the final waveform, but then you are dead in the water and cant make changes?  
    Im such a newbie at STPro that I am probably not using it right? 

  • The vendor account is not associated with the file you are trying to open.Please try again.

    Please help me to understand what is the problem with the set up of the program. I bought an ebook from an internet site to which my IP address was blocked (in country 1). My brother bought it on a computer in country 2  and wanted to download and send me the file so I can open it on my computer. He set up initial download without Adobe ID. Afterwards he downloaded the pdf and send it to me. I tried to upload it  with my ADE reader but it didn't work without ID. My brother then deleted afterwards his ADE and installed it again, downloaded the ebook again but this time setting up an ID. He transferred me the file ,I used the same ID  but then the following message appeared "The vendor account is not associated with the file you are trying to open. Please try again." . Can this be fixed somehow? I cannot open the URLLinks even as there is no connection from my IP , but I have the pdf file ( ebook) but I don't know how to set up the program.

    Sorry Everyone this error message appeared in Digital Editions 4 used on a windows 8 laptop.  Thanks Chris

  • Testing for applications associated with a file type

    Dear contributors,
    while trying to open a simple *.txt file via java.awt.Desktop.open(File)
    the IOException is thrown. According to Javadoc there is "no associated
    application or the associated application fails to be launched" in this
    case. Interestingly the Desktop class does not provide methods to test
    for particular file type registration, just for the "support" of a generic
    Desctop.Action. Colud you please illuminate how to check, whether a file
    extension / file type / mime type has an associated application in a platform
    (in)dependent way at least for "opening" ?
    OS: Linux, 2.6.24-22-generic, x86_64
    JDK: 1.6.0_07, 64 bit
    Many thanks

    If you make the call and an exception is thrown, then there is not application associated with the file type--otherwise I believe you need to do some registry work if you do not want a pretest.

  • I rec'd a CD with audio files. The suffix is .v09, and they won't play on iTunes. Any idea what I should do?

    I rec'd a CD with audio files. The suffix is .v09, and they won't play on iTunes. Any idea what I should do?
    I have a MacBook, OS X.

    No helpful information seems to be available about this, except that on Windows .v09 indicates an unknown extension - in other words they could be anything. What do you get if you highlight the file and hit command-i - does the info pane give you any file type?
    The best thing would be to ask the person who sent you the CD what they are; if you can't do this you can only try opening it in various programs. Audacity is a free audio editor which can open a number of formats. You could try dragging it to a browser icon in case it's Flash, or try the Windows Media Player. However there's a good chance that it's one of the obscure audio formats, in which case you very likely won't be able to play it.

  • IPhone4 Music album art swapping with other albums?

    So my iPhone 4 has been going through some issues since the release of 4S:
    Slow performance; freezing whilst receiving messages (both iMessage and standard txt); phone vibrates and makes the noise, then 30 seconds later lights up with the alert/notification on the screen.
    But the strangest of all, is that randomly the music album art swaps with each other. What is clearly a male artist and his album art, randomly gets Kylie Minogues Album art? However, in iTunes, the album art is correct? I have repeatedly Sync'ed, however, don't want to "restore" the iPhone. But I feel I am fast approaching this as my final option.... :-(
    Any idea's?
    This might be the conspirer in me - but issues like this occur whenever Apple bring out the newer version of the iPhone... a plot to make us upgrade out of frustration?
    Many thanks,
         BN0079

    Hi, mine's having the same issue, but only of late. I have posted a similar question on here - but judging from your's being posted in August lol - maybe I won't have any luck.
    My next stop is to delete all albums and music from my iPhone4 and then BackUp. I'll restore my phone to factory settings and start again.
    If that fails to solve the issue, Apple will have to issue me a new phone over the Genuis Bar in-store. :-)

  • Album art problems with Vision M 30

    I've tried everything to add album art to my player, but it doesn't show on the player.
    I have:
    - put a folder.jpg file in my existing mp3 dir and then uploaded it to the player again (even resized it to 200x200 and less than 50 Kb)
    - tried album art within the id3 tags
    - updated to the latest firmware: .62.02e
    - used several programs such as album cover art downloader
    - uploaded with media explorer
    can't get it to work. It looks like I have to activate it somewhere on the player, but that can't be right...
    Any help is welcome

  • ITunes Album Art Screensaver with iTunes Match in Lion

    A well documented problem so far.
    Would just like a DEFINITIVE answer
    Running iTunes 10.5.3
    Lion 10.7.2
    iTunes Match working great with songs still stored locally.
    Have re-downloaded all album artwork & displays just fine while in iTunes
    When activating Screensaver, get the message 'No iTunes artwork found'
    Ok all you mac/iTunes geniuses, what have you figured out so far?

    I found that I too had this problem.  I have tried everything that is suggested here and else were.
    What I had to do was maybe a combo of everything suggested here and what I did.  Don't know for sure, but I am not going to try to break it again to find out.
    After none of these suggestions would get it to work I started digging.
    Using Activity Monitor, I could see that when I had the System Preferences open it was taking way to much Physical RAM and CPU, so I selected "System Preferences" from the list of open processes and then clicked the "Inspect" button at the top of the Activity Monitor, under the "Open Files and Ports" tab I could see that the "iTunes Library.itl" file was trying to be accessed.  So then I closed the "Inspect" window and clicked the "Sample Process" button.  I got A LOT of information, and a lot of error messages refering to iTunes that contained the text "(in iTunesAccess) load address" and a bunch of different numbers that I couldn't tell you what they mean.  Searching google for "(in iTunesAccess) load address" didn't give me anything of value, so I figured that since System Preferences kept trying to call the "iTunes Library.itl" file and I was getting a bunch of iTunes errors in sampling the System Preferences process, that the problem might lie in my library.
    So to test, I copied about 50 or so songs with album art to the iTunes library of a new user I had just created on my computer.  Then I tried to turn on the artwork screen saver, and it worked right out of the gate.  So that told me it wasn't a global problem with the computer, just within my profile. Since I have had the same library for about 10 years though hardware, OS, and iTunes upgrades, I thought, maybe if there was some way I could rebuild my Library file it might be happier, and since I don't want to loose all my play lists and what ever historical data is kept in the library file, rebuilding seemed like the best option.
    So here is what I found on how to rebuild the Library file, it is pretty easy, but scary to.  I have a Time Machine back up of my computer so I felt better knowing that I could just revert back.  Before you try this I would make back up copies of "iTunes Library.itl" and "iTunes Music Library.xml" if you aren't backing up your computer already.

    After all that everything worked like it was suppose to.  Happy day and all the peasants rejoiced.
    I really wish Apple would address the issue though, I know it's a small detail, but that attention to small details is sometimes what makes Apple so effing cool.  Seems like they are starting to let more fall through the cracks.

  • Album Art import with solution

    Hello,
    After several search, I can't find an answer to my question.
    I would like to import my collection to Itunes (Complete with artwork for all album, one directory per album with a jpeg file named cover.jpg)
    How can I import the album art without having to manually drag&drop for each album? Is it possible to specify the name of the jpeg file to import while adding mp3s?
    Winamp for example recognize a file named "cover.jpg" in the folder to be the artwork for that album. Make sense no?
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks.

    So, I finally found a way to do this.
    It's a batch process using MP3Tag on a PC. It will read the Jpeg and embed it in the mp3 for all your collection. It really rocks!

  • Trouble with audio file

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone knows why I am unable to position an audio clip where I want it to be in the composition timeline? When I add it to the composision, it places it at the very beginning of the timeline by default, and I would like it to play about 30 seconds in instead, but I am unable to move it on the timeline like I can any other layer...
    any help is greatly appreciated!
    thanks

    That is an unusual behavior. What kind of audio is it? Is it associated with any video files? If it's some compressed format, you may wish to convert it to a plain WAV/ AIFF file. After all, AE is a compositing program and its audio handling abilities are quite limited...

  • Oh, Is it? i can't never add album art in my mp3 files without------

    Okay let's see i write again cuz my title was abscence some
    of words though, ur, my problem? duh~! , this creature
    problem is ,urm, in my case, I think NOW ITUNES programmed
    cannot able to add any album title which things by
    ITUNES Store and Even my computer storage, i've been
    so many times tried put the other album of mp3 files.
    It werent worked. Well, the purpose of preventing copying
    from illegal sound files is till good. BUT The matter isnt
    this. SO What should we have to do ,what if we creat
    album art ourselves? then what? IT isnt illegal ,dont I?
    We have right to free of adding a album art by ourselves
    AM I RIGHT?
    Im rewrriting my point below if my words are lame i guess.
    -O Is it? I can't never add Album Art in my IPOD(fifth Ed.)
    without registered in Itunes store?
    If it isnt so, Tell me more specific techical solution!
    I've been also stick around all the threads, hard to find
    the correct answer what im struggling with....
    Or Plz bring a new edition of 'Itunes' program to us as
    light as possible.
    Im stupid with still enjoying myself on IPOD even
    the problem exists in my ahead
    I blaming this because uncool things but loveya much!

    As someone's investigation like below;
    It is NOT working the way of adding an Album Art in your POD
    On the contrary of this, When we use a mode of 'Sync' files
    from my ITUNE's Library Lists than it worked outrageously
    Yea, the other users have been faced with this
    freaky yeuky things earlier than me. So the light bulb
    is : We gotta waiting for Patching for ITUNE7.
    ps : Sometimes, But the SYNC mode make my hands and
    my body everything tired...
    I hope someone might be helpful
    pps : DO any better idea? Catch Me then
    and Thx read my lame phrase....

  • How can I identify which albums are associated with a specific picture.  I used to click on the picture and see the albums but don't know how to do it in 13?

    I keep pictures in Albums, specifically by year and then other topic albums. As a result some pictures are in several albums. Sometimes they are assigned in error.  I used to be able to click on a picture and see not only the tags but the albums associated with the picture.  How can I see which albums are assigned to a picture?

    Are you referring to the yellow text box that pops up like this?
    If it is those are called tooltips or anchor titles.  Cyclosaurus has posted script to block them: removing rollover html detail box: Apple Support Communities.
