Searching artwork for only one song at a time

When I use the "Get Artwork" feature in iTunes it searches my entire library for artwork that i'm missing (which i don't think it does a very good job at it anyway). this takes too long and just isn't what i want. Is there a way to have it only seach for album artwork for just one song.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
I don't believe iTunes will focus on one track when finding Cover Art.
However, I use the Album Art Widget, which will supply the cover art (if it's available on Amazon) for the track, or album currently playing.
Very easy to use.

  • IPhoto's Slide Show allows for only one song !

    I love the feature of iPhoto's slide show for a user to accompany a slide show with music from one's iTunes library. However, you can only pick one song. That means that if you have a slide show longer than one songs worth of time (most slide shows will be this way), the song will just keep repeating.
    Sure would be nice if there was a way to either play mutiple songs from a user's iTunes playlist. Alternatively, I've heard that the a capability may exist (outside of iTunes) to concatenate multiple songs together to accomplish the same end.
    Any suggestions on how to do either of the above?

    Hey Baheno,,
    there's so many Roads that lead to Rome!
    Road #1
    You can consolidate 2or more songs together in iTunes and name that (2 in 1) big song, Say, "eye of the tiger 2in 1) so this way it will be easy to locate it in the iTunes library while searching through iPhoto. Else you can create a separate albums in iTunes, and you put there only songs that are combined together.
    Road #2
    This is the one I prefer. You can export your slide show to QT (Quicktime). it requires some calculation to create a slide show that ends with the end of 1 song. Then you create another QT slide show, that ends with another songs.... etc..... after you merge all the parts together and you have a very long slide show with many songs!
    Transitions:
    Keep in mind that exporting to quicktime uses only the desolve transition. Which is fine with me. I have seen so many people doing some power point presentation and slide show with photos and using a array of different transitions..... in the same slide show.....it is disturbing, and takes away from viewing pictures. In cinema, it is said: "the thecniques should remain invisible" so keep the disolve transition... it is the least obtrusive .... your viewers, will never complain that there was no "cube effects"! Only you know about the missing effects!
    Self contained file.
    When you export to QT, you now have a file that you can send people through e-mail (given that it is a reasonable size) or you can even post them on web page! like a .mac page.
    When you want to view the show, you just click on the file and play it. No need to start iPhoto. No need to have a MAC, it can be seen on a PC too with QT. You can put it on a CD or DVD, and can be viewed on a DVD player.
    But when you play your slide show directly from iPhoto, you have to be in front of your mac, you have to have iPhoto open! But you can have you mac connected to a TV in the living room (I do) and then can play the slide show from iPhoto, using a TV-VGA adaptor that will play on your living room TV for a larger crowd to see. It can also be played through the sound system!!!! infinity and beyond!!
    If you want more specific on how to export to QT and merge 2,3,4,5 files post back. I will get more into it.
    I always export to QT, because this way, in the future, you do not have to mess around again in selecting the photos needed, and selecting the songs in iPhoto. I just click the QT file, and it will always play the same!
    hope this helps!

  • ITunes repeatedly prompts for computer authorization for only one song

    I already tried apple recommended resolutions but unfortunately they were not my resolution. Only one song after purchasing lots of others cannot be played because it asks computer authorization. I'm using windows 7 and itunes is the most recent. Now no one in apple is replying to my email. Did anyone have the similar case like this and solved,, please suggest the solution!

    I just solved by myself. I signed on to another computer's itunes and downloaded the song. It looks like no better solution out there. I hope anyone else who encountered the same problem - for the first time and frustrated badly like me - get help from this.

  • Adding Artwork (More Than One Song At A Time)

    I'm adding artwork to the songs that iTunes couldn't find automatically. Is there a way to add the artwork to more than one song at a time? It would be way easier if I could just add the artwork to an album all at once. I tried listing the songs in "Album List" order and dragging the .jpg into the blank artwork icon, but it didn't take.
    Please tell me that there's a way to do this; it's a hassle having to add artwork one song at a time!
    Thanks,
    -Adam

    At the Artwork box at lower left, click the text above the box so it shows "Selected Item".
    Select all the songs for one album then drag the artwork to the artwork window or Copy/Paste it into the Artwork box.

  • Playing only one song at a time

    I know this is unusual, but is it possible to only play one song at a time on an iPod?

  • IPhone plays only one song at a time

    After 2 weeks of the iPod feature of my iPhone working just perfectly, last night I discovered it will no longer go through a play list. No matter what I do, it plays only one song, repeatedly - either a song I choose or a song selected randomly by hitting Shuffle. Shuffle only chooses the first song randomly, after which that song plays over and over unless I manually choose another. I deleted my playlists this morning, rebooted iTunes, re-synced my playlists to the iPhone, same problem. Other than having to go through an entire Restore, are there any other options? This actually occurred out of the blue, NOT after a re-sync with the computer, therefore NOT caused by the iTunes update to 7.3.1.

    THANK YOU!!! I never would have found that myself because I don't even look at albums let alone play whole albums. My playlists are favorite songs from here and there and rarely more than one or two from any particular album. I don't know how that got changed since I have never looked at an album before, didn't know there were time and shuffle markers. I must have gone bump in the dark... so thank you again!

  • Only one song at a time.

    I can only play one song at a time! If I want to listen to music, I double-click on the song. After the song is finished, the next song doesn't play. Even when the song is playing and I skip to the next song, the music stops. This is really annoying. Can someone please help?

    The songs have become unchecked.
    CTRL+Click on any one of the little boxes to the left of the song title and it will toggle all the checkmarks. That will let iTunes play songs one after the other.

  • After iTunes update it won't import a whole CD, only one song at a time.

    I just updated iTunes on a Win 7 64 bit system and now can't import an entire CD. Import stops after 1 or 2 songs, and I get error message "Error occurred while converting the file "(song name)". The disk is not available". I can import the entire CD one song at a time, but cannot get the whole disc to import with one command. Already tried repairing the install and a few other suggestions I found online. Nothing has helped. Any suggestions?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    Although not directly matching your symptoms see also TS2308: iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install in case anything there is useful.
    You could also try ripping with Windows Media Player to see if the issue is specific to iTunes, or perhaps related to the drive itself or to particular discs. It is always possible that your optical drive has started to fail and can no longer seek reliably.

  • Playback no longer continuous - only one song at a time

    I used to select a playlist and then hit play, and I'd get playback of random songs continuously. Now I have to select a song to get it to play, and only one song plays. I've tried adjusting the shuffle commands and turning shuffle on and off, but no luck. Any suggestions on how to restore continuous playback, either randomly (shuffle) or continuously (album or playlist)?

    Make sure all the tracks have the box checkmarked. To check them all at once, hold the CTRL key and check any one of the boxes.

  • Media Player Problem playing only one song at a time

    Recently acquired a BB Curve 8330 (OS 4.5.0.127) running on a Bell Enterprise server.  I bought a SanDisk 16G Media Card.  The card is formatted, the songs are there (about 20 albums)  I can view, scroll, choose shuffle, choose an album, choose a artist or any other option.  No matter what I try, it will only play one song at a time.  Once the song plays, it just stops and stays at the end of the song.  Periodically, the entire device will shut down and restart.  I saw somewhere else in the forum to pull the battery, wait 1-2 minutes, didn't work.  There was also a post to try to downgrade the software from 4.5.0.127, but really, is that necessary?
    Is there a fix, patch, upgrade, or other I can try rather than going backwards?
    Please help.  Really frustrating.

    I was having the same problem.  I found out the CD's that I ripped were not in MP3 format they were in windows media audio format.  I was able to load them to my phone and they would play one at a time or when a song got to the end it would restart my phone.  Replaced WMA files with MP3 files and it fixed the problem. Hope this helps.

  • Drag and drop is working for only one photo at a time. Anyone else having this problem?

    I am trying to store some photos on an external hard drive. I can drag and drop one photo at a time, but not multiple photos. It appears to be working, that is,I see the plus sign, but they do not 'drop'.

    It sounds as if your Time Capsule is in "Bridge Mode", which would only allow one device to connect to the Internet at a time.
    To check......
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon
    Check the setting for Connection Sharing
    If it is "Off (Bridge Mode)", change it to "Share a public IP address"
    Click Update to save your changes

  • Sound went out for only one song

    just like that. it was fine one minute and then i played it again and there was nothing. i checked everything and it is all right. i checked some of my other songs and the audio was fine.
    i'm stumped. anyone have an idea?
    thanks.

    i checked all that already.
    i must have done something but i can't figure out what. this happened once before and the music magically returned....but it's not happening with this one. grr.

  • Can you tell me why we play only one song at a time and stop now???????

    OK....I will try to stop seething and write clearly. DL'd ITunes V8.0 which ran great for about a week. Now when I try to play from Music library it will play the first song then stop. If I try to advance using the forward button it stops playing as well. This only happens in the Music Library. Playlists function as normal. Please tell me this isn't another Apple "Enhancement". Ugh.

    Are the little checkboxes to the left of name ticked? If not iTunes will not advance to the next track as iTunes skips unchecked tracks.
    To check all, press ctrl & click in one of the little boxes or use select all, then right click in the selection and choose check all.
    Usually this affects both the music library and playlists so I am not sure about it.

  • I use i-tunes for backing tracks with an acoustic band...how can I get a playlist to play one song at a time and not go to the next one until I manually select it?

    I use i-tunes for backing tracks. How can I set up a play list to play only one song at a time and not go to the next one until I manually select it?
    Thanks

    Uncheck all the songs in the playlist. iTunes will then play one song and stop.
    Regards.
