Shutdown function and view album art by Genre..

Is it only me that would find a Shutdown at end of album function useful? When your lying in bed listening to music, i don't want to have to get up and switch my machine off, i want an option in iTunes that will shutdown my machine at the end of the playlist or Album.. any one else think thats useful?
What about viewing Album art via Genre? When you select a Genre, then click on the scroll album art button it shows the whole of your library!?!?! how stupid! i only want the albums in that Genre!
Grr... how many times i've sent that to Apple as a feature request i have no idea... since itunes 5 i think!! C'MON!

Please add your computer info to your profile using the My Settings link on the right side of the page.
I don't know about Windows, but on a Mac, there is a scheduled sleep/shutdown option in the Energy Saver Preference pane.. There are also quite a few free and cheap options available for download that can do it. If you're on Windows, you might look around to see what options you have.
When you select a Genre, then click on the scroll album art button it shows the whole of your library!?!?! how stupid! i only want the albums in that Genre!
Not sure where you're selecting the Genre, but if you're talking about the Browse option (the eye icon), when you switch to CoverFlow view, you are no longer Browsing, you are in CoverFlow.
If you switch between the different views (List, AlbumArt, CoverFlow) you'll notice that the Browse function is disabled for CoverFlow.
Of course, you could always create Smart Playlists to group your songs by Genre which would eliminate the need to rely on the Browse function.

View Album Art When Playing or When Clicking on a Song

In the past, with previous versions of iTunes, it was possible to simply click on a song and the album art for that song would appear in the lower left corner of the iTunes window. There was an option to have the album art showing either for the song that was currently playing, or for the song that was currently clicked on. I can't seem to find this feature/option anywhere. Is it no longer possible? It would be nice to listen to music, and then click on another, and see that song's album art without having to get info on the song or switch to the coverflow mode.

Yes. I know that. When choosing "View Album Art" then you can view the album art in that little window IF the song is playing. If no song is playing, then nothing shows when you just click once on a song title. In the past, it was possible to just click once on a song title and have the artwork show in that little window.

Drag and drop album art not working / iTunes 7.0.1.8 & WinXP SP2

Drag and dropping album art isn't working for me after upgrading to iTunes 7 in WinXP SP2. Anyone else experience this problem?
Update: Drag and drop works from a webpage but not from Windows explorer or Windows Picture & Fax Viewer.

You only need an iTunes account to automatically get artwork. Usually artwork for CDs you import yourself is gotten from somewhere else. I tend to use allmusic.com. Occasionally I will have to use google to find the artwork though.
Have never tried to add artwork from anywhere but a webpage though.

Viewing album art in iTunes 11 - a few questions

I have just upgraded to iTunes 11, and I noticed there are a few features missing that used to be very valuable to me in ensuring that my library was correctly organized and tagged.
1. There does not seem to be an option to display the album art of either the "Now Playing" track or the "Currently Selected" track(s) in the sidebar on the lefthand side of the iTunes window.
2. There does not seem to be an option to view my library as a list grouped by albums, with the album art for each respective album to the left of the other columns.
If anyone knows of a way to enable these two features in the new iTunes 11, please tell me, as it is much more tedious to check and replace album art for new music I add to my library now based on the way I have my library set up.
Also, this is a bit off-topic, but I think that to enhance the new "upcoming tracks" menu, iTunes should recognize when people have their libraries set to shuffle by albums, and instead of asking a user to add a track to Up Next, it should ask to play the entire album next. That way, people trying to listen to entire albums at a time can easily choose what album will come on after the current.
One final thing - I think the artist grid view of the previous iTunes should still remain as an option. The new iTunes is bringing iTunes in a good direction, but I think that there are a good amount of features discarded that possibly shouldn't have been. I'm interested to see what future updates bring to the new iTunes.

If you mean cover flow, it's been removed. By selecting "Albums" across the top, this is the new look. The only time that you can change a look is if you have built a playlist, then click the "View" Icon in the top right corner of the playlist. It will give you three options. Cover flow is not one of them.

Why can't i directly cut and paste album art

The older I-Tunes was able to cut directly and paste album art pictures, (when the find album album art auto feature failed) I now have to save album images to my hard drive,' Apart from the new coloured (I spell Colored with a "U" as I'm British) icon Red instead of blue the rest of it is just the same

The new 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)
The new icon is the least of the changes.

Small and big album art not matching

I bought an 5G iPod only ten days or so ago, and I have recently finished to transfer all my song database.
I'm seeing something strange happens with the album art. Sometimes I take a look on the screen, and it correctly displays the song info: artist, album, song title and also the small album pic are OK. But when I push the central button to see the enlarged album art, sometimes the album picture I see belongs to a different artist or album that I also have in my library. It also happens the other way around, i.e, if I display the big album pic and then I switch to the artist/title screen.
Does anyone know how can I fix this and why does it happen?
Thanks in advance
Edit: I have just seen that sometimes the work art displayed is plain wrong in both small and big sizes. I have checked on ITunes and the album art is looks fine there, though. Is it possible that something went wrong during my last iPod-iTunes sync?

yeah mine too, and i've tried re-setting it, and wiping it and re-sync ing etc,
still seems to do the same, and is generally rally annoying seeing how it is such a relatively useless feature, it would be nice if it at least worked...!
any ideas..?

Create sequence, function and view all at once -script or something similar

Hi I would like to know in what way can I write a script or something like that which would define names for a sequence, function and a view in the beginning (for example TEST_SEQ, TEST_FJ, TEST_VIEW...) and after that create this sequence, function and view with definitions like
CREATE SEQUENCE TEST_SEQ
MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999
INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 NOCACHE NOORDER NOCYCLE;
create or replace FUNCTION TEST_FJ RETURN NUMBER AS
tmp number;
BEGIN
select TEST_SEQ.NEXTVAL into tmp from dual
RETURN tmp;
END TEST_FJ;
and so on...
In the end I would also like to grant some rights on these objects I just created:
grant select on TEST_SEQ to public;
grant execute on TEST_FJ to public;
So my question is how to package all these things together so I can execute them from a single file in SQL Developer, and if i need to change the names of these tables I want do it in one place in the beginning of this script (or something like a script, I'm not sure what)...
Thanks in advance!

hi,
hope help you...
this is my basic generic solution...
create or replace procedure createSequence( psequenceName in varchar2 ) is
begin
execute immediate 'create sequence ' || psequenceName ;
execute immediate 'grant select on ' || psequenceName || ' to public ';
end ;
create or replace function getNextVal( psequenceName in varchar2 ) return number is
queryText varchar2(100) := 'select <sequence_name>.nextval into :next_value from DUAL' ;
next_value number ;
begin
queryText := replace(queryText,'<sequence_name>',psequenceName);
execute immediate queryText into next_value ;
return( next_value ) ;
end ;

The control click and external mouse right click no longer works when copying and pasting album art within itunes. Ex. Hit get info for one song to paste to the rest, copying the artwork wont work when it used to.

ITunes album view not working and no album art?

Hi all -
Bought a 64GB iPhone 5 and uploaded my music via my desktop - all seems to have run fine, except that album artwork isn't showing for many of them, even when I select the option "View artwork".
I've read on another thread that ID3 tags of 2.3 or lower are not supported, but find it hard to accept there's no compatibility here - so am presuming user error rather than Apple trying to force users to manually update all their albums (I have 57GB of music - don't want to update album art on everything!)
Also, I've just downloaded and installed iTunes on my laptop, and connected the iPhone to laptop. However, the album view options aren't working. All songs are simply listed by album name, but none of the column listing features work either (ie, sort by name, genre, etc).
I presumed iTunes had crashed, but restarting the laptop and the same happens. Am on latest software for iTunes and iOS 6.
One more curiosity - how do I download my music from the iPhone to the desktop? I had presumed it would do this automatically (ie, into the iTunes media folder) but so far nothing.
Or is it simply the case that iTunes is preparing to download all music into the desktop, hence why it's not working properly? Simply because there's no notice of anything happening.
Apologies for any newbie questions - found myself using the iPad quite a lot for apps, but never for music as it was only the 16GB version, so have been sold into joining the Apple walled garden. Would be nice to get these issues sorted out, though.

Hi David
Yes, I found the importer now. I also fixed my problem, but with 'brute force':
For each of the folders not being indexed, including the ~/Library/Mail folder, I turned on Privacy in the Spotlight System Prefs and then turned it off again. This seems to have fixed things. I did this for some old document folders too and that also seems to have worked.
So far so good. thanks again. For now I'm marking this as solved.

Drag and drop album art in Nokia Music Manager

Hi there, I am just making my first steps with the Nokia Music Manager (NMM). After converting my music files to the m4a format I want to add the album art. There is a little field on the bottom of the screen of the NMM called "Drop graphic here" (don't no exactly the wording - I have the german version). I have tried different ways but nothing happens. What do I do wrong?
Kind regards
netdog63

Hi.
Had the same problem and couldn't find anything anywhere, just stupid workarounds using wmp & itunes and **bleep**.
Solution is very simple
You can only drag'n'drop album art onto songs which are in 'My Collection'.
So... Copy your mp3's to the 'My Collection' view and it should work.
This also enables the 'Edit' function in Nokia Music Manager which lets you edit tags aswell as album art.
Hope this helps...

How do I view albums within a genre?

When I click into a genre I get an option for "albums" and a list of artists. If I click on albums, it gives me a list of all my albums in itunes not just those within the genre. How can I get a list of only the albums within a genre?
Thanks

Jerry,
The option at the top says "all albums", that's why you see everything in iTunes. To see the albums you have to leave the menu on a genre like Pop and watch the album cover art work. If you select Pop, you get the artists and under the artists are the albums. It could use a few more options....

How can i view album art above the songs in the new itunes format?

i liked how you could view the artwork for a song above the list and it seems like that option is unavailable in this new itunes version. Why??

Not a great solution, but you can completely remove the album art if you reduce the width of your itunes window.... as you reduce the window you get to a point where the artwork disappears.
Maximized window:
Narrowed window:

Find and using album art

I took the album art off of Amazon to put in iTunes for music that the iTunes store doesn't sell. All that Amazon art is blurry. Is there a higher res album art source? Is there a better source for album art, more options?
Some of the albums create a separate album cover for each song on a album rather than each album so in "cover flow" each song is listed separately. Do you know what causes that?

I use art from Amazon. It can be hit or miss getting something high res, but most of what I've gotten has been fine. Did you click on the smaller image and let it open a larger image in another window? Be sure to copy the larger one.
On the multiple covers issue...make sure your tags are correct on the songs. I recommend you retype the name of the album and repaste it in the appropriate field on the songs. Sometimes empty spaces can be hiding in there and cause problems. Also...check and see if some tracks have an album artist while others do not. Is the album a compilation? If so, mark it as one. It can also depend on the what view you're using in iTunes. Which view are you set on?

Error -60 and No Album Art

So I bought a new cd and burned it to iTunes. (for some reason the track info didn't come up either, but that's not my problem) I started syncing my iPod and it came up saying iPod cannot be synced error -60. I've looked through the forums and saw that supposedly a song is corrupted. Well I only had another album on my iPod since I last synced my iPod so I deleted that album and the one I just burned. I also noticed with the 2 albums I put on my iPod the song will play 2-5 seconds and skip songs. I saw the song that wouldn't sync and created an AAC (or ACC I forgot which it is) and resynced it. Yet another song wouldn't sync. Now these songs that are apparently "corrupt" I've had on my iPod for a long time. I don't know what's up.
I put the cd I burned on my iPod again and it synced, but there's no album artwork. I have it on iTunes, but it's not showing up on the iPod. I tried "get album artwork" (and it found it) and also getting it off the Internet. Neither works.
Also for some reason I can't eject my iPod. It says files are being used, even though iTunes is the only program running. So I have to go into my computer and it still takes 3 tries to eject it. This only started happening 3 days ago, and it's really getting on my nerves.
So here are my questions:
1. Error -60, how can that be fixed
2. Why is my iPod only playing 2-5 seconds in a song and then skipping
3. Why is the album artwork showing in iTunes, but not on my iPod ( This is only for the 2 new albums I've put on my iPod, the rest of the songs still have their artwork)
4. Why can't I eject my iPod without it saying it's in use.
All these problems only started 3 days ago when I synced my iPod for the first time in about a week. Oh btw please don't tell me to restore my iPod, I have over 8,000 songs.
Any help?

I had the same issue and came to the boards for help. Sure enough a simple reboot of the phone did the trick.
As for songs cueing up at the end or in the middle; I've had that same issue but haven't had it for a couple weeks.
I'm hoping that it's been resolved but one thing to try if you haven't already is to remove all playlists and songs then re-sync (a reboot in between might help; I didn't do that but it certainly can't hurt).
Anyway, rebooting your iPhone should fix the album art lock screen issue.
Good luck.

Nas drive and no album art on the mac

I started all this buying a touch. Then a nas drive netgear nv+ then 1 mac mini then airport extreme and express. I started this itunes on a pc and still have a library 60 cd's on it that is loaded on the nas. I am loading about 4000 cd's on the nas and have started that now with the mac mini(100 more cd's). No artwork shows up and non of the other cd's I loaded on the nas from the pc show up either.
My end result is ti have two or three zones controllable by i phones or touch that have all the music available on the sound systems attached to expresses or mini mac's. I am told I have to have a computor attached to each zone-zone being something I can listen to different than another zone. The netgear nas says it can do this with itunes and I have firefly turned on the itunnes server. I love the touch interface as it is what I want to use. I sell high end audio for a living and need the good sound around the house-all aiff files please help as I have taken the apple plunge and do not want to return to pc
I want the album art to show up and all the albums to show up on any computor of touch or apple tv in the house and be able to play it's own thing.
Thanks

All of my MP3 files already have album art added to them, but even better would be for the Zen to use 'folder.jpg' in the folder of the album as WMP does, if that were possible. That would save the filesize of each file in an album having to be increased by having album art attached to every single one. But album art support in any form at all would be brilliant!
