Skipping songs when trying to add album art

Hello,
I have a 60gb video ipod and am having a problem recently. Everytime I rip a CD onto itunes I have to add the artwork manually and when I do this, the songs (on only the new CD) on iTunes skip during the beginning 10 seconds of every song. As well, iTunes shows that it is downloading the album art, but it doesn't add anything.
Can anyone please help.
Thanks very much.

Really Weird,
Numbering is fine now but when I attempt to add artwork, it doesn't allow it and puts skips int the beginning of every song. This is not just when I play the song in iTunes but it actually writes the skip onto the song so that no matter what player I use, it skips. This is now obviously an iTunes problem, not iPod but any help would be great.

Error -50 when trying to add album art.

The only reason these is really peeving me because I literally spent around 5 hours putting album art to the 450+ albums on my iPod. This is what I did.
Because my friend advised me that syncing with the library is bad and the fact that i'm a super organization freak I added the album art directly to the tracks under iPod as opposed to editing the tags from my library and syncing. I figured since ID3 tags can be made straight to the tracks on the iPod, I could add the artwork. Turns out after I added all the artwork and through iTunes I could view it, they weren't showing up on my iPod, which is problem number one.
Half of my albums already had the artwork. I saw an option in iPod option under iPod>>Music to display artwork. I unchecked it, it said it was deleting artwork from iPod. I rechecked it, and it said it was optimizing, and the bar SLOWLY filled, about a minute in it gives me error -50 "The iPod cannot be updated" anybody know whats going on?

This usually indicates an input/output error. Sounds like some data corruption where your printer drivers are installed. See my FAQ*:

I'm trying to add album art to a CD I imported but it will not work. The album art will add to other albums but it won't show on the album. The CD is imported from Japan, didn't think that would be a problem. Does anyone know a solution?

Vanguard,
You are welcome. As I gather you have now figured out, any of the other formats (AAC, MP3, AIFF, or Apple Lossless) can handle artwork just fine.
Enjoy the music!

Ipod cannot be updated (-50 error) when trying to upload album art

For some reason, when I check the "Display album artwork on your ipod" box, I'll end up with an -50 error, even though the album art is already in iTunes and I can upload songs/photos/videos just fine. Latest version of iTunes and iPod FW.
I've tried unchecking/rechecking the box, ejecting the ipod, restarting the ipod, itunes, Windows, to no avail. Hoping it's just an annoying problem with a simple solution.

disconnect your ipod without ejecting it using itunes. just unplug it, and all the artwork should be there

An Error occurs when trying to display album art...PLEASE HELP!!

When trying to add album info, it crashes and closes.

This problem popped up after intalling 10.5. I've tried to run a fix, but it doesn't change anything. Any suggestions? It's frustrating, as I'm a huge audiobook listener and I can't transfer the disks to iTunes to then transfer to my nano. Thank you!

Trying to get album art back after adding it to 7500 songs (external drive)

I just got a new iMac and I am trying to add album art and organize my library. I had the library on an external hard drive, and I'm trying to get it on this new mac's internal hard drive (where it will stay, since the first move to the external drive removed all the playlists and ratings.)
I just spent over 10 hours adding artwork to all the songs and now that the ext. HD is ejected, the artwork is gone.
After reconnecting the ext. HD, it was the same--all the artwork is missing.
Please point me to a relevant thread, if possible. I was unsuccessful in locating one that would be helpful.
Also, how can I do a search for a thread that just brings up the topics, without answers to questions?
Thanks, Jennifer

JP:
Are you sure the artwork's gone? When you add artwork to a music track via iTunes, it is actually added via the ID3 tag, which are embedded in the song file. The only way that the artwork could be removed if if the tag was modified or you converted your music files to a format that does not support ID3 v.2.x tags.
When you Get Info for a single random song file, and click on the tab for artwork, is this pane empty?
Have you opened the show artwork box under the Source menu in iTunes? (click on the button with the rectangle below the Source menu).
Otherwise, I am at a loss as to how all of your artwork disappeared simply by moving it from one drive to another.

Manual update - how do I add album art to songs that are already in ipod?

I recently changed to manual update as the auto update started to take a ridiculously long time to even recognize my 60gb.
I wanted to add album art to an album that was already in my ipod. I updated the songs in itunes, and then dragged them to the ipod when it was listed in itunes.
Itunes said "updating songs" - and I ended up with two copies of each song.
I deleted the duplicates from the ipod, but surely there must be an easier way.
So how does one properly update information on existing songs with manual update?

The easiest way to do this kind of thing probably would be to either make the alterations (album artwork, lyrics, etc.) on your iPod's songs themselves, not the iTunes library songs. (Click on the little arrow to the left of your iPod's name in the Source List of iTunes, so show/hide. Click on the "Music" library under your iPod to see it's songs displayed in iTunes.)
When you've gotten in the "Music" library, under your iPod's name in iTunes, you can select the songs here that you want to change, and click on "Get Info".
Or, you could do this:
1 - Make the changes to the iTunes Library songs.
2 - Go to your iPod's Music area in iTunes.
3 - Delete the current songs off your iPod that will be replaced with the "modified" version of the track (that has additional or altered info on it.)
4 - Now, go back to the iTunes Library. Select those new changed songs, and drag them to your iPod.

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.

How do you add album art in iTunes 12? everything I've tried doesn't work

how do you add album art in iTunes 12?

Two methods:
Right-click on the album, select Get Album Artwork. iTunes will determine whether this album is available from the iTunes Store and, if so, download the artwork image from the Store and associate it with the media files.
Right-click on the album, select Get Info and then the Artwork tab, Then:
click the Add Artwork button, navigate to and select an image file on your computer, or
drag and drop an image file from your computer to the Artwork tab, or
copy an image to the clipboard (for example, from a web page) go to the Artwork tab and press Ctrl-V (there's a bug in iTunes 12.0.1.26 such that right-click > paste does not work here
For the second method, you can also access the "old style" editor window from iTunes 11 by holding down Shift as you right-click > Get Info.
Lastly, there are three cases in which you can follow these procedures but artwork is not correctly associated with or embedded in your media files:
your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files. To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties. On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white. Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected. Now try adding the artwork again.
Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12). See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again.

ITunes song list is blank in iPhoto (when trying to add a song to s slideshow). No issues with iMovie. Any idea? Cheers

Even though no one replied, i fixed my problem.
Don't know if it will work for anyone else with similar problem
but all I did was a CHKDSK then a defragment of my laptop and now everything seems to be working fine.

I can't add album art

When I try to add album art to, well my album, the image I choose is not sticking. My album is also in a playlist.
Here is what I am doing.
Select all (every song in the playlist is from the same album I would like to add album art to.)
Click 'Get Info'
Drag a picture from my desktop to the little artwork box in the bottom right hand corner and click the little check box next to it.
Click 'ok'.
Wait a few seconds. Nothing happens.
Now the problem is, after I go through those steps the image does not transfer over to the songs. Individually or for the whole album.
I thought it would be a computer issue or one of those weird things where the album art shows on my iPad but not my computer so I tried sycing my iPad up and still nothing.
A couple of things as well:
I did click ADVANCED > GET ALBUM ARTWORK, it does not work.
I did not buy the album from iTunes, I bought it as a digital download from a different site.
I converted all the songs to AAC, I ust thought it would help.
There is no option to add album artwork to individual songs. On an individual song, I click "get info" but there is no option to add art work to individual songs.
As of 7/24/12, I have the most recent version of iTunes.
Please help, this can't be this complicated.

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....

Why cant I add album art in itunes 5? ANNOYING!!!

Well... I really cant understand why the heck I cant add album art anymore?

Ok, ran into the same problem but it is related to 4.9 as well.
Reading those other posts and trying to figure out why all of sudden I can no longer add artwork, I was getting the message saying that "Album Artwork Not Modifiable" for an song I just added, then I notice other songs and albums were showing the same thing.
Then I notices an item that I had not notice before when I did a right click or control click, there was an option in the drop down menu that said convert to mp3, which I thought was odd since they were already mp3, for grins I did it and it converted. In the info window it said it was an mp3 encoded with itune 4.9 and guess what it now allowed me to add the artwork.
The other thing I notice was for all the songs which I added to my library they did not have any of the typical information about the file like sample rate and bit rate, not until I did the convert did that information show up.
So you will have to go through each song and do a convert to mp3 in your current version of itunes to get the artwork to show up which totally s#@ks....

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!
