Resolved for all our podcasts - Yours will be too ... Just takes time to add...

Repurposing audio with cover art

Long before there was such a thing as an "enhanced podcast" I attempted to achieve the same result with a playlist of audio files, each with it's own cover art. This worked reasonably well, especially on later models of the iPod where you could get the image to stay at its largest size,
Today, I would like to repurpose those files but I can't seem to get the audio (male voice narration) tp play correctly in a GB track. When I drag one of these *.aiff files to a GB track, it sounds like superfast chipmunks. When I play the same file in GB using the Media Browser, it sounds as it should.
How do I get a voice narration audio file to play back as it was recorded?
Might this problem be due to the cover art associated with each audio file? Where is the cover art stored anyway? Is it embedded in the audio file somehow? If so, can it be extracted?

ITunes 7.71 problem with cover art for 24 bit AIFF files

I am unable to add cover art to 24 bit AIFF files. Was able to do this with iTunes 7.7.

I think I have discovered the same problem (no solution, unfortunately, though) working with some shared files from GarageBand, which I believe are 24 bit AIFF at this point. I will have to check when I get back to the computer with my stuff on it, but at least I don't think I'm going crazy when I tried to save.
I could put artwork into the "info" area, and it would stay there so long as the track was playing, but once the track re-played, the artwork was gone. I have even synched my iPod and iPhone, and the artwork has shown there, but I have to try synching when the track is NOT playing to see if it is only capturing the artwork while it's on the file. But, I thought that was weird as well.
I will keep coming back here until hopefully a solution is posted. Here. Or somewhere. Any similar experiences, please also post. I feel better knowing others are experiencing the same or differing but similar difficulties.

Export .m4a Audio File with Cover Art?

Hi, I recently upgraded to GarageBand 10.0.1 after purchasing a new MBP and have been mostly successful in finding all of the changes in the app, except this one. I use GB to create an audio podcast weekly, and in previous versions, I had the ability to export an audio file with the iTunes cover art already attached to it. I cannot find this feature in GB 10.0.1. Am I missing something? Thx for your time and any help given.

That is disappointing. Usually Apple is better about taking away steps to creating things, not adding to the number of steps required to create things.
GarageBand has been released a bit early. I am hoping, there is more to come. Otherwise, the installer would not have left the old version installed. It is a clear sign, that Apple knows, that some important features are still missing in GB 10.0. For the time being, I am starting the projects in GB '11, and add the finishing touches - drummer, arpeggiator in GarageBand 10.0.

Help with cover art and explicit channel?

Have recently made a podcast with friends and just got it accepted by itunes, it hasn't appeared yet but am waiting on that.
I was never asked by my RSS aiding software, or by itunes about the explicit tag and as such it doesn't have one. It does kind of need it, and all the advice I have found on this page so far about adding the tag makes no difference.
Also, the cover art won't appear: but for the moment this is less major

If your podcast contains sexual or strong language you must have this tag in the top section of the feed (between the 'channel' tag and the first 'item' tag' and also within the 'item' tags for each episode affected:
<itunes:explicit>yes</itunes:explicit>
Failure to include this tag will get you rejected.
Artwork: the image which appears in the Store page is referenced in the 'itunes:image' tag in the feed - it can take several days before it appears as it's cached separately.
The image which appears in iTunes when you subscribe is not referenced in the feed but has to be actually embedded in the media file for each episode - please see this page:

MAJOR Cover Art bugs in iTunes 7.x.x

Here are some interesting observations in discovering MAJOR Cover Art bugs in iTunes 7.x.x
1. Importing CDs
If you import a CD, you must wait for complete import to finish in hopes that all songs will populate successfully with cover art. Even here, success is random.
If you request cover art during the import, there are mixed results.
iTunes should be smart enough to detect if any album exists with partial cover art in the library database, then those tracks with missing cover art will be automatically detected and updated.
2. Missing Cover Art
This occurs on 2 levels:
a. iTunes Store may just not have cover art for some (older) albums
b. iTunes Store does find the cover art, but it is not applied to *all tracks* on the album
The workarounds bring mixed results.
I have resorted to the "Get Info" approach and pasted cover art to random album tracks where cover art was only partly applied by iTunes.
In other cases, I scanned in the CD cover and applied it to albums where iTunes found no cover art. I assumed this would be a one-time fix as I expected some minimal tweaking would be involved in managing cover art.
No such luck! Here is why iTunes cover art represents a MAJOR bug in version 7.x.x
Day 1: I spend many hours tweaking and fine-tuning the cover art, assuming iTunes will "save" all my work. I browse different albums/tracks and everything looks great!
Day 2: Looks like iTunes only "saved" some of this effort. Sure enough, certain complete albums and random tracks from other albums now show NO cover art! How frustrating!
* * * Here is what is MORE DISTURBING about this Cover Art bug! * * *
I resort to thinking about more workarounds, and here are the results:
Hmmmm. Looks like if I paste in the Cover Art twice on certain album tracks, the Cover Art is now applied to that track. Meaning, if you do a "Get Info" on a track, you will see two pastes in the Cover Art tab, yes, you add the cover art twice, one cover next to the other so as to force that album track to get the cover art to attach. On the surface, this seemed to work, and all album tracks now seem populated with Cover Art and the effort appears "saved" when I revisit the album on Day 2.
But all is not what it appears. The trick of adding missing cover art twice, in the hopes that an album and/or certain random album tracks might adopting the cover art you are trying to assign will produce the following:
IT ACTUALLY AFFECTS THE AUDIO TRACK!!!!
Multiple attempts to add/fix cover art will ADD TO TRACK DURATION, such that when you play a track, the lead-in portion of the lyrics (say first 10 secs or so) will REPEAT in as many times as you tried to add the cover art!!!!
Thinking this might be a corrupt library database, I even deleted the database, started over, and while adding missing cover art, was able to reproduce the lyrics repeating on those tracks where the cover art was added (pasted) twice. You can HEAR and see the increased track duration in iTunes 7.x.x
MAJOR Cover Art bug!!! So you are not alone. And besides all the wasted hours trying to fix this, I say wait for iTunes 8.x
Please post and let me know if you have had the same experience with this cover art bug and similar workarounds.
C'mon Apple! PLEASE FIX THIS. What gives?

You can tell iTunes to "Clear Downloaded Artwork" to get rid of the wrong image.
Getting iTunes to select the correct image, especially for compilations can be quite frustrating. I've been slowly cleaning up some old artwork from when iTunes could not pull artwork from the iTunes Store for music from other sources. I've learned to check the album in question by using the iTunes Store link in iTunes - I figure if it goes right the the album I'm all set - Wrong! Today I'm doing battle with a bunch of "20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection" albums. I can go through the album song by song and every one goes right to the correct album - but when I "Get Album Artwork" it still may not find the album or will pull in volume 2 instead of volume 1, etc. I've tried making sure my albums names are exact matches to the iTunes store with the same bad results.
It really seems like iTunes uses a different search method for artwork than for the iTunes Store link. At least Google has an image search...

Bridge for Mac without cover arts from iTunes

Hello,
I just upraded to Sony Bridge for Mac 3.9 (3903) and since then no cover art from iTunes albums is displayed any more.
Previous Version of the Bridge had already some difficulties with Cover Art, mainly regarding TIFF-images. But now
nothing at all is displayed.
Of course I have restarted the application as well as the Mac itself - no change of the behaviour occured.
Do I still have any options to try?
with best regards
Matthias
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
I have mostly MP3-Files in my iTunes library (90%). Even purchased songs are converted to MP3 because of the higher compression, even with 160 kbit/s and VBR. But I think regarding coverart the graphics format is more important. Here native Apple cover art seems to be generally TIFF, which sometimes makes problems with Bridge for Mac, esp. larger images. If I convert those large TIFF-images to JPEG, the problems disappear most of the times.
And "Yes", I sent a bug report to SONY directly.
Thank you very much - Matthias

Most cover art disappeared after syncing

I just put a few more CDs onto my iTunes, and after I synced my iPod, all the cover art except for the few CDs I just added disappeared from the iPod. It's all still in my iTunes though. All pictures for video are gone too, but my photos still work fine. (The iPod is a Classic 160 GB)
Thoughts? Ideas?

I was having a similar problem. For me it happens only with ripped tracks not available through iTunes. My solution was to uncheck “Automatically download missing album artwork” on the General Tab under Preferences.
Once I unchecked it, the disappearing covers stopped happening. Although it was an intermittent problem, it's now been 5 months since I changed it and I haven't lost any artwork.
This solution also has one obvious drawback. While iTunes purchased music is still downloaded with cover art, once you uncheck the "automatically download missing album artwork" box, music you rip and then import into iTunes won't have cover art. My take is I'd rather add cover art once when I import a song, then constantly have to re add random batches of artwork.
All I can figure is that when you have "get artwork" checked, iTunes goes through your library and replaces all artwork added by hand because it doesn't recognize either the file type or naming convention. For the most part we don't notice it, but when it hits a song it doesn't own the rights too, blam, gonzo.
Further proof that iTunes doesn't recognize or like the hand added cover art is that I had a song that iTunes automatically downloaded the wrong cover art for (van halen 1 instead of 2). I fixed it with the right cover from Amazon but I noticed it changed back to the wrong cover about a week later.
I have a couple of blog entries about this problem that go into further detail, check them out here:

Cover art for pdf books in ibook library

Hi have tried for days to get covers on my pdf books that are in my ibook library but i can't find the answer. Have tried various methods and it is driving me insane!!! Have tried calibre, get the cover but when i try and open the book nothing happens, have tried to add a page to the pdf document but there is nowhere to let me insert a page, have read loads of things on google but nothing is working. Please help it would be greatly appreciated.
thanx

If you have a Mac computer, you can just open your PDF in preview and drag a picture into the sidebar to make it the first page then save it.
If you only have Windows computer, you can use acrobat full version to edit your PDF file.
Or you can convert cover art picture to PDF format, then combine it with book PDF file by some PDF merge tool.

I'm having cover art issues...

I love audiobooks, but I'm having issues with cover art showing up. When in "audiobooks" view in iTunes all of my cover art shows up, but when I switch to "authors" view some authors have cover art next to their names while others doesn't. I suppose I'm a little OCD but I really like having cover art next to the author's names.
I noticed this happened after I did a bit of editing so it may be my fault. Several of my audiobooks are series. For example, Christopher Paolini wrote the Inheritance Cycle which consists of Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr & Inheritance. I recently combined the files into one "album" while letting the track names differentiate between the individual books.
1 Eragon (Part 1).m4b
1 Eragon (Part 2).m4b
2 Eldest (Part 1).m4b
2 Eldest (Part 2).m4b
3 Brisngr (Part 1).m4b
3 Brisinger (Part 2).m4b
4 Inheritance (Part 1).m4b
4 Inheritance (Part 2).m4b
Each book has it's own cover art and when I send the whole series to my iPhone they show up as one audiobook "The Interitance Cycle" with the 8 files listed above being listed as tracks. When clicking on the individual files to play them, they display the cover art for the book they represent. Seemed like an easy way to consolidate my files until the cover art next to author names started disappearing in iTunes. Any help would be appreciated.

Well I'm here to own up. My dad was over today and he has an iPad 2 with iOS 7.1.1 and mine ran 6.1.2. Over the table both on my wifi I tried to call him on facetime and he tried to call me, in both cases it failed due to lost connection as previously discussed. He said they had used it to call my brother in england yesterday with no issue.
I bit the bullet and decided with extreme reluctance to do the upgrade. I did a full backup whilst downloading the update on my windows pc and after the sync I applied the update. Luckily for apple's sake the facetime connection now works both ways but I'm still left with this hideously atrocious UI color scheme. I can however report that i can see no noticable reduction in performance so far. As per suggested on some sites I disabled automatic downloads & updates and tweaked the accessibility settings to "reduce motion" and "increase contrast" including enabling button shapes and reducing white point. Everything seems to work fine and Thankfully I don'rt feel like I have a hobbled device. Clearly something between 7.0 and 7.1.1 has brought iPad 2 back up to speed so to speak.
Oh and I still hate you Apple, cheers.

ITunes is deleting my album cover art + songs -- please help!

Hello:
I am running Windows 7 and iTunes v. 9.2.0.61. Just recently, from Grid view, iTunes seems to be deleting cover art as well as songs. It seems to be chance when it happens, but when it does happen, it is always this way:
- From Grid view (album thumbnails), I double click on an album thumbnail, and the album art image disappears. I CANNOT re-add the art to that particular album after that, either, even manually.
- The album folder opens up after the double-click, and then when I double click a song to play it, it starts playing, but then I notice it has disappeared from the tracklist. I cannot select it again -- it is GONE. I checked to see if in fact the song is deleted not only from iTunes, but from my C: drive storage location, and it is GONE. DELETED for GOOD.
What is going on here? This is very frustrating, and I wonder if anyone else has experienced the same thing. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

Nobody can help???? Please -- this is a VERY BAD glitch/bug/whatever you want to call it...it is permanently deleting my music!

Copying cover art from iTunes for use in iPhoto?

I have a large music library with cover art for each album, I manually added the cover art to iTunes by saving it as a .jpeg under the name of the artist and album on the desktop and dragging and dropping it into the appropriate album in iTunes. I then apparently erred by deleting the .jpeg from the desktop rather than saving it in a separate folder. When I look in the Album Artwork folder, it just leads me down a road of more folders and ultimately to an ".itc" cover (which I assume to mean iTunes Cover). Now I want to somehow get a .jpeg copy of the cover art back out of iTunes and into a separate folder so I can view the cover art in iPhoto. Is this possible? I really hope my error is reversible. All assistance will be appreciated.

Hi,
I'm pretty new to FCE, so this might be useless. But I've found a trick (obtained from "Final Cut Express 2 Editing Workshop" by Tom Wolsky) which is to render audio at Item Level. It allows you to render a piece of music to the same sampling level as another item.
It seems to work fine, but some of these guys who've used this more might know of problems when using it.
Import your song from the Music folder (or wherever you have them stored) and just go into the Sequence/Render All or Render Selection menus and check the "Item Level." The next time you render your audio, it should render to the same properties as existing items in your project.
At least, that's how I gather it works. This won't help with copy protected songs as the guys mentioned, but the majority of my songs are not from the iTunes store, so it's useful to me. Hope that helps!

MP3 Cover Art?

I have an MP3 with Cover Art embedded. When I add it to my iphone using itunes and play the music I see the cover art. However if I email the MP3 to myself and open the attached file the music player that comes up does not show the cover art. Am I doing something wrong with the one I am emailing or does the audio player used to play back MP3s that come through email not support Cover Art?

Could you please tell us the name of this program?
