Track List and Grouped Album Art not right

I purchased a 2 disc album from iTunes. I did nothing but click buy. I have not changed any default settings. When viewed under "+view grouped with artwork+", most tracks are separate instead of being grouped together under one album image. There are a few that are grouped together randomly. For example: +track 1 of 16 on Disc 1+ is with +track 1 of 15 on disc 2+, or +tracks 3, 4, 5, & 10 of 15 Disc 2+ are grouped together.
Another problem is with the order of the tracks. When I downloaded to my iPhone, the tracks are out of order. For example: +#16 of disc 2 is now #1+, +#1 of disc 1 is now #17 of 31+.
Finally, The artwork downloaded to my iPhone for most, _but not all_ of the tracks.
What on earth am I doing wrong!?!?
Thanks for your help

I've since started over from scratch with a 'clean' phone.  Formatted the SD Card, created Music & Videos folders & copied all respective files using a card reader with the PC.
SD Card installed in the phone & when switched on ALL tracks appear in respective artist/album location - only once.
Connecting the phone to the PC to add new albums results in all new albums being detected once BUT with NO artwork (cover image).  Deleting an album results in that being deleted the list available in the 'Music+Videos' App.  Copying the album back results in that being detected BUT with no artwork.
Trawling through the web, I've discovered a brilliant app MPAtool which magically restores the missing artwork. It's not 100% effective as it doesn't necessarily locate all artwork, but these can be found manually either by , locating them in Music or, if that also fails, copy the artwork to 'camera roll' & point MPAtool to that location.
So far, I've had no more duplications & all albums have their respective artwork.
It is also important to ensure that the MP3 tag is 100% correct.  Using Winamp to rip my CDs to MP3, the CDDB imports the information for artist, album, track etc & populates all the necessary locations without error.  However, some earlier MP3 tracks that I have had had erroneous entries which confuse the Windows 8 software.  Also when ripping albums with more than 1 CD, Winamp identified each CD as 1/2 & 2/2 with track numbers 1 - n on each rip which Windows 8 interprets as 2 albums.  I prefer to see all CDs in an album as one & use Tag & Rename to ensure at references to 1/2 & 2/2 are removed & track numbers are changed accordingly.

  • 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.

  • 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..?

  • Album Art not synching, I have 1 iphone 4s, 1 ipad G4, 2 ipod touch G4 and 1 ipod touch G3

    Hi, I have all the aforementioned devices listed, all with the latest ios version availabe for the device and allways have the latest version of itunes installed.
    when sysnching if the album art is provided by apple, then it will synch, but if is manually added it, some time it will be transferred and some time not, do not have  idea of what can be the problem. Please help. BTW and the album art that is/not transferred is differen in each device some time some song will get it on the ipod, some times it will not to go to the iphone and so on.
    Pleae help

    The update applied to the device is the update that the device qualifies for. In your case, all of the devices you listed qualify for the now current (Dec 17, 2014) iOS 8.1.2. If you update any of the devices you listed, they will be updated to iOS 8.1.2. You cannot install an intermediate iOS version (for example, iOS 7.1.2). Even if you had the .ipsw file (iPod Software Update) for your particular device with the version you wanted to update to, the update would fail as Apple checks the device along with what iOS version it's qualified for at the time of the update. If the iOS version you are trying to update the device to is older than what is current for your device, the update will not proceed.
    You can always choose to stay at your current iOS version on your devices and they will run/work just as before. However, if you want to run more recent apps that require iOS 7.x - iOS 8.x, you will need to update the device to iOS 8.x

  • Album art not showing up in itunes and iPod classic

    Can this issue be resolved? Any tips would be appreciated

    I'm sure it can. First of all, have you tried to "get album art"(by right-clicking and choosing it) as you signed into the iTunes store?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Album Art not appearing on iPhone

    For the life of me, I cannot change the songs from "Abbey Road" to appear as that album on my iPhone. By that I mean each individual song will have the album art when played, but in my list of albums, "Abbey Road" will appear blank. That, is, not the blue music note, but actually just white space. It's not a matter of the tracks not having identical info, as they do. I have repeatedly selected them all, got the info and made sure they have the same album title, band name, image for artwork. I have also tried removing the folder from the iTunes music library, then adding it to my library again, variations of this, etc. The files themselves will all look uniform with the album art if I go into Finder, etc. I tried renaming the album with jibberish like "AAAAAAAA" and it will work. Everything will be perfect...track names, artist info, album art....but then the second I go and change the jibberish to the words "Abbey Road," it gives me the white space again on my iPhone.

    SOLUTION:  After 48 hours, 100% of the artwork is now appearing.   If it's in iTunes, it's on the iPhone. 
    However, there's a few hoops I jumped through to make it all work: 
    In iTunes, if album art is not showing in the Grid view, buy you know you have album art associated with it, select Get Info on any of the tracks. Magically, the album art appears in Grid view.  Repeat for all albums with missing art.
    When you're all done with the art, in iTunes, select [store] [update iTunes Match]
    Wait 24 hours
    It appears that the iPhone processor is not fast enough to display album art quickly with a large library.  On my iPhone it takes about 10 seconds to load a full page of artwork in Album view.   If you're flipping quickly through your library, expect it to take a while to catch up.  It appears that album art is loaded via an Internet connection, because they do not load in Airplane mode. So, it seems that the robustness of this UI depends on your Internet connection. 
    Project is closed in my book. 
    Good luck with yours! 

  • How do you enter and display album liner notes

    Ipod Touch, 16gig, 2nd generation. I have a sizeable jazz collection and am ripping a lot of CDs. No problem on adding album art. Question is, how can I enter album information such as side men (like the album may be Cannonball Adderley, but I want to note that John Coltrane played tenor on tracks x, y and z), when the album was recorded and where, historic facts of interest, etc. When I right click an album I've entered in the music section, I go to a page where I add my album art and I see a comments section. Is that it? But, as important, when I'm listening to the album on my Touch, how do I retrieve the notes on the Touch screen to read them?
    Thanks for any help!

    Paste the liner notes into the lyrics field in iTunes. They will then be visible on the Touch when you tap the album art (not in Coverflow)

  • Album Art not showing up?

    Has anyone else had a problem with their album art not showing up in coverflip? These are all CD's that I own and ripped onto my computer with iTunes, and if I look at them in iTunes I can see the cover art. But when I turn my ipod sideways to flip through the albums, I see a bunch of black squares. Some of the albums I can see the artwork when it's not the selected album, but if I scroll to it, the art disappears and it's just an empty black square. The only albums where this seems to work properly are the ones I bought and downloaded digitally through iTunes, but most of my music collection is CD's, so I'm really hoping there's a way to fix this.
    I've already tried googling pictures of the album art and re-tagging the songs with the picture on there, and it does do a sync afterwards, but I'm still seeing black squares. I also tried deleting one of the albums from my ipod entirely, and reloading it, and that worked the first time I went into coverflip, but in subsequent tries it has reverted back to being just a black square.

    use the search discussions box. there are loads of threads on this. you definitely aren't alone
    the only real solution i've seen is to re-sync the problem tracks, i've probably missed some though, so it's worth looking around.

  • Podcast Get Info Album Art Not Saved for Future Episodes

    I have iTunes 8. I noticed most of my podcasts have album art showing in grid view. When I upgraded to 2.1 on my iPhone and synced my iPhone I noticed no album art on the podcast main page on the iPhone. I decided to restore the phone to a new phone not backup and the new sync of my podcasts showed album art. However inside each podcast the album art wasn't showing on each episode.
    Looking at iTunes for those affected episodes doing a Get Info showed not album art. I guess the podcast doesn't have album art. I right click on the podcast, not an episode, and select get info. I click on the album art box and check the box and inside the album art box double click which brings up a navigation display. I had already taken a screen shot of the album art in the iTunes music store for each podcast. I import the graphic to the album art box and save. All the current episodes have their artwork updated. Now I sync to the iPhone and all is well.
    If I download a new episode for this podcast and do a Get Info on this episode there is no artwork. Looking at the Get Info for the podcast the artwork was never saved. However if you change a text field in Get Info and then download a new podcast episode that text field in the get info of the episode is updated. Why doesn't the album art not get saved and update each episode that is downloaded with missing album art?
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks

    Yeah, on my iPhone some of the album art for my podcasts was actaully changed to an arbitrary incorrect image. For example, instead of the Cranky Geeks logo, I get to look at New Kids on the Block (don't ask). I'm going to try unsubscribing from the podcast, deleting past episodes from my computer, sync the phone so it wipes out those old episodes and incorrect art, and then resubscribing and resyncing the phone. Hopefully that will transfer the correct art back up to the phone.

  • Songs Won't Play, Album Art Not Modifiable, ID3 Tags, Need Help

    I have a 32 GB iPod Touch, Windows Vista, the latest version of iTunes and Quicktime as well as the latest iPod software.
    I noticed the other day that a bunch of my songs were missing album art. I have a library with almost 7,000 songs and I have album art for everything. I went to the songs to attempt to fix the album art and noticed that it said, Album Art Not Modifiable, in the Album Art preview screen. I thought that was weird and it wouldn't let me add new album art to these albums.
    I also noticed that none of these songs would play. They wouldn't play on my iPod or on iTunes. You can click play and it looks like it's going to play, but the counter never leaves "0".
    I thought something was wrong with my files and that I would have to re rip or download the songs. However, by chance I opened one of the songs in Window Media Player and it worked, so I knew the files were fine.
    I did a search online and found several people with the same problem and a few things to try. But nothing worked until I stumbled upon a solution of setting the ID3 tags to version "None", then setting them to version 2.4. I tried it and it worked.
    But now it keeps happening, I get a new group of albums every day that won't play.
    Can anyone tell me what is causing this?
    How do I prevent it?
    Do I really need to take every song in my library and change the ID3 tags, that could take forever?
    Could anyone please help and shed some light on this.
    Thank You

    Thanks for replying, Please read our Operating System details before taking a guess about what 'could' be the problem...
    I think I figured it out anyway, Windows Media Player might be adding extra information that iTunes does not like, either Windows Media Player and/or iTunes 7.7.1 don't conform to ID3 v2.4 standards...
    Please fix your software, Apple. I know how you love to be unique and mock PC users with your one-sided advertisements but at least conform to the ID3 standards.

  • The song palying and the album are not the same.

    When I'm playing my music on my iphine, the song and the album are not the same. Sometimes they are not even close to the same thing.

    hi
    You have to click on the song with the right click (or Option Click) and click on get information,
    in that menu you can define the order in the album

  • Album Art Not Displaying/Disappearing

    I've had the iTouch for a week & all of a sudden most of the album art disappeared from the iTouch. I synced again, some came back but much of the album art does not display even though it's in the iTunes library. Also, album art is duplicated for other/different artists. What's happening? Any solutions?

    This is also happening to me.
    First the album art vanished, and then I would resync, and the album art would go to different albums.
    my Breaking Benjamin album art went on my Frank Sinatra album, and my Gnarls Barkley album.
    My 50 Cent album art went to the Brad paisley album, and the Rufus Wainwright album .This is doing this, even after I updated the iPod.

  • Installing art when "Album Art Not Modifiable"

    I was recently trying to drag and drop album artwork into the iTunes photo receptacle in the lower left hand corner and noticed that it read "Album Art Not Modifiable". Does that mean I can't paste anything there? There's no art at all currently, even when I ask iTunes to find the album art for that CD. If anyone knows of a way to override this, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

    Is that really true?
    'Cause being new to this, I've only just added a few albums as .wav and succesfully downloaded album art, using the functionality within Itunes. And this should not have been possible?For instance Loretta Lynn "Van Lear Rose", Emmylou Harris "Stumble into grace" and Elvis Costello/Burt Bacharach "Painted from Memory" all worked just fine. But Itunes was not able to download album art for all my albums - Simply Red "Greatest Hits" from 1996 was one that did not work. So I browsed the internet and was able to find jpegs of this album art, which I know have stored locally. But how do I get that into Itunes?
    brgds,
