Transfer artwork to mp3 file

Hi.
Is it possible to transfer (copy) the artwork directly into the mp3 file instead of keeping the artwork inside the iTunes library?
Thanks

I was trying to solve this problem, too, so I wrote a script that (a) extracts the album artwork from iTunes (placing it in a "album artwork" subdirectory in your Windows temp directory), and then (b) resets the artwork for the selected tracks (and in the process, incorporates the artwork into the mp3 files).
You may download it by right clicking on this link, http://www.robertmryan.com/tech/ResetArtwork.vbs , and selecting to save the file to your local machine. Then, in iTunes, select the tracks for which you want to integrate the artwork into the mp3 file, and then run this program. This VB script is just a text file, so feel free to open up the script in your favorite text editor if you want to see what it's doing.
This works for me, but iTunes scripting is a little flaky, so I don't make any promises. I used it successfully on Windows 7 and iTunes 9.0 and 9.1. I'd suggest trying it with just one or two tracks first and make sure it works, before you run it on all of your tracks. It's also a bit slow: It took about an hour or so with 10,000 tracks on my reasonably fast machine.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

Transfer and using mp3 files

Hello,
I'm a new user from apple products.
I don't know how I can transfer mp3 files to my iphone. Do you know?
can I use bluetooth? can I use wifi?
I have some mp3 files in my computer but I can't transfer to my iphone.
I need to use itunes? how?
Thanks and merry chrismas

Welcome to the forums.
You need to transfer your music using iTunes -- you plug your phone in and choose "sync" and it will transfer whatever music you tell it to. The best way is to create one or more playlists and choose these to transfer to the phone.
The phone itself can use bluetooth headsets, but you cannot transfer information this way. The phone itself will connect to the web via wi-fi but, once again, does not transfer this way.
Install the latest iTunes (7.5 or greater), attach your phone via the USB adapter provided (with or without the dock) and then sync it. Note: you will also need to first initialize it (nothing in the phone will work without first establishing phone service to whatever carrier you are using).

Placing customized artwork on mp3 file?

I would like to add our school logo or customized artwork to our mp3 recordings. Is there an easy way to do this? It seems like the "tag and rename" option is all about finding album art and attaching it to a song, which is not exactly what I want to do. Thanks for any help.

Sorry, i forgot to mention that my art work is missing from my file only when it is on my desktop, and that if i move the file to a folder, the artwork appears, but then when i move it back to the desktop, the art work is still missing.

How can I transfer mp3 files from my PC to my Ipod Touch 4?

I have an Ipod Touch 4 that was given to me. I use it almost exclusively to listen to audio books downloaded from various libraries. Once upon a time long ago I did manage to download some music (mp3 files) to the Ipod but I have no idea how. Now I would like to transfer some additional mp3 files to the Ipod but I have no idea how to do so and I have not been able to find any instructions that make sense using Google. I should also mention that I find ITunes to be the most confusing non-discoverable software I have every encountered. The instructions for dummies won't do. When it comes to ITunes I need the instructions for someone who can just barely find the on/off switch with both hands in daylight. Thanks for any help.
P.S. I developed business application software for 40 years so I am PC literate, just not ITunes and Ipod literate.<g>

How do I transfer mp3 files from my Win XP desktop to my ipad2 ?

I installed Itunes on my Windows XP Pro desktop system. I eventually created two separate folders on itunes
to organize mp3 files.
But I'll be dammed if I can get those mp3s on itunes to transfer to the iPad2. I have turned on match under the
store tab, in Itunes.
I have looked for something to activate it on the ipad. The iPad2 lists recent purchases.
(These voice mp3s are not music) It lists all songs. It has a tab which says download all songs.
It does nothing.
There is a tab for 'not on this iPad', it doesn't do anything.
There is a tab for the cloud. It doesn't do anything.
I have wasted 1 1/2 hrs getting nowhere. Not impressed, Apple.
When I plugged in the USB cable to the desktop, I did see my photos and videos, period, nothing more.

You can use 3rd party apps like Music Download.

How do I transfer MP3 files from my PC to iPhone

Although I've read many items concerning this issue I still can NOT understand how to transfer some of my MP3 files to my iPhone. When I attempt to transfer or sync song from my iTunes it states it will erase all of the other songs I have on there. I did do this once when I first got the phone but have totally forgotten how I did it.
I do not want my entire Library transferred to my phone, just certain songs that are on my PC. I thought it had been a pretty easy task.
Can someone give me the steps for doing this?
Thanks.

Iphone is only meant to be sync to one itunes media library. That is why you're seeing the message about erasing all the songs. Did you sync those other song from a different itunes library?

I cannot copy or transfer mp3 files stored on external drive back into itunes so i can listen to book again

Hi,
I mostly use itunes for listening to audiobooks which I have been collecting for years. Have hundreds of them. A few years ago when computer too full and my itunes library too big I carefully copied the books onto an external hard drive as mp3 files and then removed them from itunes. (At that stage I really wanted a non itunes library backup as I had already lost library a couple of times....now I understand the itunes back up a bit more and can use it.)
However I have lots of my favourite books on an external drive and I want to listen to them again. I cannot go to the folder holding a book, select all the the mp3 files that make up the book and drag them into my itunes music file as I can with a mp3 disc. There are 73 files on the first book i want to move!
Itunes has been selected as the default player and will play the files but I cannot transfer them.
Under details on a file it reads NOT PROTECTED
I am the administrator of my computer, indeed am its only user.
Cannot think of anything else that might be useful.
hope you can help
Elizabeth

luckily that is also backed up on the external drive too so I'll try looking there, but do you have any thoughts on why I can't get the backed up files to stay on the PC correctly ? because until they are back on my PC I can't use it or get the rankings back right?

I converted aif files to mp3 files in I tunes so I could put them on a flash drive. Now when I transfer an album to the flash drive I get both the aif files and the mp3 files in the flash drive. How do I get the iTunes to only copy the smaller file?

My suggestion to use the smart playlist was more along the lines of making one list with rules to show everything in your library as long as it was kind "mpeg" (= mp3).
Smart playlists cannot be edited manually, only by changing the rules. You can use them as the basis for another smart playlist though.
There is added overhead to using smart playlists, so don't go overboard.

After update (10.7-10.8) Why is album artwork missing, though the artwork is present in Mp3 file?

I recently updated from Lion 10.7 to Marverick 10.8. My library seems to be intact, all files and previous library organization is as previous. Yet, When I am viewing the library, much of the artwork is missing. (Nearly all apart from recent purchases). However, when the file is being played the artwork is viewable in the smaller panel where the currect track information is displayed. The artwork is also present in each MP3 file, (viewed from finder, or via get info).
Am I missing any preference setting? Any ideas?
PS: running latest version of iTunes 11.1.3

Edit: That is updated from 10.7 (Lion) - 10.9 (Mavericks) latest OS release
* I have also noticed that a fix is to open the info for the first track in each release / album, and press copy+paste in the artwork tag section. Then, artwork is shown for each track in the album.
If anyone knows why this may have happened, I'd be interested to know, as I have a lot of music.

How do I transfer song info in iTunes Library back to mp3 files?

1. some info of my songs in my itunes library is different from the info stored in the respective mp3 files
2. I want the song info in the itunes library to be preserved
3. but when I play a song in iTunes, iTunes would automatically obtain song info from the mp3 file and update iTunes Library.
4. And I have many files like that
Quesiton: Is there a way I could transfer the song info in my itunes library back into the mp3 files?
thanks a lot if anyone has any idea!!

The album, artist, etc information displayed in the iTunes library comes from the ID3 tags in the MP3 song files. If you change it in iTunes (using Get Info), iTunes updates the file. iTunes does not automatically change it.
There may be other programs running that are changing it, e.g. the automatic setting in Windows Media Player.

New updates won't transfer any MP4 or MP3 files anymore!

Ok... before the itune and ipod update, I've had absolutely no problem transfering my mp4 video files or my mp3 files into my ipod. I usually just drag the icons from my folder to itunes.
Now after updating in itunes 7 and updating my ipod through it, I cant transfer any mp4 or mp3 files anymore?!?!? What the heck? It will show it transfering at the top (of itunes) but I cant locate ANY of the new files I placed in my ipod. I ALWAYS use manual update and I dont want to change it because I dont want to lose all of my stuff on my ipod.
What the heck is the problem???

WAIT A SEC!!!! i think i've figured it out... just DOUBLE check and TRIPLE check that you have the LATEST version of quicktime... I thought I did, but as it turned out, i had version 7.0.4 when the latest is 7.1. So after i upgraded quicktime, itunes worked fine, and i was able to load videos onto both itunes and my ipod successfully.... even the 1.2 update stopped causing problems. Once again, just MAKE SURE you have the latest update of quicktime. You don't need to go pro, just make sure you have 7.1. I hope this works for everyone like it did for me...
