Transfering MP3 library from Media Player to itunes music came but not art

I transfered about 30mb of mp3 encoded music from my Media Player library to iTunes. The software said it was reading the artwork but nothing appears in iTunes. Is there something else to do beyond letting iTunes read the library?

Hi there,
I believe that unless iTunes has imported the music itself then it will not be able to get the album art automatically.
If you have all the artwork in the folders then you may have to go through each song and add the album art to it.
Remember you can highlight more than one song and use Get Info to add album art if they are all from the same album.
Hope this was helpfull!
Paul

    I have an iPhone 4. I recently updated. It loaded all my iTunes music purchases but not the music I had on my computer. This music was on my iPhone before I updated. I have tried re-sycing but not getting anywhere. Says it cannot locate my music files but I see it on my lap top but cannot play it or get it on my iPhone. Can anyone walk me through this?

    Thanks.  I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
    Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
    Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
    Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
    It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
    Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data.  Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
    Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

  • Transfering music from media player to itunes

    I am having trouble transfering music playlists from my media player to itunes. I have tried the 'add a folder' and 'add a file' options and when I click it nothing happens. I have also tried moving the playlists to different files and tryig to add the folder and files and have also been unsuccessful. I have also tried to 'open playlist in itunes' but still does not transfer. It rips CDs ok but can't find a way to transfer music.

    Have you tried creating a fresh media library in iTunes or re-installing iTunes? MP3's should not be a problem at all as you might suspect using a "MP3 player"

  • Putting music from Media Player into iTunes???

    So....I just recently bought my Nano. I have lots of songs on my computer (that I put on there from my CDs) in Windows Media Player 10. When I connected to iTunes (to put music on my iPod) some of my previous songs from Media Player were put into iTunes, yet there are still LOTS of songs not in the iTunes Library. And I don't think that they didn't transfer because they are "protected", it has to be something else. I've tried dragging, copying, nothing is 'allowed'. I've gone to about every window, menu, and help/support site in both iTunes and Windows Media Player. This is almost a last resort.
    Thank you SO much if you have ANY information at all!!!

    I'm having the same problem, can someone help us?????

  • Want to access iTunes music store but not in a 'valid' country

    Hi, I'd really appreciate any help anyone can offer. I want to be able to buy music and videos for my new iPod and I have registered online. When I go to buy something with my credit card from the iTunes store, apparently you have to have an address for your credit card and a list of country's excluding Australia comes up. The problem is there is only about a dozen countries on the list and mine is not one of them so I can't pay by credit card. What can I do???

    I really wish I was informed when I bought my ipod, that Itunes music store is not available in NZ and we don’t know when or IF it is going to be. Am feeling totally ripped off as one of the reasons I bought my ipod on Sunday was so I could download Audio books off itunes for when I am travelling. Now I go online and find out that I cant even download a measly single let alone a audio book.
    Was feeling so excited about having my ipod and now just feel ripped off and extremely disappointed with Apple and the Apple salespeople. You are told how great itunes is and how you can download video, songs, books etc (when you are buying your Ipod) then once you have paid you $579+ (just for the ipod, let alone another $300 on accessories and warranty) you find out you can't download anything from itunes. Am pretty disgusted really! I researched my purchase, was going to go for a CREATIVE merely so could access NZ download sites, but was talked out of it by the sales person who showed me itunes and how great it is and I do think the IPOD itself is fantastic but wish I had of bought that CREATIVE so at least then I could have downloaded songs; books etc immediately. Bad Form from Apple, particularly given the amount of money I just spent :(((

  • Can't move MP3's from Real Player into ITunes

    i'm not sure how it has happened but my 'Real Player' music files & MP3's no longer automatically launch into I-Tunes. It looks as though ITunes is no longer my default player but when i try to rectify this i get a message saying "An error occurred while updating the default player for audio. You do not have enough access priveliges for this operation" !!! (This comes as a surprise as it is my computer!!!).
    I don't remember changing anything other than instaling LastFM recently (this has now been uninstalled).
    Any ideas what i can to make Itunes my default player again?
    thanks

    LastFM probably changed the settings on you. As is often the case, uninstalling doesn't remove/reset everything associated with the file.
    Have you tried changing the association manually or just with iTunes?

  • Duplicates in iTunes Music Folder but not in iTunes

    If this has been addressed already, please forgive me, but in my User>Music>iTunes Music Folder each of over 6000 songs has a duplicate.
    They don't show up as duplicates in iTunes or under Show Duplicates.
    Is there anyway I can get rid of the 6000+ extra tunes other than clicking on each duplicate and dragging it to the trash?
    tia,
    Bob

    Steve,
    I started over by trashing everything in my User > iTunes file and relaunched iTunes.
    Then I went to iTunes Menu > File > Add to Library where I re-imported all of my tunes into iTunes from by backup file on my external hard drive.
    I then Consolidated the library (whatever that means); now, I'm back in business.
    Here is a link that might help indirectly: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329
    hth, Bob
    p.s. If you don't have your music backed up externally, you can get the tunes into iTunes directly from you iPod using this: http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/

  • Files showing up in iTunes Music folder, but not in iTunes

    I just transferred a bunch of music into my iTunes Music folder on a new laptop, but it's not showing up in iTunes. If I open each file manually, it'll show up fine, but I've got enough music that it would take forever. Is there a quick way to fix this? (I'm running Vista, in case that's relevant.)
    Thanks!

    File > Add Folder to Library, and point it to the music folder. It will scan the folder and all subfolders, and anything that is not already in the library will be added.

  • Song files in iTunes Music folder but not iTunes itself

    I have some song files in my Music folder that used to be in iTunes, but now they are gone from iTunes itself (they are still in the folder). When I drag the songs from the folder to iTunes, nothing happens and the songs are not added. Is there any way to fix this or do I have to re-install iTunes?

    What format are they? Are they purchased content from the iTunes Store?
    Some formats are not recognized by iTunes. Also, for obvious reasons, some are imported into the Video and Movie sections.
    If you try to add purchased content before authorizing the computer, they may not show up.
    Where did these files come from? Are they from a backup?

  • Music in itunes music folder but not recognized in itunes?

    So a few days back my Itunes library crashed. Itunes tried to recover it, but only recovered part of my library and then told me my library was damaged. So long story short, after several different attempts to get all my songs back into Itunes, here is the crossroad that I am at now.
    I have all my songs in the Itunes music folder. But for some reason, none of those songs are being recognized in Itunes when it opens up. Any advice on how to get it to recognized in Itunes instead of having an empty library? Thanks in advance for all your help, this is has been a HUGE headache to say the least.

    Move the existing iTunes folder to another location while iTunes isn't running, and then drag it into the open iTunes window. iTunes does not look at the content of the iTunes music folder directly to determine what is in the library; it accesses a support file and shows the content referenced by that file. The Mac OS X version of iTunes places content added to the iTunes library into the iTunes music folder by default.
    This method will not preserve playcounts and other information associated with the songs, which is stored in a support file and not with the songs.

  • Problem with import files from windows media player into iTunes

    When I have tried to import my .wav lossless files created under windows media player into iTunes I use File, add folder to library but when the action is completed I get all of the files under the heading 'unknown album' with 'unknown artist'.
    Does anyone know that I need to do in order to include the artist and album ?
    Many thanks,
    John.

    You'll first need to add the MP3s to your iTunes library since the iPod is not compatible with Windows Media Player. You can use, for example, the File > Add to Library menu to do this.

  • Moving music files from windows media player to itunes

    when I first got my ipod, only half of my music files moved from windows media player into itunes. Is there anyway I can import the rest of the music from windows media player into Itunes? I have tried using the import function and add file or folder to library and they do not seem to work!

    iTunes will not accept Window Media player tracks that are protected. If you imported them off your own CDs, did you check the option to apply protection to them? If so, your only choice is to re-rip those CDs.

  • Downloading iTunes into PC that has music in folders from Media Player....

    I downloaded iTunes into a PC that has LOTS of music in files from Windows Media Player and other music software. Download went fine...and then, the music started to import from those files...
    and ALL of it copied twice into iTunes...
    I did note it copied from the original files AND created an iTunes library.
    How can it get it NOT to do the the songs twice?
    I have since uninstalled iTunes and deleted the iTunes library.
    Thank you,

    Hello there,
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes.
    It all depends on if you have a Mac or PC with how you copy your music over. The first link after the Apple support document below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
    Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your new computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
    Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer." From there, restore your iPod and sync it with your newly enlarged library.
