Uneditable art on tracks with missing art

Hi, I have a small problem with some of my albums, for one or two random tracks I am unable to add / edit arkwork... if I right click on the track "Get Info", I am given four tabs - Summary, Info, Sorting & Options... usually there is a fith tab for artwork, indeed it is there for the adjacent tracks that have artwork.
I have tried moving my music from my iTunes folder before deleting it & starting afresh with iTunes, but the problem persists.
Can anyone shed any light on this, or what may be causing it?
Many Thanks

When you rip/import your own CD's, you have to manually copy and paste album artwork into each song....although you may already know that. I just thought I'd mention that.....because I had a friend that did not know that. They thought if they copied and pasted on the first song....that it would automatically show up on all songs on that album.

Listing tracks/albums with missing art

Is there any sensible way to list out only the songs/albums that are missing album art?
Wading through all of them manually in the "Cover Flow" view is not an option, I've got far to much music for that.
If I could pull out a "missing art" report of some sort I'd atleast have a decent starting point for scanning/downloading covers.
On a related note; Is it possible to "tag" albums you don't want iTunes to process when downloading art? A "Missing arts" view/filter would solve this, i suppose.
(Highlighting all tracks in this view and fetching the art for only those.)
Also; is it possible to exclude tracks I know there won't be any art for?

Please go the following website - http://dougscripts.com/itunes/. Doug's scripts is an invaluable resource for this. Search using managing artwork. You will find a script that will copy all songs w/o artwork to a playlist. It will search you whole library. Not sure if you can exclude some, but why bother. Once you have the songs w/o artwork identified, you can add the artwork, delete songs form the list or delete the whole list.

Choosing album art for album with multiple art

I tried looking around for an answer to this to no avail... Let's say I have a single album that contains songs with different artwork. How do I pick which album art I want displayed in Cover Flow/Album Grid? I tried everything, including pasting the album art as the secondary art for every song, and then I tried duplicating a song, putting it first in the album, changing the artwork to what I wanted, changing the album name and changing it back to the original name, then deleting the song. This worked until I restarted iTunes.

You can only have one image as the default image for the album. It is normally the first image of the earliest imported track. When a track has more than one artwork the *Selected Item* artwork box sprouts two black triangles which let you view the alternate images. If you play with the order of the artwork in each track you can make successive tracks cycle through the available images in the *Now Playing* window.

How do I get a list of tracks with missing artwork?

On a mac with itunes 9.02. I have about 15,000 tracks and about 5% have missing artwork
The get album artwork on the advanced menu doesn't seem to do anything. I found a site which says that this menu option lists all the missing artwork, but it doesn't do it on mine.
Any help?

This script will survey the selected tracks or the selected Playlist for tracks without any artwork and copy them to a new discrete Playlist. Requires iTunes 7 or better.

Missing ART

I need someones help, I have look all over the internet, I have over 8500 song on my Itunes with a 80 gig ipod so i have enough room. My problem comes with the ART I have art for every single MP3. I'm very meticulous about that, in Itunes you can see every piece of album has ART. When i transfer to the ipod some of the ART display and some doesn't. I have check and uncheck the "Display album artwork on your Ipod" in other to rebuild the databases, does anyone have a clue on how to get all the ART work into the IPOD. I work very hard to find all the ART to have it not displayed.
I have Itunes 8 the latest version

To add artwork to multiple items (e.g. all the songs in an album) highlight your selection (click on the first track in your list, hold down the shift key and click on the last). Right click anywhere in the selection and choose Get Info, when you are asked if you want to edit multiple items say yes. Drag your artwork to the small artwork box down on the right and choose OK. Alternatively you can also highlight all the songs and drag the artwork to the small pane at the bottom of the source list.

I need a simple program to convert flac files to mp3 with album art

Is there a fairly simple program that will convert files and imbed album art by track? All of my music files are flac with album art included in the album folder.

Not sure of any software that will do the conversion and automatically embed album art, but LameDropXPD is a free, super-simple drag and drop conversion tool that will accept flac input: http://www.rarewares.org/mp3-lamedrop.php#lamedrop-current and MP3Tag (also free) has an option to do batch embedding of album art.

Missing Art Cover on Movie App

Hi,
I just post here some informations regarding missing art cover in the iPad application Movie.
As I got some troubles with some missing cover despite showing correctly on iTunes, I just wanted to post the solution I found.
I found that in my case only movies with multiple resolutions were missing (like SD/HD) on my iPad 2 despite both version had the cover.
I just switched the default version to SD instead of HD (right click on the video in iTunes -> version) . iTunes did something at that time because there was some disk access.
Then I synchronised my iPad. Boom, the missing art cover shown up. I switched all missing cover movie to SD then sync. All covers appeared.
Then I just switched back to HD without any issues. It seems that iTunes is creating some cache thumbnail on the hard drive when switching default version that is then transferred to the iPad.
I lost a lot of time on this one so if it can help people with the same troubles, here is the solution.
I opened a bug at Apple so they can fix it too.
Cheers.

i'm sorry - I don't understand how you changed the version of the movie - I can't find where you changed from SD-HD. I updated my wife's ipad - the movies play just fine, but the cover artwork disappeared - help!

Album Art Not Displayed with the Correct Songs.

I seam to be having trouble with The Album Art On my I Pod.
When I view the Songs on I Tunes from the I Pod, Every thing Looks fine, But when I Eject the I Pod and Play my Songs, The Songs show the Album Art for another Artist. Excetra. For Example: I play A song from 3 Doors Down and the
Album art is showing The Album Art for A deferent Album-Artist. This is happing to The Album Art That I have done for my music 100 DPI scanned CD Covers (JPG’s) as well as I Tunes downloaded Art.
Has any body Got this problem and know A solution?
Thanks
Gustav

I have had the same issues. It all started with iTunes 7.0. I have lost all track numbers as well, so now all my songs are in ABC order. It really *****!!
The only way I have been able to fix the artwork issue is to cut the artwork off of the file the re-paste it back on. (I have over 3,000 tracks, very time consuming) This has worked for most of the files but I am still coming across a few tracks that have the incorrect artwork on them.

In iTunes 10, I could type "Sinatra" in the search file, and would get a list of all tracks with "Sinatra" in any field.   In iTunes 11 I get these clever little windows, with nice arrows, but no lists to view.   What am I missing?

Thanks for chipping in.   I discovered something after trying what you suggested.   I have quite a few collections of hits by year from Time Life and Billboard. I've eliminated duplicate tracks that appear in both collections (or other CDs for that matter), but cross-reference the CD where I deleted the track and placed in in the comments section of the CD track I retained.   If I "search" by song name, only the remaining track appears.   But if I want to hear for example Classic Rock 1964, only those tracks remaining would be there when I pull up that CD.   So, I type "Classic Rock 1964," in the search field. First the boxes on the right of the screen open up showing album icons. Showing four tracks by album with a button to view 10 more, then four songs with an option to vies 18 more.   I finally noticed that at the top of the boxes is a blue band that reads, :Show Classic Rock 1964 in Music. When I double click on this blue band, all 24 tracks from the original CD appear in the song list format even though I had deleted two of them because they appeard in a Beach Boys CD.   On those tracks, I had referenced Classic Rock 1964 in the comments field.    So, bottom line, Search will also look in the comments field if you click "filter by all" in the magnifying glass to the left of the search field.   And you can move all tracks that if finds into a song list by double clicking on the blue band.

Compatability Problem with Album Art and iTunes in Vista?

Hi there,
I have album art for all of my music which I have added myself. (I prefer to do so instead of iTunes doing it for me.) However, after purchasing a new computer using Vista, I've encountered a problem.
When I drag and drop my music into iTunes, only about half of the album art shows up. The rest either isn't loaded or isn't identified by iTunes, even though I know it's there.
In fact, you can see the album art icon associated with each file when it's organized in its folder on my C: drive. But again, for some reason, much of it isn't loading when I open the files into iTunes.
I never had this problem using XP. Is it a compatability issue or is there a simple fix I'm unaware of? I'd really appreciate any help!!
Thanks,
Michael

Alright, my apologies, Chris. I don't think I explained myself clearly enough. The files are embedded with the music (these are the same music files that worked just fine in XP.)
The artwork isn't separate from the actual music file. When you click on the actual music file, you see the ICON associated with the file, and it's the artwork. I suppose that's just a new Vista feature.
However, I embedded all of the album covers myself, and again, they worked just fine in iTunes with XP. But for some reason, only about half of the album art is being recognized by iTunes even though it's embedded into the actual tag.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

You can only track the iPad if Find My iPhone was enabled. You can log in to icloud.com with your Apple ID and see if it appears on the map.

"Double Images" with Album Art

I occasionally see "double images" using Apple TV where the previous screen is overlaid with album art...Has anyone else had this issue? A reboot solves it, but only temporarily.
Screenshot is attached. Thanks!

Hi T-Shirt11's Products,
Thanks for the screen shot, very descriptive.
That looks like the first symptom in this article.
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Restoring your Apple TV
This article will help you resolve the following issues:
Unexpected or inconsistent behavior within the Apple TV interface
So I would recommend the restore as mentioned.
Restoring your Apple TV to factory settings
On Apple TV, chooseSettings > General > Reset, and then clickRestore.
Your Apple TV will restore to factory settings and will download and install the latest Apple TV software. This process may take some time. Do not disconnect your Apple TV's power cable during the restore process.
Take care,

New album art feature and the album art screen saver

Hi,
I've been using (and enjoying) the built-in album art screen saver for my locked screen for a long time. A few days after I've updated to iTunes 7, I began to delete old covers of my favorite albums (low resolution, bad color, read: Google image search) and applied the better-looking ITMS covers by selectively using the "get album art" feature.
Since I did that, those favorite albums do not appear in the screen saver rotation anymore.
I'm aware that the downloaded covers aren't saved in-file but in the /Album Artwork folder, so I'm certain that's the problem - the screen saver isn't programmed to look for those.
Now, does a workaround exist for that? Does Apple plan a small update (unlikely) / did anybody write a compatible clone / did anybody found a hack? Unfortunately, it's not in the localizible part of "iTunes Artwork.saver".
Thanks in advance for your help!

Same problem that I am having. I enjoyed the album art screen saver. Since I updated to v7 the screen saver doesnt seem to work correctly. Spent the first day of release getting most of my albums (shockingly more then I thought). Enabled the screen saver, but only got 4 albums to show up, no others. Testing it more, I removed the art for the albums that showed up, which got me to 1 album, removed and then got the error that my iTunes Library had no albums with artwork. Weird.. Removed my library, reloaded, and ALL the artwork is gone. Tried going a few albums at a time manually and it shows in iTunes, the new Album Art Dir updates with new stuff. but nothing for the screen saver. Good idea in principle, kinda bad in excuction is my thoughts right now. Hope for a fix soon.

How do you export 4 discrete mono audio tracks with video from Adobe Premiere Pro 4/Adobe Encoder?

I've posted this question in different terms a few times and have not had an answer. I can't find the answer on the Premiere Pro support site either (which makes me think that a simple solution doesn't exist)
We use adobe premiere pro 4. We capture DVCAM tapes with 4 discrete audio channels. When we export the video using adobe encoder, the result is stereo tracks with the discrete audio channels mixed together which is completly useless to us. When I select Mono for the output settings, two channels of audio are mixed into one audio channel. Also useless.
When capturing the clip, we always use the mono timeline and modify the clips to mono. We can edit the discrete audio channels but when we export the video, the audio is mixed down.
this is the problem. Each of our 4 audio channels contain a different language of dialogue. When exported, these 4 get mixed down to 2 mixed channels blending of course the language.
Can Premiere Pro 4 export discrete mono audio channels? How do you do it?
Does version 6 have the ability to export 4 discrete mono channels?

Hi Steve,
Important info is missing from your post - what format are you wanting to export to, and for what purpose? We need to know how the exported file is intended to be used. Who's going to view it, using what gear? Is it for another editor to work with? End user viewing?
Thanks
