Why can't one add artwork to music saved as a wave file

i can add scanned artwork to an entry in itunes only if it is saved as an AAC or MP3 file but when i try and save scanned artwork to a wave file, it doesn't afford me that choice.....any reason that would be?

It's the way WAV file formats were designed years ago by Microsoft. It's not just itunes that can't add artwork to the actual file; no jukebox player software can add artwork tags to WAV files.
If you want artwork to display in itunes for WAV files, you can get the artwork from the itunes store if
1) you have an itunes store account
2) that album is sold is your country's itunes store
itunes will store the artwork in some special folders outside of the WAV files, and use the itunes database file (ITL file extension) to find them as needed.
For albums not in the itunes store, you have to do something like this

  • Why can't I add artwork for wav files

    I have a few music in my iTunes that are in WAV audio format, in the get info I am not able to add missing artwork like I can do all the others audio format and yes I have tried the get album artwork from iTunes but it says could not be found.  What is this?

    Perhaps if you asked in the iTunes for Windows forum rather than here in the iPad in the Enterprise forum, someone might have suggestions.
    Regards.

  • Why can't I add TV shows to ipod without wiping every thing else out?

    I'm a newby so forgive me. But I've already lost all the apps I purchased for my ipod because I wanted to update my music library (transferring from macbook pro itunes to my ipod touch). It said to do so would wipe out all my apps. I said yes thinking I could go back and add the apps later—because I still "see" them in itunes. But when I tried to select and transfer the apps they're all grayed out! I can't find a way to select and reinstall them. Same with tv shows purchased on itunes: I want to put them on my ipod but it says to do so will wipe out my entire music library. At least it gives me an option to select those unlike the apps. How frustrating! It seems I can't add one thing without entirely wiping out another.

    Yes. Same computer. Yes. The computer is authorized. I am able to move my music to the iPod so assume it's signed in to the account. The iPod actually came with the Computer. It has never been synced to other computer. Am I just doing something wrong? Why can't it update my music library without copying over my apps? Why can't it add the tv shows i bought without erasing all my music in the process. And finally, I see ghosts of the apps I used to have installed on my iPod in iTunes but iTunes won't let me selected them to move them back to the iPod.

  • Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?

        Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?
    I have not found any article that has answered this question. They have come up with things like open the side bar and it will work, or you are using wrong format of music. Now this all happened when I upgraded to iTunes 10 and has not worked since and it worked fine before. Music format is correct, I have even gone as far as copying a file already in iTunes and trying to add it again. As soon as the files enters the frame of iTunes the music files icon the pointer is carrying turns into a circle with a slash through it.
    ITunes Ver. is 11.1.5.5  Windows Ver. is Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center
    Files I have tried adding are standard MP3, 256 kbps purchased AAC Audio file, MP3 converted by iTunes into a 256 or 320 kbps AAC Audio file. None can be draged and droped but all can added by going to File/Add File to Library...  or File/Add Folder to Library...
    Add items from your computer to your iTunes library
    Do either of the following:
    1. Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
    2. In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
         I can add files and folders by doing number 2 above but can not doing number 1
    I have gone as far as uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling per apple procedures below.
    Steps
    1. Remove iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.

    I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
    To resolve it from within Itunes I did :  Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
    I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"
    Click OK.
    Closed iTunes/
    Reopened iTunes and I can drag and drop.
    I went back into Edit, Preferences, Sharing and put the tick back and clicked OK.
    Works fine now.

    Hi,
    You cannot manually manage music with match turned on on your iOS device. If you want to manage music manually, you will need to turn off match on your iPhone.

    For a transition to work, you need handles... basically, enough footage to overlap each other so that the transition can grab from both sides... your clip is merely 7 frames, way too short to be able to add a transition...
    I've used the "joining two pieces of fabric" analogy before, but I think it was too girly.. Perhaps another way to think about it, is to think of a "dovetail joint" used in wood working... the two pieces of wood need to grab onto each other in order to hold together...
    Anyhow, doing a quick search to perhaps better explain, I found this:

  • Why can't I add text in the signature panel in firefox?

    why can't I add text in the signature panel in firefox?  I have adobe acrobat pro XI.  I can open a pdf in acrobat pro and am able to add text to a pdf, but when I open a pdf in firefox, the "add text" option is not available.

    When you install Acrobat XI you are also installing Reader for use in the browser. Reader is "sandboxed", or as it says in the Preferences, it is in "Protected Mode". Acrobat does not understand the concept of running in sandboxed memory (sandbox is a security feature to prevent the bad guy from exploiting a memory error and getting into a memory address where they can do damage to your computer) so to help protect Acrobat users the same way Reader users are protected we just install Reader along with Acrobat, but it is only used in the browser (part of this is because the bad guys use web sites as their primary method of distributing corrupted PDF files that can cause problems).
    That said, because you are in Reader the file needs to be Reader Enabled prior to being posted to the web site (or opened in the browser). Once the file is Reader Enabled you should be able to add the text annotations.

  • Why can't I add HD videos to my iPod touch?

    So I recently bought an iPod touch, and I haven't had trouble with it until now. I downloaded a free TV show extra thing and it's in HD & SD, and it downloaded fine and everything. But when I tried to add it to my iPod, a popup comes up with the message: "Blah blah blah" was not copied to the iPod "Michaela's iPod" because it cannot be played on this iPod.
    Why? I tried to do the "Advanced Settings" and convert it, but the convert option is grayed out and I can't choose it. I thought the iPod touch could play HD (and I do have another HD video on it currently), so why can't I add this new HD/SD video to my iPod? And I know there's enough space because I have 24.6 GB free space.

    It's the screen format see below.
    The iPad and iPhone 4 can play High Definition (HD) content and Standard Definition (SD) content. iPods and the original iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPhone 3GS can play Standard Definition (SD) content. To find what video formats are supported, see the Tech Specs page, click your device's product family, and then your specific model. All HD purchases from the iTunes Store also include an iPod/iPhone-compatible Standard Definition version to accompany the HD version. When syncing an HD purchase from the iTunes Store, iTunes will automatically sync the SD video for devices that require SD content.

  • Why can't I add narration now ?

    I have added narration in the past on previous versions of Premiere elements and on Pre 10 but in the last 2 weeks I get an error when I click on the red record button I get a error message that my audio hardware selection does not have any input channels and I should go to Preferences, Audio Hardware to correct this.
    I go to Preferences Audio hardware and and it shows Premiere elements WDM Sound and next box has ASIO setting. I click on these and I see no other possibilities or choices.
    I still have Pre 8  loaded and the narration will not work now on it with the same error.
    What could cause this after narration has always worked in the past?

    Bill I believe I have answered your questions If not get
    back to me and I will try. I am a Snowbird in a motorhome traveling in AZ. And
    the internet comes and goes from time to time. And being a senior my computer
    skills leave me at a disadvantage. I really appreciate you trying to help me.

    Welcome to the forum. What is the make/model of your mic.? What is the connection type? What is the make/model of your sound card/chip? Do you have the latest driver for that sound card/chip installed? In a program, like Windows Recorder, does the mic. work fine? In Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager, does your mic. show up with no errors, or warnings? What is the ASIO setting now? Good luck, and please let us know a bit more. Hunt

    Why can't I add bookmarks to Firefox 3.6.6? Nothing happens when I click "Bookmark This Page".

    Just for the record, I was having this problem with older versons of Firefox also. It just happened recently and, with the help of this forum (thanks cor-el) suggesting to open Firefox in safe mode and checking add ons, I found the problem. It was the recent update of Mcafee Site Advisor. If you have Mcafee Site Advisor as an add on, disable it and see if that helps. It worked for me.
    To disable this add on,
    Go to:
    Tools/Add ons/Extensions and click: "disable" for this add on and restart Firefox. Hope it works for you too.
    P.S. To uninstall Site Advisor altogether, you must do that through Windows Add/Remove Programs.
