Have added a few new albums to my itunes library on pc. However no album art appeared. This is generally not a problem as i go to amazon copy the artwork and add it to the album through "get info" from right click. However now i try this and it adds a black screen for artwork not the image i copied. Tried the "get album artwork" but no luck either. Has anyone else had the same trouble or have any advice for me. Seems to have occurred since recent update.
It is a bug in the new iTunes release.
Paste has problems, but either of the following will work.
(1) Drag-n-drop (rather than copy/paste) the artwork into the box.
Or (2) save the artwork as a file. On the artwork tab, use the Add button and point it to the saved file.

I get the black screen as well.. but if I do option 2 in the recommendation it works... i will try option 1 next time..
tks!
thanks for your help much appreciated. did the following and it worked well. saved file as suggested opened 'get info' and dragged file to album art and wellah. hope apple fix the glitch.
Couldn't finagle drag-n-drop, but the second option worked. Thanks a lot for the help!

Kim, I normally use Firefox, and drag-n-drop works fine. However, after seeing your post, I tried both with Chrome and with Internet Explorer, and drag-n-drop did not work with either!
Really? Well, I just figure I was doing it wrong 😉

I had trouble adding artwork to some items, also. All my original items were in aif form, but I just wasn't able to add artwork to some of them, no matter what I did. Drag and drop wouldn't work, copy and paste wouldn't work, and neither would "add" and "choose file". I finally tried dragging each item out of iTunes onto my desktop and converting it to another form (wav, au, even mov), then reconverting it to aif, and dragging it back into iTunes. Once I had the items back in iTunes, I added the artwork and deleted the originals. I have a Mac Book running Snow Leopard and I used my Quick Time 7 Pro for the conversions (select the item, choose file and open with Quick Time 7, then choose file and export). Converting to wav and then back to aif usually worked, but sometimes I had to try several different forms before I found one that worked.
