Album Covers for CD Music?

Does anyone know why the artwork doesn't display on the ipod itself? or how to get it to display on the ipod?

7.0 Killed everything, Album art is messed up and the playback of music is distorted. What should I do?

Same here. iTunes 7 screwed up my tv shows. The ones I bought before iTunes 7 don't work because the colors go neon when I take my arrow off the screen. However, the tv shows I bought with iTunes 7 are fine. Can smeone help me? Please?

yes, press opt or alt & the i key, then go to album cover & basically paste anything you want in there. I also use a little piece of software called Clutter to retrieve ablum art, & there is an option with in that software to apply he cover it found to iTunes.

Does anyone know how to fix this or what's wrong?
Is itunes 7 screwed up?

I'm having a much worse problem with that new "Get Album Artwork" feature. I sent feedback a week ago to Apple about the problem of the new feature sending the wrong cover album art down to my albums. I have over 13,000 songs in my iTunes music library and now almost every album is mismatched with the wrong album artwork. My album, artist and song names are right. My files are in AAC format and are stored in my iTunes Library folder, still almost all of the songs except the ones I purchased directly from the iTunes music store are mismatched with the wrong album covers. With a little over 400 purchased songs from the iTunes Store, over 12,600 songs have the wrong album artwork covers. I need desparate help anyone. Help!

Hello,
Yes, I have over 12,600 mismatched album artwork covers in my library of over 13,000 songs. I'm from the U.S. too and I always have accessed the iTunes U.S. Store version.

Someone mentioned importing cover art directly from Amazon. How exactly are you doing that?

Before Apple decided to put the import artwork functionality into iTunes, I used a third party software from Zelek. But it had the same problems as iTunes namely it didn't always find all the artwork particularly for compilations, greatest hits, soundtracks and classical music. But you can usually always find the artwork you need on Amazon. So being able to import it directly into iTunes would be wonderful. Please enlighten!

On a different subject, anybody noticing much slower import speeds with 7.0/7.0.01? I used to be able to routinely get 15x - 22x import speeds out my 52x DVD reader/writer. I just swapped it out for a Lightscribe DVD writer so I could print cover art for the jewel case and song selections on the disk. Now I'm lucky if I get 2x-4x speeds. Takes forever to import a disk. I'm trying to figure out whether it's 7.0 or the new Lightscribe that is causing the problem. On the Macbook with the Superdrive I'm typically getting between 8x and 15x speeds. Anybody experienced anything similar and can point me in the direction of the answer? Thanks in advance.

why do only some of my albun covers show in my library and the rest show a music symbol. i have clicked on get album covers in the advanced tab and it acts like it is searching for them but nothing happens. both past purchases from i tunes and some of my own i have imported.

I had the same problem. Aperently iTunes 7 is a work in progress. It seems that you need to make a small change to every song that has artwork, like a volume adjustment. Then update your iPod and the cd artwork should then be there. Also, if the cd title in your music list is even slightly different from what iTunes it will not recognize it. I went to iTunes and compared several of my cd titles with theres, made some small changes and they were then downloaded from iTunes.

I think the other messages have it correct: album art can only be downloaded properly if the Album is correctly identified AND the album exists in database (Gracenotes CDBD??). For most popular albums, it works fine. For odd issues, foreign releases, small publishers, etc. you are out of luck.

My work around is to scan the CD cover in with Photoshop, clean up, and paste into "Artwork" pane of "get info" for each song. I haven't figured out how to do it for all songs from entire album at once. "Album Artwork" folder seems virtually empty, so I don't know where the artwork actually lives (appended to music file??).

I've got a similar problem. iTunes seems to have overwritten my existing artwork and now art for any album that has a "1" in the title has been replaced by the Beatles "1" album. This is actually kind of bizarre because iTunes doesn't even sell this CD. I've had to go back through TONS of albums and fix the artwork. I turned this feature off in my preferences because it is seriously more trouble than it's worth. It replaced art for CDs I have imported, standalone songs my brother wrote, songs I downloaded off iTunes... it does not seem to have any preference for where the song came from originally or whether or not it already had art on it. If this feature is to be useful, it needs to have a box to say "do not replace existing artwork."

To paste artwork for all the songs on an entire album/cd highlight all the songs. To do this you click on the first song then move the pointer to the last song, use shift left click. In the highlighted area right click, select get info. It will ask you if you indeed want to make multiple changes. Select yes. Paste the artwork in the spot there and it will add it to all of them. That should do the trick.

I used Coverflow before it was added to Itunes. It was a great program but its implementation into Itunes has crippled this once great program. Let me explain. When using coverflow before once started it would search your library for known album art. Like most of use you would be missing many album covers. A right click on a blank album cover and you had a choice of search engines, pick one and now you have a web page of album art for that album.

Where is this feature in Itunes?

In order to add stray artwork or to fix a bad Itunes chioce, which is many, you have to select the album, go to 'get info' then go to 'artwork' now you can select the artwork from your pictures or downloaded artwork.
Where is the internet search engine options that were in Coverflow? Why can't I just drag and drop images with out going into 'get info' - 'artwork'?
