iTunes not allowing me to change album artwork
Hello,
I am one of those people that are paranoid if their music or contacts do not have photos or album artwork.
I just imported several old CD's which are not on iTunes Store, so naturally there is no Album Artwork. I am well familiar with adding artwork however, specifically by right clicking on album>Get Info> Edit Items> Artwork> Add Artwork or "drag to box". for the first couple CD's, I added the artwork, and upon hitting "Okay" it permanently saved, no issues. However, after 3 CD's, iTunes quit saving the artwork I added. I would go to the Artwork Tab, insert the Artwork image through means of manually "Add Artwork" and dragging it to the big display box or the icon box in the top left of the "Get Info" window. It loaded in the box, and looked fine. Upon hitting "Okay", the window would close, and even though it takes time for the artwork to load sometimes, these did not load. Pulling up the "Get Info" again, there was no artwork. It did not save.
I then went and installed the latest Sierra, and there were no iTunes updates. No Luck.
It IS NOT a file issue. After 8 or 9 attempts, I went under "Get Info" of one of the 3 albums that saved their artwork successfully, and swapped their artwork out for the ones that apparently would not load. Not only did it save with the images that did not work for the other albums, but it even let me change it again to the correct artwork, and saved.
I tried deleting the "faulty" album from the library, and then manually re-added it, filling in the artist, album, and all the track numbers. Despite being a whole new album, it STILL will not Save the album artwork! This is happening for 3 albums IN A ROW, plus one which I just imported, and it will not save the artwork either.
PLEASE HELP
