[RobbieOR]

I have covers of Albums in my documents how do i add them to the albums on my Ipod so they appear when the song is playing? Cheers in Advance!

In itunes right click on the album whose artwork you want to upload

Select "Get info"

Double click on the Artwork box and locate the file on your computer that you have saved the artwork.

Easy work

[RobbieOR]

How do i get it to save though? It just goes away after click ok.

i think you can shove the jpg image into the music file itself then put it on your ipod. job done i think.

Is right.

 

Are you doing it in your library or on the ipod itself?

[RobbieOR]

Is right.

 

Are you doing it in your library or on the ipod itself?

 

In Itunes itself. I'm doing as he said, the little box is clicked than when i click ok nothing changes.

[JangoSolo]

I edit mine with a separate tool, it's more fiddly but I was finding them disappearing all the time.

 

Its a gui that gets added to the right click - if I remember I'll update when I get home

Are you only adding it to the first song on the album? You have to highlight all of the tracks before you right click.

I'm doing it for the album. When i click on music I right click on the album than i add it through "get info". Am i doing it right?

[AL66GOLF]

After you right click on the Album and select Get info you should get the message "Are you sure you want to edit information for multiple items?"

Select "Yes"

A box will open with the header "Edit Multiple item information"

Double click on the Artwork box in the bottom right hand corner and select the Artwork you require wherever you have it stored on your PC.

The selected artwork should now appear in the "Artwork" box

Click OK and you are finished.

You may need to this in both your ipod and also your library on your PC if you want to keep both up to date.

Hope this helps.

You can also right click on the image and "copy image" - then paste into the artwork box. Works for me.

Don't think you're doing it wrong necessarily, just a different way to how I do it. Try my way anyway to see if it makes any difference.

 

Click on the first track. Hold "shift" and then click on the last one. Right click and choose "Get Info". Double click on the "album artwork" box and pick your album artwork.

 

That's what I do. I've got an iPhone and it syncs the artwork perfectly that way.

[Duncan Clench]

I'm wondering if you're not going through the whole process. You can't just tick the artwork box. If you've done it right you should see the artwork in that little square.

 

Right click - Get info

Double-click in the artwork square.

Select the artwork you want from your hard drive and double click

Make sure that the pic you selected shows in the box

Click Ok

 

Also, what file type are you trying to use? Jpeg is the way forward. Perhaps it doesn't lend itself to gifs or photoshop (psd, png).

there is a programme called "fetch"

it "fetches" artwork for you from the net and sticks it where it should be

worth a look

I wondered what that Nickelback inlay cover was doing up my arse.

[RobbieOR]

Bump.

 

I'm in the process of updating it all and most of them are working but some of them just turn black. Any ideas how to fix this? Cheers.

I know how to do it Terry.

 

Its just after a while they go missing on My Ipod.

[Ted]

Why does everyone keep calling me Terry?

 

 

Anyhoo, just do that 'get info' thing and save the artwork in the little box.

[odris]

Terry knows his shit.

Could be worse could be calling you Tezza.

 

Thanks. Is it when you delete the artwork off your computer it goes black?

[Ted]

Possibly. Or when you copy and past it straight into your iPod library and not onto your iTunes library first.

I dont have any music saved to my Itunes library. I move it all to an External after putting it on to my IPod.
