Artwork in iTunes 7.

piece of apple · Sep 14, 2006

Is there a way to simply PASTE your artwork right into the iTunes album view? If you've used Windows Media Player 11, you'll know what i'm taking about.

Insteal of "Get Artwork", is there a way to "paste" artwork? Cos I found the artwork using, say, Google Images. Shouldn't I be able to paste it right in iTunes? That's how they do it WMP11.

Drag it and drop it into the info window of the song/s you want to add it too. Thats what I do.

thank u

edit: it works. but now i have 2 post artwork for all my cds ... amazon is going 2 get alot of hits. why can't iTunes do this automatically??

Yea its being weird about it for me too. It found the artwork for only a few of my cd's. Like it found Massive Attack, but not LOTR soundtrack. I understand it not finding my more crazy stuff like Klute or Kid Loops, but I would say that LOTR is pretty standard.

If your tags aren't perfect then it can't get the artwork. The music also has to be on the iTMS for it to work

The tags are from the database that itunes pulls from. But I understand if its not in itunes, that makes sense. Oh well. :robot:

Windows Media Player found almoast all of my cd's artwork, so my tag's must be alright. But it's worth it: Coverflow is so **** sexy.

EDIT: It found Aretha Franklin's "Respect", but didn't find the Beatles' "Revolver". R u kidding ME?

Like I said if the music isn't in iTunes music store then it can't find the album artwork. The beatles aren't in the music store = no album art

Windows Media Player accessed a completely different database for its artwork. iTunes uses the music they are licensed for

liquidx.net has a widget that will do that for you

Yea but I have gigs and gigs of music on my computer. It didn't find artwork for ANY of it.

And also, even the pasting is getting bugy. It won't let me RE-Paste. (If i want to paste a replace an artwork with another)

But i guess the feature is worth it.

is there a way to add album artwork to an entire album at once instead of clicking on a song and dragging artwork in?

can I highlight a selection of songs and then drag the artwork?

Stretch · Feb 5, 2007

Select the songs you want to add it to, and get info on that selection, then drag it into the album art box.

go to

findmycover.com

and type your search in a drag the artwork into the box in the bottom left corner of itunes where it should appear. it will now be there when you listen to that song and when you go on cover flow
