no album art either...

Post by docbells »

Can't get my album art to show up either. It does occasionaly show up if under properties in album art I change it to Not Specified - but I really don't want to go through every album and change it that way. There is no batch way to do it that I can see.

I spent mucho time embedding album art into all my mp3s and now they show up as a black square on my new 80gig ipod video...

Fix

Post by easye »

I had the same problem, and found a fix that worked for me in another post:
http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 7006#77006

Here are details of the steps I took. It will take me more time to type this out, then it actually took me to fix the problem.

I have iTunes installed but don't use it for syncing of anything to my iPod. Although I initially used it when I first set it up. The steps I used to fix this were:
- connect my iPod to my PC
- open iTunes (I have iTunes 7 installed)
- select your iPod on the left side of the window
- select the Music tab
- uncheck "Display album artwork on you iPod"
- click the Apply button (in my case nothing really happened here)
- check "Display album artwork on you iPod"
- click the Apply button (now iTunes did a bunch of syncing with the iPod, can't remember exactly what it said, but it was something like "formatting artwork for use with iPod".)
- click the Eject iPod button

After this, without doing another sync using MM, all the artwork appeared with my songs. So the artwork was there, it's just that the iPod wasn't "seeing" it.

Hope this works for others.

Yeah I just played with this for my 30 gig iPod video. It appears MM is not formatting the album art correctly (IE: its not sizing it or formatting it properly). I did what you said, and all the album art shows up now.
