Add Artwork to iTunes albums – fixed
So – I have been busy to make all my music on my “main computer” accessible to my other computers on the home-network.
One of the mainreasons; so the different iPods and iTunes can access all those files.
On the maincomputer I am using my iPhone – on one of the laptops an iPod…..!
But then I got problems with the iTunes on the laptop.
First I had to fix the problem “Get info of all files“.
But then; I was not able to drag artwork to the albums.
First I will tell you how to get artwork to the albums WITHOUT using an iTunes account.
In your iTunes library;
- you select an album
- right click; “get info”
- drag a picture of the album to “Artwork”.
You don’t have a picture..??
Go to a website which has the artwork; like amazon.com or (my favourite – in Dutch); musicmeter.nl – search for the album you need.
Then click with your mouse on the artwork of the album; KEEP THE MOUSE PRESSED and drag the picture to you iTunes screen into the artwork part.
So; my problem => it would not keep the artwork in the album….
And why not..??
Because I did access my music VIA THE NETWORK….and did not tell iTunes to really copy the files to the laptop.
How to fix that..??
In iTunes;
- Edit
- Preferences
- tab Advanced
- click the “Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library”
So; from now on – when you add music from your network drive to your iTunes library – iTunes will copy the files to your computer AND this way you will be able to drag Artwork to your library also.
