Question Posted Saturday December 29 2007, 10:49 pm
Before you tell me to Google this rest assured I did. I couldn't find any answers that were easy to understand. I have a new Ipod Classic 80 GB. Everything is fine on it except that album art will not show up when I use Cover Flow.
First, could you please tell me why? Secondly in layman's terms could you please tell me how to resolve the issue? I would like it if you knew the "automatic" way of fixing this as I don't want to "manually load" them as that would take me forever. When there's 988 songs on my IPOD that just ain't practical.
I'm using Itunes 7.5 and that's where all my songs are stored in my music library on my MAC.
When I upload songs from a CD to iTunes using another program, such as QuickTime, it shows up as a gray'ed out square with a music note inside of it. However, when I opened the songs from the album in iTunes and added them into my playlist from there, the cover showed up with coverflow.
However, if you bought your songs off the iTunes store, I have no idea, so sorry. It says the title and artist under the CD cover, though, so you should def. be able to flip through everything.

It might take awhile to load since you have 988 songs. I have about 350 songs, and it takes awhile to load all of the covers. Give it some time, and it might just show up on it's own. iPods can be laggy at times. When you're in cover flow, pictures of the musical note might show up for every single square, try scrolling through them as well. [ Sima's advice column | Ask Sima A Question ]
