Got iTunes 7 and a Gen 5 iPod (not the new one).
Used this new feature "Get Album Art" in iTunes, and after several times it's collected much of the artwork but it isn't transfering the artwork to my iPod.
On the Sync setting i have the check box for transferring artwork selected so anybody any ideas why it isn't working?

i cant even get it to get the artwork for my ipod. does it need to be in your library first to find it?
sucks i cant shuffle through my album covers (the new visual browsing thing) right on my ipod either.

Whoa, how do you shuffle through the album covers on your iPod?
Yes, music needs to be in your library. If you highlight all tracks and right-click "Get Album Art" it looks for it online. I did this a dozen times and it found more artwork each time.

iTunes 7 broke me Shuffle (well, it's choosing to ignore it at present). The get album artwork thing is fab though, where does it source them from? Just the iTunes store?

I've read a lot of stuff about how buggy iTunes 7 is... the album art thing missed albums (hence having to do it more than once) and other stuff too.
Don't be surprised if it behaves badly until an update comes out.

(Sep 18 06, 00:37)in some cases i just googled the art myself and drag and dropped it straight from the browser into the song info window. pretty easy.

The iTunes search works fine, just have to do it a few times.
Presumably, iTunes will be pretty busy right now....might have something to do with it.
Still no explanation as to why it's the album artwork isn't being transferred to my iPod though.... :(

I upgraded to iTunes 7, then upgraged the software on me pod, now it takes ages to transfer over a CD, iTunes keeps crashing and I had a little ipod weirdness where its not turning off when it should be.
The last time I did a software upgrade on me pod it broke the little bugger, haven't upgraded in about 6 months and now I thinks its done it again! No luck with hardware recently...

Guess it's a case of waiting for updates then...

Mine went spazzy a while back and what I had to do was go to the options and untick the 'copy artwork over to the ipod' type option. The do a sync (so it deletes any artwork on the pod), then when it's finished, tick the box again, and do a re-sync.
Give that a rumble...
