i-tunes artwork

Don't know about AC/DC but the Beatles is down to the fact that the artwork is only for CDs sold on itunes (so it will probably not all that helpful with some of my more obscure classical discs). The Beatles have never been on itunes, in part due to the legal dispute about use of the name 'apple'. Now that they've lost that, I would have thought they'd see sense and make the stuff available. But I wouldn't hold your breath.

Doesn't seem to be any logic to what is there and what isn't. The Presidents of the United States of America "pure Frosting" art is there "2" isn't. Obscure local (Northern Ireland) artist CD covers are but some major international ones aren't.

Basically Lennon's old bunny boiler wife is refusing to allow the beatles onto itunes.

Its not a download thing just and Apple thing haha.

If you are using a mac get a copy of iTunes Catalog which will surf the whole interweb for your covers not just the music store.

Well that explains the Beatles, but no AC/DC? You'd imagine they'd get a few downloads from the kids. Perhaps not?

Rokingdoc you sound like an old man. Of course kids do not download ACDC they download System of a Down

Hmm - iTunes/iPod artwork. forget album covers, make yer own!

And buy the t-shirt!

Having downloaded the covers to iTunes, how do I get them onto my iPod? Did not seem to happen when I synched it (even with the updated iPod software).

I do like the new iTunes interface though, especially scrolling through the album 'covers'. Shame so many are missing though.

Do you have kids who download music?
We have our own teenagers, they have lots of friends. As our house has thin walls, I think we may have some idea of what they listen to.
Also, my wife teaches in a large Comprehensive and I run into quite a few yoofs in my line of work. There are more teenage boys sporting AC/DC patches than you would imagine.
Your ageist views are offensive and soon to be illegal, and I demand that the moderators remove you from the forum.

p.s I have a System of a Down CD

I too love looking at the cover artworks, in I-tunes and on my new 80gb pod. AC\DC seem not to have signed up to itunes hence the omission. They are in the minority though, so shouldn't take too long to find a good image of them on the web. btw, ironically the ac\dc amazon images are too small.
Off topic but I'm convinced my new ipod is not sounding as good as my old 2gen 20gb
Maybe it will 'burn in'.
Paul.

The general view is that the current ipods don't sound as good.
There's no Led Zep. I suppose the kids have never heard of them either. They must be too busy downloading the likes of Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvin 'cos all of their covers appear.

Personally I would prefer ACDC, I think heavy metal should only go so far.

As for art work, when importing CDs, I nip to google and find it manually. The art work thing only goes to the apple store and they don't have even a % of the worlds Cds.

All 10,000 tracks on mine sport a Cover, many helped by third party apps, check out versiontracker for apps that get art work for you from other than the music store.

It must have taken you hours to individually search for 10,000 covers, gary!

Read it again Jon!

I have used a number of apps in pursuit of the covers, the best by far is itunes catalog.

This can search all over the place, put them into itunes for you and also individually tag all your folders within the music folder with the art work too, which is handy for access other than from iTunes.

D'oh! [Sorry ]

Hmmm... iTunes catalogue eh? Will have to check it out. Mind you I don't have that many tracks on there at the moment but it's one to bear in mind for the future, I guess.

Nope, for once my spelling is bang on, its American, iTunes catalog!

find it on macupdate.

Well, there's always a first time for everything, gazza!

Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out.

thanks for the info Gayri, I'll ask the moderators to let you stay.
