With the widespread display of audio mode "jacket", better known as the CoverFlow in iTunes, it is a recurring back to see an error message telling us that the cover of the album is selected not available. This is especially true if the album is looking old, French, etc.. Writ of many cases where a jacket type will replace the original. Here is a trick that allows you to add manually.

Search cover

When information services integrated into most software library management multimedia are down information, the best way is to add manually by searching on the Web.

As far as jackets, any image can do the trick. Thus, see the catalogue of Amazon - where jackets are good, then right-click Copy the image in Mozilla Firefox or Copy in Internet Explorer.

Then, apply the method corresponds to the software use.

Update No. 1: You can also use Google Images and then register the name of the album + ost in the search box. Then, compare results based on the quality of images and their resolutions.

Case No. 1: Windows Media Player

The image is kept stored in the clipboard, open Windows Media Player, switch-mode display Mosaics - if not already done so, then right-click Paste the cover album on the corresponding album .

Case No. 2: iTunes

Select all the tracks of the album concerned with the Shift key - click on the first track, press the Shift key and click on the last track while holding down the Shift.

Right-click Get Info. There, in the area Illustration, the jacket copy via a right click.

Confirm by clicking on OK and then wait a few moments.

Update No. 2: If you have adopted iTunes 8, display elements in the form of grids - a new iTunes 8, then click albums in the top navigation bar. Here, find your album, right-click Get Info. In this way, no need to select all the tracks to make changes.

Repeat for each of your albums for which covers remain unaccounted for - or are of poor quality, then admire the final result!

    @ Element: jackets that no longer appears the second time, this is normal. By cons, when you copies jacket, we must not forget to select all the tracks as indicated, unless you do not pass by the mode of grid iTunes 8.

    Otherwise, the image is a copy she correctly the first time?

    Although I am board to invest in ipod…

    The audio quality of the iPod Touch G2 has it improved?

    @ Element: problem solved in part therefore…. no idea when the quality of the last iPod Touch, but the AAC format as 256 Kbps to variable flow generates a very good sound quality, but this is a format with loss, it's true.
