Itunes Didn'T Save Album Art From An External Drive

iTunes is a digital media player developed by Apple Inc. that allows you to organize and play digital media on your computer. When playing music, iTunes normally displays the album art for the current music file. At times, if you transfer music files to iTunes from an external drive, the album art won't transfer with the rest of the music file. If the album art didn't transfer properly, you can add new album artwork directly from iTunes.


Instructions


1. Download the album artwork that is missing from your transferred iTunes files. There are several websites that offer free album artwork downloads. Download the album artwork directly to your computer's desktop.


2. Open iTunes on your computer.








3. Select the music file that is missing album artwork.


4. Right-click on the music file and select the "Get Info" option. A dialog box will open displaying information about the music file.








5. Drag the downloaded album artwork file from your computer's desktop to the white box located at the top of the dialog box.


6. Click "OK" to save your settings. The album artwork will now display when the music file is played. Repeat for all music that is missing its album artwork.
