For thoswe of you with Album Artwork issues...

In iTunes, on the bottom left corner, make sure you have the album artwork set to "Selected Item". For EACH song, copy & paste the artwork. It resets it to be associated with the file. Viola! Now the artwork will be displayed with each song.

Oh, almost forgot... Use the Media Sync in the Blackberry Desktop. If the album artwork still doesnt show, try one more time. I had to copy & paste 2 times for several files, but in the end it all showed!

Thanks for the tip, but not sure I follow:

I use iTunes 8.0.2 on WinXP. There is no Album Artwork option in the lower righthand corner of the iTunes screen??? What am I missing?

Make sure you have it on "SELECTED ITEM" not "Now Playing"

...you said bottom right corner.

this only seems to work if you add artwork manually. if itunes finds the artwork it doesn't transfer over to the storm.

[mmcnier]

Sorry Viet. I have edited it.

Iron, copy & paste it like I instructed. When you copy it, it will copy the artwork that iTunes found. Then paste it.

You just need to make sure the album art is tagged as part of ID3 tag (which becomes part of the file)

You can find free album art tagger on the web. Personally I use MedialMonkey for all thing music... but that one costs money

iTunes is free and SO much better than Windows Media Player. I suggest heading on over to apple.com

[Kleptomaniac]

It's free but it will cost you your soul...I will never, ever get another Apple product! Media player has worked to transfer the song & album art seamlessly to other PMPs I've had (including Zen, Sansa, Archos & KRZR) All my files are nice and easy DRM-free .mp3s, the artwork is there on my PC (and every other player!)but just doesn't sync with my Storm...Thoughts?

[mmcnier]

Klepto, not really. I am an iTunes fan. BB Desktop Manager even integrates with it. Perhaps try a similar solution with Windows Media?

[exelant]

The newer windows media player will sync with your storm and put your files on your device.

I use Win Media to rip my cd's and it automaticaly downloads the album artwork for every album as well as organize the artists/albums. All you have to do is copy and paste the artist/album folders which will contain al the album art into the music folder on your Blackberry's media card. Simple as that. iTunes is too confusing and i don't like wasting that much time so I don't use it.

Thank You!

This method "definitely works". The bummer is that it takes a long time and is a real pain in the "you know what" to copy and paste each and every single song/album cover back into iTunes; especially when your music library is pushing 12GB and more.
