IPOD: Album artwork corruption fix
If you use an IPod, I am sure you have come across the following error, if you haven’t, you will.
If you keep syncing the album artwork as well, you may notice that the artwork displayed for the current song is incorrect. This happens when the artwork cache on the IPod gets corrupted. The only way I have managed to find that fixes this, is annoying but it works.
-
Connect your IPod to the pc/mac you use to sync it with.
-
once it shows up in ITunes, you must find the textbox "Sync album art" and uncheck it (I can’t remember exactly where it is). When you click apply, it should resync your IPod and you will have no album art.
-
Once the sync is complete (it took about a minute for my 30 gig library), go back and recheck this check box, and click apply. this will resync your art work again and it should all be correct.
-
Some people claim that if you just restart the IPod (Menu + center button), it will fix the artwork, this is not so.
The general concensus is that this happens if you update more than one album’s artwork, this is rather annoying cause I normally add more than one album at a time to my IPod, and I do not want to have to keep, resetting my artwork cache on the IPod every time I add new music.
If anyone has a better solution to the problem, post a comment here.
