No album art on iPod after formware update 1.2.3 > 1.3

Bulsara · 28th March 2008, 10:01

I have recently updated the firmware of my iPod with video 30Gb from version 1.2.3 to 1.3. Before, Winamp 5.53 with the standard ml_pmp/pmp_ipod plugins worked flawlessly, but since the firmware update no album art (embedded in ID-tag) is transferred to the iPod anymore. Ml_iPod doesn't have that problem. Am I the only one who is experiencing this problem?

vassie · 1st April 2008, 21:04

I too am having the same problem with my 80gb video iPod, ml_ipod is fine, but's I'd rather use the official plugin

Sorry to bump, but is anyone else having this problem?

vassie · 29th April 2008, 20:39

Is no one else having this problem? 1.2.3 was fine, however after upgrading my iPod to 1.3 via iTunes, my iPod no longer shows album art when transferring my music via ml_ipod or pmp_ipod

I'm having the same issue with a 5G 60GB iPod video and WinAmp 5.531.

Worked well until I upgraded the firmware on the iPod, now no album art. I've tried using iTunes to reset album art sync as suggested in other threads on this topic, but to no avail.

I assume Apple changed something that pmp_ipod hasn't adapted to yet.

I'm having this same friggin problem and started a new thread like an idiot cuz I didn't research first. Man, I wish I could go back to the OLD version of winamp where I DIDNT have this problem.... everything was so fine then....

vassie · 10th July 2008, 11:57

I have yet to install 5.54, does anyone know if album art now show's on iPod's with the 1.3 firmware?
Would be handy to know before I uninstall foobar
Thanks

vassie · 11th July 2008, 08:41

Anyone?

vassie · 12th July 2008, 08:43

Just installed 5.54, still no album art on my 80gb iPod Video with the 1.3 firmware, thanks alot!

vassie · 18th July 2008, 07:52

Anyone??

vassie · 21st July 2008, 10:38

Had a play around with my iPod at the weekend, so far, iTunes, foobar (with foo_dop) & Winamp 5.54 with ml_ipod, all work fine, however, when I transfer an (MP3) album, with embedded artwork to my iPod with pmp_ipod, if I play the album back in Winamp and iTunes, the embedded artwork has been removed from the MP3's, what is causing this?
A reply would be most appreciated
Thanks

mollman · 25th July 2008, 18:19

I was able to resolve this on my 5G by downgrading the firmware using iPodWizard.

I don't think it's winamp or ml_ipod that's causing the issue, but something in iPod firmware 13.1.3. Or at least what winamp writes to the iPod works with older firmware.

This is what I did (alternative 2): http://ipodwizard.net/wiki/index.php/Removing_Changes

I downgraded to 13.1.2.3 (which was still on my system in C:\Documents and Settings\{user name}\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates) and my iPod displays album art again. Hooray. Note that I didn't change anything in winamp or resync the iPod. Apparently the album art was on it all along (winamp always displayed it from the iPod in the media library).

You can get iPodWizard here: http://www.getipodwizard.com/

No warranties expressed or implied. YMMV. etc.

vassie · 25th July 2008, 19:11

Thank you mollman, my iPod was working with the older firmware, and I was looking for a way to downgrade.

Thank you

vassie · 26th July 2008, 08:32

Just rolled back to 1.2.3 and I can now see my album art, can someone please look into album art and the 1.3 firmware? Thanks

iulietare · 26th July 2008, 18:24

yep..great!

snkupo · 26th July 2008, 23:20

Yup, someone please look into this. With the latest firmware, iPod video does NOT display album art when using Winamp to transfer files. I tried the foobar plugin foo_dop, and that one has no problem with album art on the latest firmware. Just saying -- it's kind of a hassle to switch to foobar whenever I have new files I want to put on the iPod

vassie · 18th February 2009, 09:30

Sorry to bump, but do we have any news on this issue?

Thought I'd give Winamp another try, and I can see that this issue still persists.

vassie · 19th February 2009, 07:35

I was playing around with Winamp and iPod again last night.

My MP3's all have embedded album art, Winamp can see, and display them fine, if I transfer an album to my iPod and play it back from the iPod, the album art still shows, however, the album art is not displayed on the iPod itself.

Also, ml_ipod works fine, as does foo_dop for foobar.

As with Bulsara, when my iPod had the 1.2.3 firmware on it, it was fine, as soon as I put 1.3 on, album art would not show.

fongy · 19th February 2009, 21:01

ipod wizard doesn't support ipod classics - ARGH!!!

damn apple!
damn them to hell!

vassie · 19th February 2009, 21:21

Shouldn't need to downgrade your firmware, there is no reason why pmp_ipod should not work, just need Winamp to pull their finger out and fix it!!

vassie · 20th February 2009, 11:55

Still no update?

Just wondered if anyone has tried adding m4a's with embedded album art? Will try myself when at home if not

soistheman · 20th February 2009, 15:31

I am not sure if problem I had is actually the same problem u guys are having. I embed album art within music files and when I had problem with my iTouch 2G. I found out that in order to display album art, art type has to be "front cover". I use software called mp3tag (http://www.mp3tag.de) to save images, but maybe winamp is having the same problem. maybe winamp is not saving image as "front cover"

vassie · 20th February 2009, 15:49

All my mp3's are tagged using mp3tag, I'm pretty sure the default cover type is "front", will have a play over the weekend.

I am very surprised Winamp have not looked into this issue, or maybe just give up with their broken plugin and ship ml_ipod as the default

vassie · 20th February 2009, 20:17

Have just added some m4a's to my iPod with embedded album art, and guess what! Does not show on my iPod, I even used Winamp to embed the album art!

WINAMP, ARE YOU LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE?????

vassie · 21st February 2009, 17:33

Is there anyone else who has an 80gb video iPod with 1.3 firmware that is having this issue?

mercitron · 23rd February 2009, 15:00

I am having a similar problem. I'm anxiously waiting for an update.

Good luck waiting, look when this thread was created!!

In the meantime, I cannot recommend SharePod enough

http://www.getsharepod.com

or failing that, foobar2000 and foo_dop

vassie · 25th February 2009, 08:24

If there is anyone else with this issue, simply uninstall Winamp and install foobar2000 and foo_dop, finally, album art on my iPod!
