Losing artwork from iPod
So basically I'm an idiot. I use Sharepod to copy files off my iPod but an update on iTunes meant Sharepod couldn't access files on the iPod any longer - except if you deleted the Artwork DB file off your iPod each time you connected which then worked fine.
Unfortunately, in a mad rush I accidentally deleted the entire Artwork folder from my iPod, losing about 2.3GB worth! Now none of my tracks have any artwork to go with them - even though they still appear when I browse tracks on my iPod through iTunes. What I want to know is - is there any way of restoring the artwork? |

In itunes, press ctrl+a (to select all) and then right click in a white space and click on "download album artwork", you need a itunes account for this. And it'll get the album art for them all. This is all done in grid view.
I don't know sharepod, but if it lets you create a new, empty artwork folder on the iPod, do just that, and perhaps iTunes will see the empty folder and try to sync it. |

I've just found a way to fix it - by selecting each track in my library it syncs the artwork with it to my iPod.
It's going to take a while though, I have about 9800 tracks! |
