Re: downloads music, but doesnt show albums or artists
Some players require files to be placed in appropriate directories. For
example audio files should placed in the folder called "audio" and
video files in a folder called "video" and so on.
Some mp3 players use a method called "syncing" to transfer songs to mp3 players. Syncing can be done only using the software that comes bundled with the player. Perhaps you should install the software and try using it to copy the songs again? you can download the software from visualland.com

Songbird is unauthorized free music download website. Because they arent part of a large music selling company, they are more likely not to have the correct formats set for mp3 players or other music devices. You have to have the right formats to get organization for the songs to match with correct artist and album. Example: If there is a song that has format WMV and the song's album is format WAV,then its gonna confuse your music device, so the music device will put the WMV format song with the wrong WMV format album in its alphabetical order instead of the songs matching album WMV format. So restore your mp3 player and try to use a legalized music download website.

There are 3 possible ways in getting the album art for your music album.
Album art may be obtained from the online Music CD database that Windows Media Player uses.
Note: Not all music albums have album art available in the online CD database.
From the online music store where you purchased your songs or albums, the album art may be downloaded along with your purchase.
You may also create your own album art by transferring your
favorite jpg photo into the selected album folder and rename it to Album
Art.jpg.
To download album art from the online database and transfer to the player.
Make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet.
Launch Windows Media Player.
Go to Tools> Options> Player.
Make sure the "Enable picture support for devices" check box is selected.
Click the Apply, then the OK buttons.
Select the "RIP" tab on the task menu bar.
Insert your music CD into the CD drive of your computer. The Windows
Media Player will take a few seconds to show the content of the CD on
the display.
Click "Find Album Info".
The Player accesses the database hosted by WindowsMedia.com and
displays information about the album in the Album Information pane. The
album art will be shown if available.(Note: For some music CD, album art may not be found in any of the online database.)
Click Finish to update all the information about your album and show it in the Rip pane.
Connect your Device to the computer.
Select the tracks that you would like to rip by clicking in the check b
ox next to the track.
Click the Rip music button to start ripping the music CD.
Once the tracks are finished being ripped to the library, go to
the Media library and select the songs that you have just ripped.
Add them to the sync list and transfer them into your Device. The album art will be transferred along with those selected songs.
Disconnect the Device from your computer.
Make sure that the option in your Device has been selected to display the album art on the device, at Settings-> Album art.
To create your own album art and transfer it to the Device
In Windows Media Player , right click on the song you want to update the album art of.
Select "Advanced Tag Editor" option.
In the screen that pops up , select the "Pictures" tab.
Use the drop down list to make sure that the type of picture you add is the Cover (front).
Click on "Add" to associate a picture as the Album art for the song and all the songs in that album.
Add this (and other songs from the same album) to the sync list
and transfer them into your Device. The album art will be transferred
along with those selected songs.
Disconnect the Device from your computer.
Make sure that the option in your Device has been selected to display the album art on the device, at Settings-> Album art.
You can also click on this link to show the graphical steps on how to upload/add album art on your songs.
Hope this information helps. If it does, please do not forget to give me a rating and a comment.
Click on "Advanced" which is found at the top of the screen. Select "Get Album Artwork" from the drop down menu. It will ask you "Are you sure you want to get album artwork?" Hit "Get Album Artwork". Before you do that, you can select "Don't ask me again" if you don't want this to pop up in the future.
Wait until it is done searching for the artwork. A window will pop up saying that it either found all artwork or they didn't. If they did, then great, your done, plug in your iPod and start jamming. But if they didn't, you can still jam away, but check the song title, album name, artist, and genre to see if you got it typed in correctly. Type in what they are supposed to be and try again.
If they still can't find it, then you can add them manually. Look at the link below to find out how to do it manually.
OR
If Itunes wont find the art work:
Find the artwork for the album on the internet. Try using Wikipedia. Click on the artwork to get a larger image. If you can't find it there, I'm sure you can find it using Google images. Anyway, once you find it drag it to your desktop. Make sure it is on there before you continue.
Next, you need to highlight the songs that are in the album you are getting artwork for. To highlight multiple songs, click on the first song and then while holding the shift key click on the last song. To highlight multiple songs that aren't grouped together, click on all the songs while holding the command key on a Mac and ctrl key on a PC.
Now go to "File" then "Get Info". A window will pop up asking you if you want to edit multiple items. Click "Yes". Another window will pop up labeled "Multiple Item Information". You will notice a box on the right hand side of the window that says "Artwork". Click and drag the artwork that is on your desktop into that box. It should appear there. When it does, select "Ok".
When it is done processing, plug your iPod into the computer, sync it, and take your iPod out to start listening to your improved music.
Before you select to rip the songs, edit them by renaming them - song - artist - album etc... then rip the music. Right click and select edit, then rename, press the tab key to go to the next selection artist etc.. and rename. You can also rip the music then go online to let media player find the details, but they do not always find the right details for the correct albums, so I always rename my albums myself
If you use a fileshare program to download music, sometimes some of the song information is changed and/or deleted. The album information is probably still with the song, but the artist info isn't. It's really stupid but the only thing you can do is just find the song through albums instead of artist.
