How to Download Music Onto an iPod From Fixtunes

Do you have blank albums (i.e. black backgrounds with white music notes) on your iPod? This happens when you add CDs to your iTunes library. Have you ever wondered if there was convenient way to add the album cover artwork to your iPod? You can through Fixtunes. Please note that you cannot add music directly from Fixtune--it only corrects the music and adds album covers to the music you already have.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• iTunes
• iPod
• USB cord
• Fixtunes free trial download
• Internet connection
• computer

1. Go to Fixtunes (see Resources) and download on the free trial program. Run the program after you download it. After you run the program, Fixtunes will prompt you to open iTunes.

2. Open iTunes and select a playlist. Fixtunes will instruct you to click on "view" (located at the top of the iTunes screen).This opens another menu. Scroll down to the middle and select "view options." Then check the "comment" box. Then follow the instructions in Fixtunes to find album covers for your music. This might take a few minutes or more depending how much music you have. Be patient and Fixtunes will let you know when it's finished.

3. You need to select "save" after Fixtunes has finished. Just be sure to stay online and do not do anything else while Fixtunes is working.

4. Check to see if the album covers have been added by clicking on "view" (again, the menu at the top of the iTunes screen). Then click on "cover flow" (third option under "view"). As you flip through your albums, you will see which ones have been added.

5. Grab your iPod and plug it into your USB port on your computer and synchronize it . This synchronization will take a little longer than usual this time due to the graphic content, so just wait for it. When you get the go-ahead to disconnect, enjoy flipping through your colorful new album cover artwork.

Tips & Warnings

• Fixtunes also works with iPhone. It is so much easier to find your music when you can see the album art. Fixtunes also updates the music and corrects mistakes such as duplicate songs and misprinted information about the artist.
• Be certain to follow the Fixtunes instructions as it walks you through step by step. Do not get ahead of yourself and open iTunes until you are prompted to do so.
