Guess what! It's in iTunes, but it isn't in my iPod. The box for artwork is checked (duh).
What's the deal here? I've even tried saving a picture of the artwork to my computer and adding it manually instead of copying and pasting or dragging and dropping, and nothing's worked. It's in iTunes on each individual song, and it's even on the Album Artwork on the bottom left corner of the iTunes window, and it says it updates the songs that I'm adding artwork to, but there's no such artwork when I have the songs playing.
I have a 5G 30gig Video iPod. It's not even halfway full in terms of used memory.
I even have artwork on some songs that came loaded with it - like my Bob Marley and Simon & Garfunkel songs. I know what it looks like, I know it's possible, but when I add it to other artists, the album art won't sync to my iPod.
Re: iTunes Artwork Not SyncingIs your iPod set to Auto Sync or Manually manage?
Re: iTunes Artwork Not SyncingAuto sync.
However, I've tried deleting the songs I'm trying to add artwork to from iTunes, then syncing it - erasing the songs from my iPod.
Then, I readd the songs to iTunes. I also add the artwork back to the songs.
I resync it, and it's still has the same problem - so I've gone through the same process as manually snycing, as well.
Re: iTunes Artwork Not SyncingAny other ideas? This is really frustrating.. =(
Re: iTunes Artwork Not SyncingHmm I don't know what the problem is. Do you have album art enabled on your iPod?
Re: iTunes Artwork Not SyncingHow do I check? I would assume so, since some of my songs display album artwork in my iPod.
But - assuming I don't. How do I go about enabling album artwork on my iPod?

Re: iTunes Artwork Not SyncingTry the old artwork on/off trick:
- Connect your iPod to iTunes and let it auto-sync
- With your iPod selected in the source column, select the music tab next to the iPod summary
- Below window of playlists, de-select the "show artwork" option
- Re-sync your iPod
- Go back to the music tab and re-select the artwork option
- Re-sync your iPod again
- Your iPod's artwork database will rebuild itself, give it a few minutes
- Eject your iPod and see if the artwork looks normal
Re: iTunes Artwork Not SyncingWhen it goes to the iPod Update screen, there's multiple tabs to click. Music, Movies, etc.
Under the music tab, there's options on what to sync and how to sync. There's also a checkbox for showing album artwork.
It was unchecked. Somehow, I had album artwork showing for some groups (Simon & Garfunkel, like I mentioned before) but it wasn't showing on others (like A.F.I.).
Problem solved =) Thanks for the help everyone!!
