Your iTunes will never be complete without any songs in it. Your songs may be downloaded from an online music store or ripped from CD’s. You may notice that the songs you download from online music stores usually come with the cover art for the album of that song. So, what do you do about the other songs that come with an ugly gray music note? One solution to this problem is using an iTunes album artwork finder. An iTunes album art finder can easily locate the unique album art for every song in your iTunes library.However, you may bear in mind that there is a built-in iTunes album artwork finder already on iTunes. You can use this tool by opening the album art viewer. This can be done by clicking the “Show Artwork” button found at the bottom-left corner of the window. With this kind of view, it is easy to determine which songs have no cover artwork yet. Once you play a song, the cover art should be displayed.Then to get the artwork for the songs that do not have their respective covers for, this can easily be done by going to the “Advanced” menu, and then simply selecting “Get Album Artwork”. While the download is in progress, you cannot play music in your iTunes or anything else simultaneously.The status of the download should be displayed at the top part of the screen. The iTunes library is then scanned to determine which songs still need the correct album art. You will be notified when the download is done.By playing your songs on iTunes you can see if the new cover flow art are shown. If the download has been successful retrieving the necessary covers for the songs that have no album artworks, now the new covers should appear.However, it is likely that there will be a few songs that still have missing album artwork. There are various problems that may have caused this. For one, the album details of a song may not have the correct spelling. If this is the case, you need to look into your playlist once more, but this time you should check the spelling of the album’s artist, the song’s artist, the album title, the song title, or other details from the song that may have been misspelled.This goes to show that there are still loopholes on the built-in iTunes album artwork finder. It may sound inconvenient having to locate the album covers for all of your songs, but you will only end up doing one thing after another just so that you can fill the gaps on your iTunes.It is best to go for a simple album art finder in order for you to be free of any hassle that may be brought about by the built-in album artwork finder of iTunes. TuneUp is the digital music management and music discovery tool for iTunes that can really help you fix this problem.

An Introduction To Art Prints
Increasingly sophisticated photographic printing techniques have resulted in the development of fine art photography. Fine art prints are considered collectibles and much sought after the world over. Art prints have in fact revolutionized the art world, with photographers able to create masterpieces that can be considered art, and valued accordingly. Art prints have also brought the works of masters into the reach of buyers with modest budgets.Unlike traditional photographic prints that are reproduced on photosensitive paper, art prints are inkjet prints on non-photosensitive papers. The process is called giclée printing (in French the verb “gicler” means “to spray or squirt”) and involves the spraying of inks or pigments onto paper. Since no mechanical devices are used, a giclée print shows up a continuous tone image, much like the original painting in color and shadow. Giclée prints can be made on paper of different textures, and when mounted, look amazingly like paintings.Multiple prints or reproductions of an original masterpiece make it more accessible to a larger number of people. The number of impressions of a particular work is called an edition. An artist or photographer can choose to make limited editions of his work, and each one can be considered an original. An artist can also choose to make unlimited editions, which may be numbered or unnumbered. While limited editions are usually more valuable, unlimited editions of certain artists can be equally expensive. The value of an art print ultimately depends on the artist who created the original work.Digital photography allows photographers to tweak and manipulate their work, playing with the final result till they are satisfied. Most choose to make prints of a few photographs till they figure out if they will sell. A photographer can also alter a popular image over time, making changes in color or lighting, so that every print looks a little different.Art prints have opened up a whole new world of possibilities for art lovers, who now have almost unlimited options to choose from.
