I would like to add an artwork to an album which has files saved in .wav
format. I know that it is not possible to attach an artwork to a wave file, so I'm trying to add a standalone artwork.jpg file to the album in iTunes.
I found out that:
- it is not possible to attach an artwork to a track or an album directly
- placing an
artwork.jpg
file in the album's directory doesn't work. - I learnt from other sources like this that there iTunes saves artworks somewhere in the Album Artwork folder (probably here:
/Users/user/Music/iTunes/Album\ Artwork
).
My questions are:
- Is it possible to add an artwork manually somewhere in that
Album Artwork
folder? - Is there any other hacky way to make iTunes actually load an artwork to an album in
.wav
format?
Note: The album is not available on the iTunes store, so the album hasn't got the official artwork which could be downloaded by iTunes on its own.
Note 2: the traditional way of adding an artwork using Get info
does not work for .wav
files.
Major update:
It turns out that it is possible to add an artwork to any album in iTunes. The format doesn't matter.
There is one more problem however: it is not possible to add an artwork to an album which has only one track.
Is there a way around it?
