Album Art - click to make bigger?

On my fifth gen iPod video, I liked being able to play a song, click through the rewind/fast forward view, the rating view, and then the "large" cover art view. (Does that make sense?)
However, with my new iPod classic, when I'm playing a song, I can click through to rewind/fast forward, rating, and shuffle settings, but I never get that large picture of the album art as I used to. Sure, cover flow art and split-screen menu art is nice, but the first isn't that big and the second isn't the full cover.
Does anyone know if there's a way to click through to a larger image of a song's cover art while playing a song? Or is this a feature that is no longer present in iPod classic (either due to a bug or a known change)?

Well, I suppose it was a Marketing decision. Maybe with the whole new "look" with Coverflow, thumbnail artwork, and the new Now Playing artwork, the extra-large artwork option is seen to be unnecessary in Apple's eyes. The extra-large artwork was nice, but ...
The selection for the extra-large artwork has been replaced by the shuffle options, which given a choice between the two I'm glad they chose the access to the shuffle options.

My album art does not make it onto my iPhone 4S when I drag music over from my iMax in iTunes.

I have an iPhone 4S and the latest iMac. I manually manage my content on my iPhone - I don't have anything automatically sync on it. But when I drag music over to my iPhone the album art does not travel with it. I have most of my audio in AIFF format in iTunes - other than stuff I buy digitally. I have found that once the audio is over on my phone, I then have to copy the artwork over not once but TWICE before it will update on the phone and show up. It does work though and that is fine.
My problem now is I purchase digital 'compilations' where each track has a different album cover because they come from different albums. I just dragged over 250+ tracks and I'm not going to go in 1 by 1 and copy the album covers over twice for each track.
My phone used to update properly but in the last few months it stopped doing it properly so I'm wondering if there is something that needs to be reset on it to get it to work properly again.
I have all the files on my iPhone coverted to 128K for size issues and all my files in iTunes are at least 320K or higher so they all get down-converted when they are moved onto the iPhone. I assume the artwork is somehow getting 'lost' in this conversion process.
Thanks,
Rob

Cool - yeah I grabbed that script as well. Going to go through my library and run that one as well. Seems to only be able to handle X amount of tracks at a time so will have to do it step by step. I have about 21000 tracks in my library and it didn't like doing all at one time
Its fine if it compresses the images a bit - not a big deal. Its only on my phone so its fine. I'm probably a bit anal about things but I hate having tracks on my phone with no images - if there are images available.
Thanks again!

Big album art inaccessible itunes 11 windows

when i play a song and click on small album art to view it bigger ,but recently i can get to see it... i can see two itunes windows tabbed in the task bar as before... yet m unable to switch to the album art(big) player
Edit: i Found a way to it, so now its solved....

If you mean cover flow, it's been removed. By selecting "Albums" across the top, this is the new look. The only time that you can change a look is if you have built a playlist, then click the "View" Icon in the top right corner of the playlist. It will give you three options. Cover flow is not one of them.

Album art downloaded by iTunes shows in iPod, not iPod Library in iTunes

I had iTunes add artwork to the songs in iTunes. The art shows up in the "Selected Item" windows when I click on one of the songs in the iTunes Library.
I added those songs to the iPod. When the iPod plays one of those songs, the artwork shows up fine.
When the iPod is connected to the computer and I click on one of the songs in the iPod Library, the art does not display in the "Selected Item" window, even though I know it has album art. This makes it difficult for me to know which albums I need to add artwork for!
If I add artwork manually, the art shows in "Selected Item" whether the song is on the iPod or in the iTunes Library.
Has anyone encountered this? I have "display album art" checked for the iPod.
Thanks!
Christian

Hi,
It's the same with me. It appears that only manually added artwork displays. Songs with downloaded artwork show a blank in iTunes when I play them from the iPod, although on the iPod itself the artwork shows.
This has to do with the fact that downloaded artwork is not embedded in the mp3-files, in contrary to manually added artwork.
What you could try is to embed downloaded artwork yourself (wait for a rainy sunday afternoon though). Use this program to extract downloaded artwork from your iTunes libray: http://sourceforge.net/projects/iaae/

Album art not showing in album list view

the album art is there, has been manually added, but is not always showing in album list view.
none of the albums has been purchased from itunes, all are manual import from physical cds, where the album art has been added manually.
albums seem to either show or not show album art (i.e. it appears to be the same for all albums every time i start itunes. restarting itunes also does not help). re-adding album art does not make any difference.
this started to happen several software updates ago and has continued until the current version.
does anyone know how to force itunes to display album art?
thanks

How to get bigger album art?? And how to change iTunes 10 font??

Hiya!!
I just wanna know is there any chance to get a bigger album art in this window:
[IMG]http://i55.tinypic.com/2wcjsk9.jpg[/IMG]
I know that there was a way to get bigger album art in iTunes 9, but after recent iTunes update there's no way to get a bigger album art in this window!!
And the second question is that how do i change the font in iTunes 10?? In iTunes 9 it was iTunes.ttf and iTunes Bold.ttf, but non of those fonts are not working in iTunes 10.

The easiest way I have found to get acceptable album art is to go to Amazon music and copy and paste their album art into your Itunes info. Most, but not all, come up with very good quality and right size (large) As far as the font I have no idea.
I got the impression that the original poster was meaning that that wanted iTunes to display the album artwork at a larger size in the list view, not that the artwork itself needed to be bigger. The iTunes Store already provided 600x600 pixels artwork (Amazon only provides 500x500 pixels) so I don't think that is the problem.
I am not aware of a way of altering the list view to show the artwork bigger, but one can show the artwork in its own window at full size by turning on the 'show artwork for selected item' in the bottom left of the iTunes window, and then double-clicking on it to open it in its own window. It is also the case the other different views, like coverflow show the artwork at a bigger size than the list view.

How to make album art

i have iweb but how to i make a picture show up when someone clicks on it in itunes

Hello,
I think for me its about as easy as 1-2-30000. What I mean is that I have 30000 mp3 that already have ID3 tag version 2.2 and above that were put on long before WMP11. It is not feasable to re-add all the album art for the 30,000 tracks that I have. When will there be a bug fix to address the issue on the phone itself.
I look on the internet and there seems to be forum after forum on the subject. To my mind this is a bug. The player on the N95 should be able to pick up album art that has been taggged as USER DEFINED (as every other player seems to).
I even tried adding the album art on the phone, then copied it back to the PC to see how the phone had tagged the track. Strangely enough, it appears to be the same as all my other tracks on my PC i.e. ID3 version 2.2 & art work categorised as USER DEFINED.
When will we get a fix?

View Album Art When Playing or When Clicking on a Song

In the past, with previous versions of iTunes, it was possible to simply click on a song and the album art for that song would appear in the lower left corner of the iTunes window. There was an option to have the album art showing either for the song that was currently playing, or for the song that was currently clicked on. I can't seem to find this feature/option anywhere. Is it no longer possible? It would be nice to listen to music, and then click on another, and see that song's album art without having to get info on the song or switch to the coverflow mode.

Yes. I know that. When choosing "View Album Art" then you can view the album art in that little window IF the song is playing. If no song is playing, then nothing shows when you just click once on a song title. In the past, it was possible to just click once on a song title and have the artwork show in that little window.

The control click and external mouse right click no longer works when copying and pasting album art within itunes. Ex. Hit get info for one song to paste to the rest, copying the artwork wont work when it used to.

Ok, like how do I make album art show up on my Nano ??

Like, I don't see the albums showing up when I play my music, Can you tell me steps in order to display album art ? thanx all !

Firstly you need to put the album art in the id3 tag of the song.
Right click a song. choose "get info". Go to the album art section and add your album art. You can add the same album for multiple songs, just sellect more than one song. (ctrl+click or shift+click)

make sure you have the most current version of Media Explorer. (from the website)vision m is actually listed under mp3 players for future ref. i got all my album art from amazon.com.i just used the overall default of 500x500 pixels as the "standard" size to use in transfer.... mainly b/c thats what most album covers where from the site. pics that were smaller then that, i searched google image for the album cover. i used picture it 7.0 to resize image to 500x500 give or take a few pix off either way, keeping resize in proportion to each other. then save the image. *amazing site as well to get album art. again you will need to pic a size for album cover art.http://www.zero.co.nz/music/[color="#000099">?so with the most updated version of media explorer, just bring up the album view and pull over album art on top of blank album cover. it was very time consuming ( have not found way to cut down on time... the more you ahve the longer it takes to load up, ect.. ), that and i had ALOT of albums on there. but i am very very happy with the end result. like i said 500x500 looks great. just just me.

Best way for getting album art into iTunes/iPod?

First of all, when you pull the track listing down from Gracenote when importing CDs, does the album art come with it? I don't see any art. And then if not, what is the best source for getting a low resolution digital file for each CD imported and how do you make sure it will make it to your iPod from iTunes? Is there any easy or streamlined process? Also, do the low resolution files add up for each song and take up hard-drive space? Thanks for any input.

click
on it on drag it to the desktop, then into the album
art box of iTunes.
I believe that copying directly into the iTunes box
will use more space on your HD than going via the
desktop.
It's the other way round.
If you copy it to your Desktop then it takes space there and if you then copy it to iTunes it gets added to the music file making that bigger.
Of course, if you delete it from the Desktop and empty the Trash then you won't have it taking space.
Here's a useful app for working out where all your space is going: Disk Inventory X

Why this new version of iTunes doesn't have Album Art or It didn't show up?

Why this new version of iTunes doesn't have Album Art or It didn't show up?
Also, in my iPod Touch 4th, it erase all album art from my iPod, then i tried to put again a new Album Art, ...download again from the image sites and still ...it didn't show up.? What a waste!
I waste all my time to set all album art on my iPod, then it just gone. kindly pls fix this issue. hate this new version of iTunes, so complicated.
The first thing i saw after i install new version of iTunes, it showed only music files. I don't know where to look for the old version of Sidebar. I keep on trying to look for it where I can see or any sign off button just to show up this stupid SideBar. Also, why i couldn't find? The "Menu Bar" is also hide!
Until i found out in "View" tab. Then i saw the Show Sidebar. Question? why do you need to hide that Side Bar? For what?. it is so so so complicated specially to those people who can't relate for this. (Also the button (from previous iTunes) to show the Album Art, now it's gone. I check every Tab, but there's no way to see the Album Art.)
Another comment. I download also some of my songs to my iPod, I wasted my time to collect all of my favorite music files. Also some are came from CD's and friends. I had all that favorite music in my iPod. Then the version iOS 5.+ came then I updated my iPod, another options to save files (iCloud) but I think there are something that I MISS about updating my iPod. Then suddenly I checked my iPod... all music (with Album Arts) are gone. All Apps are Gone. Videos as well.
If you don't know how to use that iCloud (with only 5GB storage), you'll gonna miss/lost everything.
Then I start all over again, i still have my BACK UP, good to have that. Now it's all set until I update the latest iOS 6. And another version of iTunes.
Then I realized my computer getting slow. I uninstalled it. My laptop started to work fast again. Then I download again the iTunes. So now I know, it has the ability to slow my computer. Everytime I turn on my iTunes, it hang. (Not Responding). Solution... CTRL+ALT+DELETE. Then every second time to open the iTunes, and it works. (it means, to open iTunes, need twice)
Then suddenly my laptop is not working. All my files has been corrupted. My Hard drive doesn't work properly. Now I don't have any stupid BACK UPs. My music files usage is 18 GB, only contacts, documents, notes, or some other files that can only fit to your "iCloud" not my 18GB music files and other photos. Your solution is to BUY more storage. Another COST! Another wasting time to set everything then need to pay more?
If you let your unit (iPod,iPhone,iPad) to export music to PC, or any mini SDcard to use as storage, it won't happen.
There is another....
It has Bluetooth, right?
Use less! Doesn't work. There's no way to use it.
All I need is to install an application to use your bluetooth. (for same unit or Apple unit only). And pictures only can send via Bluetooth if you an application.
Even if you go to "Photos" check if there's a way to send pictures? there is no way to send via Bluetooth, even Photos, Songs.etc. It can't even share some other friends (even they have own iPad, iPod, iPhone or same products) who has a unit with Bluetooth.
And the last.. only one port. there's no way to watch videos through HDMI. No HDMI port, no SD or any card slot. Must to buy their products.
Very costly!
I know (like iPod) it's very friendly to use it, but you must spend more money first before it can use.

Yes, the old album art view is gone, bu you can see the album art for a song that's playing by clicking on the art image and it will open a bigger view.
Everything else in your post is a waste. I'm not going to spend time reading it. If - and I repeat if, you have a question on how to get the best out of the new look iTunes, post it. But don't spend your time in long rambling negative rants.

I Can't See any album art on my ipod Please help

For some rerason all of my album artwork won't show up on my ipod anymore. The only way to make it show up is to put the album art on in the library before putting it on my ipod but I have over 1700 songs and it is not worth deleting them to do that. I tried clicking the box to show album art so that it won't show covers and then reapplying it but that won't work. I used to be able to put album art even on files that were already on my ipod. Is that still possible?

there is a work around. i had the same problem

Windows 7 Music Library doesn't show some of my album art all of a sudden. No solutions found!!

So my music files in my music folder on the computer still doesn't show the album art. some of the art covers still exist on the music files but newly downloaded and some music files that existed don't show the album art anymore.
I've tried most of the solutions online but none of them solved the problem. I don't think it's the media player because when I play it on the media player it shows the album art for the music. And I also cleared the cashe in the mediaplayer folder. There
must be something with the system because the folder showed the cover art before but all of a sudden it stopped displaying them.
I don't know what's wrong with it...is there something that makes the music album art not show all of a sudden and the album art doesn't show for the newly downloaded music as well...

Hi haydnan
It may be a problem of Windows 7 Explorer. First you can try all the different explorer views, title, Large icon..
If there is no effect, you can try to the following methods.
In Windows Explorer
1. left click on the mail folder where your music is stored and select it.
2. Now right click and go to “properties”.
3. Now click “advanced”.
4. Put a check in the “Allow files in this folder to have contents indexed in addition to file properties”.
5.Click ”OK”.
6.Click”Apply”.
7. Click “OK” to apply changes to this folder. Sub folders and files.
Now go to your music library and see if it works.
