Album view default

iTunes 11 defaults to album view which I NEVER USE. THIS IS SO STUPID. How can it be changed to default to song view?

Not default but you can view folders by tapping the top left corner and choose Folders

  • Make Album List view default for playlists

    I have my library broken up with playlists for each artist and I like to view the contents of each playlist in Album List view.
    iTunes remembers when you switch to this view, but after upgrading to iTunes 10 all playlists are back to list view, and it's a pain in the *** to switch to album view (especially since they've changed the keyboard shortcut).
    Does anyone know a way to set Album List as the default view? Or to switch all playlists to Album view in a group?

    Same problem here.  I like Artist List view the best.  I cannot find a way to set the default view in iTunes 11 and it is making me NUTS!

  • Photo date in "Album" view

    Can I view a photo's date while in Album view?  I would then like to be able to change the date in that view (I don't think this is possible).
    I have a huge number of undated pictures--random pictures that are part of larger events.  If I could see the date of a picture that is

    I don't consider this a feature request. In the default Photos library, the key photo in Album view fills the whole square. But for a library that was created from an Aperture library, the key photo does not fill the whole square.
    Is this a bug, or is there something I can do to make the key photo larger?

  • Album view in order of date added. Is it possible?

    album view in order of date added. Is it possible?
    In v10 I got used to ordering my music library with the newest additions on top, date added with the album view if it didn't take up more space.
    Now it's just the songs and I really don't like this. Album view is interesting but usless in alphebetical order which seems to be the default.
    I was told by another person here to use a smart playlist but the method they suggested was not clear.
    Can someone please explain how to do this or if there is a better alternative for someone who liked the old song view>date added>with album art?
    -thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. By "nr" are you referring to the shipping invoice that comes with the book? If so the answer is no. To order a book the library containing the book needs to be used.
    If someone had a copy of the library that created the book initially they could order a book on their own Apple account without you knowing about it. *+BUT they would have to have a copy of the iPhoto LIbrary to do so.+*
    So unless you think someone had access to your computer which housed the library a second copy of the book could not have been ordered.

  • No Album Artwork in "Album View"

    I recently upgraded to the iPhone OS 3.1 for the iPod Touch...
    and now when I'm in "Album View", seemingly random album artwork appears white, as though there is literally no image. (there is no default music symbol, its just blank)
    (this does not occur when playing the albums, or in cover flow, the artwork is there)
    I have done everything I can think of, short of wiping the device and starting all over again.
    Please Help ? ?

    Hi,
    This is just a suggestion, and since I don't have the 3.1 OS update, it may not help.
    If you have albums on your iPod that had no artwork appied to them when you added the files (i.e. you added the artwork to the iTunes files after you copied the files to the iPod) - then I'd suggest deleting the problem files from the iPod and re-adding them.
    My experience that itunes won't normally update artwork, and other information of files on the iPod during a sync. - You have to re-add the files to get the desired effect.
    I hope that information is useful.
    Kind regards,
    Peter.

  • Key photo image in Album View too small

    I imported a small Aperture Library into Photos to test things out. One thing I notice is that in Album View, the key photo for a folder is very small.
    Here is an example:
    I have tried making another photo the Key Photo, and switching back. They are always small. Any ideas on how to fix this?

  • Firmware 1.0.2 released - fixes Cover Flow album view

    Hi folks,
    Didn't see this posted yet - just synced my 3G nano and firmware 1.0.2 was available.
    Cover Flow is now showing albums exactly as the default album view in iTunes. Hooray!
    -Nikhil

    The only thing which is now better in coverflow is, that compilations are now hidden, but coverflow still lists up the artists in alphabetical order, not the albums ! Why?
    Apple, it can't be so difficult to let coverflow list up albums, _not artists_, in alphabetical order.
    Compilations are now listed just once (as they should be), but there's always listed the first artists name of a compilation, instead of "various artists". Of course you can set in every single compilation the first tracks "sorting name" as "various artists", but it can't be so difficult for apple to make that as default, as it works in iTunes.
    Please don't notice my terrible english. I'm a little bit upset >:-(

  • Art shows in itunes cover flow & album view but not on ipod

    I spent several hours downloading cover art to itunes for albums where the art couldn't be automatically retrieved by itunes. I'd browse through album view, and for every album that had no art, I'd (a) select the album by clicking on the default music-note image and thus activate the drag-and-drop target in the lower left, and (b) drag some art from a website. When I was done with this, all the albums for which I downloaded art would properly show art in the itunes cover flow and in album view mode.
    For the iPod (a 160GB Classic), I deselected "display album art on your ipod", hit "apply" to have it delete the art, then reselected and applied again, and itunes went through the process of formating and downloading the art to the ipod.
    Now, however, the iPod still only shows the artwork that had been automatically retrieved; all the art I had added manually won't show. Back in itunes, I notice that it looks like my process for downloading the art only resulted in the art being applied to one song per album, as far as I can tell randomly selected. If, in album view, I select each song individually, the art will show in the lower left corner (and in "get info") only for one of the songs; on one album it might be track 1 while on another it might be track 7. However this is enough for itunes to show the art for the whole album, and also to show the art in cover flow.
    Is there any automatic way to synchronize the art over a whole album, or at least to get it to download to the ipod so that it shows in cover flow and album view on the device as well as on the computer? I had to download art for about 190 albums; it would be a real drag to have to do that again.

    Ok, here is the method I used. Another member gave this to me. It has worked for my iTunes library, and hopefully my ipod on the next sync.
    I opened iTunes and Safari, with Safari on Amazon.com (to get the art). I would play any song from an album and command-click the each song in the album. Once each song is highlighted, I hit command-I to change info. I then dragged the art from Safari to the small box on the right of the smaller info change screen. This resulted in every song highlighted displaying the same artwork.
    I hope this helps.

  • Album View Freezes with iTunes 11.1.2

    After installing iTunes 11.1.2, any time I display the album view, iTunes freezes for between 30 seconds to 1 minute. If you are starting iTunes
    with the album view as the default, it will freeze on starting as well. Also any changes when in album view will cause the freeze, e.g. adding an album, changing properties on an album, etc.
    This only happens if the album view contains a large number of albums, e.g. over 2000 albums. The more albums, the longer it freezes. This didn't happen in 11.1.1, album displays on my PC were fast.
    I tried deleting and rebuilding the album art cache, but that didn't help. Any thoughts?

    I've spent 4 days trying to overcome the exact same problem that DougOle has described. I have a huge library, but never experienced a slow and laggy response. One click just to open an album will immediately display "Not Responding" in the Windows Task Manager and takes 30 seconds to 1 minute for execution. I'm not sure whether it's iTunes 11.1.2. or Windows 8.1, or both that's causing the problem.
    Despite previously running smoothly alongside iTunes, I've uninstalled BlackBerry Link and Samsung Link, but to no avail. It made no difference at all.
    I've stopped a whole bunch of processes at Start Up; this made things a little better, but clearly was not the problem. I've shut down all major components of McAfee Total Protection, but again this made no difference. I'm now at a loss.

  • Why is Remote app album view different than iTunes?

    I use the Remote app on my iPad to control the streaming of my PC's iTunes music library to my stereo.  I like the Album view because I can see most of the album covers. In iTunes 11.1 on my PC, album view displays the albums alphabetically by artist.  i.e. all Beatles albums are listed before any Rolling Stones albums.  But when viewing the same library on my iPad using the Remote app, the albums are listed alphabetically by album title, not by artist.  So each artist's albums are scattered all over.  I don't know about you, but when I'm looking for an album to play, I think about artists, not titles of albums.  But there doesn't seem to be any way to change the way the Remote app orders albums.  Am I missing something?  Is there any way to configure the Remote app to display albums in artist order?

    Hi go the first page of the Remote, the one which shows your shared libraries.
    Click Settings, and then Sort by Artist tab,
    Hope that helps!

  • How to navigate with the keyboard in album view?

    Hello
    Is there a better way to navigate through the albums and then select/control tracks within an "open" Album in Album-View without using the mouse than what I am trying to describe below?
    iTunes is idle.
    switch to album view (shortcut to switch view-methods?), select album by typing a few letters or using arrows
    press space to play the first track
    press cmd-L to highlight the playing track
    use left/right/up/down arrows to navigate in the files of the open album
    return to start playing the selected track
    escape to close the album
    cmd-. to stop playing
    arrows to navigate the album-collection, space-bar to start playing album (track 1)
    cmd-L to highlight playing track
    arrows to navigate tracks in the album. (if the playing trck is highlighted)
    cmd-left/right to play previous/next track
    method to select/start playing a specific track in the open album? (While itunes is either idle or playing from another album)?

  • ITunes album view not working and no album art?

    Hi all -
    Bought a 64GB iPhone 5 and uploaded my music via my desktop - all seems to have run fine, except that album artwork isn't showing for many of them, even when I select the option "View artwork".
    I've read on another thread that ID3 tags of 2.3 or lower are not supported, but find it hard to accept there's no compatibility here - so am presuming user error rather than Apple trying to force users to manually update all their albums (I have 57GB of music - don't want to update album art on everything!)
    Also, I've just downloaded and installed iTunes on my laptop, and connected the iPhone to laptop. However, the album view options aren't working. All songs are simply listed by album name, but none of the column listing features work either (ie, sort by name, genre, etc).
    I presumed iTunes had crashed, but restarting the laptop and the same happens. Am on latest software for iTunes and iOS 6.
    One more curiosity - how do I download my music from the iPhone to the desktop? I had presumed it would do this automatically (ie, into the iTunes media folder) but so far nothing.
    Or is it simply the case that iTunes is preparing to download all music into the desktop, hence why it's not working properly? Simply because there's no notice of anything happening.
    Apologies for any newbie questions - found myself using the iPad quite a lot for apps, but never for music as it was only the 16GB version, so have been sold into joining the Apple walled garden. Would be nice to get these issues sorted out, though.

    Hi David
    Yes, I found the importer now. I also fixed my problem, but with 'brute force':
    For each of the folders not being indexed, including the ~/Library/Mail folder, I turned on Privacy in the Spotlight System Prefs and then turned it off again. This seems to have fixed things. I did this for some old document folders too and that also seems to have worked.
    So far so good. thanks again. For now I'm marking this as solved.

  • In Album View Same Album Art Shows On Mulitiple Albums

    Hi,
    When I view my music collection in "album" view in itunes 11 many of the albums I have are using the same cover art, ie the album art from a single album is being incorrectly repeated across multiple albums.
    This is not the case for all my albums as some have the correct album art showing.
    In cases of albums were the incorrect artowrk shows in "album" view if I then go into "song" view and select the first song in the album and go into "get info" and then "Artwork" I can see that the incorrect album cover is showing.  And this is the album art that is also used in the album view in itunes.
    However, if I look at the second, or sometimes the third song in the album in "get info" "artwork" the correct artwork is actually showing.
    So it looks like somehow itunes has taken one randon album cover and applied it to the first song of many of my albums, but left the correct artwork for the remaining songs of an album. 
    So the correct artwork is still "there" but it is only applied to the second and following songs of an album.
    I have hundreds of albums in tiunes and am hoping for a slick way to fix this.  As slick as Apples advertising.  I would prefer not to have to have to spend a weekend moving files around so simple is good.
    I have tried to delete all the cover art files and the get artwork again but same thing happens.
    May thanks in advance.

    Thanks for you help turingtest2.
    I have searced for that file and I get it twice in the same folder.  one of the files has a date stamp appended to it 2013-01-25 (todays date).
    I copied both files to another folder and moved the album artwork folder to the same folder.
    I then restarted itunes.  I did not have to request any artwork and the original artwork was still there (incorrectly).  It did not seem like anything was downloaded as itunes opened quick and when i selected album view it went to there without delay automatically with the artwork there.
    The album artwork folder was recreated in the itunes folder.
    I did a search for the *.itc files and it seems the old moved album artwork folder contained may more *.itc files than were recreated in "recreated" album artwork folder.  Not sure if that means anything.
    Hmmm.

  • How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view?  Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod.  How do I get all the songs on that album togeth

    How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view?  Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod.  How do I get all the songs on that album together on my iPod?  If the album is a collaboration wtih many artists, each sond may appear as a separate album.

    I used to have this problem.
    First, you need to go back on iTunes
    you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
    Click the album so all the songs drop down
    Right click the songs that have this problem
    Click ' Get info '
    Click the tab that says " info '
    The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
    Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
    as such,
    ARTIST
    JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
    ALBUM ARTIST
    JAY-Z
    These should be separate for each artist
    If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album

  • Can you sort albums by release date, rather than year, in album view?

    I love the new album view in iTunes 11, but the only problem I have with it is sometimes albums are in the wrong order.
    For example, last year Green Day released a trilogy of albums called ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! but since they were released in the same year, they're ordered as ¡Dos!, ¡Tré, ¡Uno! when sorted by artist and then year which really doesn't sit right with me.
    In short, the sorting options for albums view are very limited, is there any way to extend them?
    Also I'm aware that I could, as a cheap fix, change the sorting in album to the release date backwards, but I'd rather not do that as it would make it a bit more troublesome for me to navigate my albums on my iPhone.
    Thanks!

    I agree that Apple should improve the year field to be an actual date.
    I am not 100% happy doing this, but when you have multiple albums from a single artist for the same release year, a temporary solution is to chage the album title by adding an outline type letter before album titles for that year, so that they appear in the correct order:
    David Bowie
    1977
    a. Low
    David Bowie
    1977
    b. "Heroes"
    etc
    This could help in the short term until Apple changes that field.
