Anyway to have an animated album cover?

Strange question I know. I though maybe using an animated gif as a cover would work, but it didnt seem to. Anyone know if this is even a possibility at this point?
thanks

  • Removing the 'music note' - Can i control what album cover is displayed as the cover album under the artists tab in the Music app?

    Ive searched for the longest and havent found a solution to removing the 'music note' . For example, i might have 10 albums under a particular artist, 1 of which i have no cover art for and it seems that thats the album chose to display. No matter the year or particular order the album falls in under the artist. Most artists that have a missing album cover dont show it but the ones that do still annoy me. I know im not the first to ask this so what can be done? Help me out
    P.s. this is an issue ive had since the ipad 2 as the music app hasnt changed. Im running the latest software (5.1)

    Its not the cover art itself, I know how to ADD album art.. Some albums just dont have cover art for whatever reason - problem is, that these albums are randomly chosen as the first album cover of an artist in the music library on my ipad. For example, i have a local artist album with no cover - he has 4 albums but the one thats diplayed at their name is of course the music note indicating theres no album artwork.
    So why the **** does it choose the ONE album with no artwork and is there a way i can designate which album i want displayed for a particular artist?

    Now running itunes version 11.0.1.12 since the update I've added songs to playlists and they won't sync - I was able to get the songs into my ipod library by downloading from the cloud but they wouldn't even sync from my pc library to my ipod - when I first downloaded this crappy update - so sorry i did - the thing wouldn't sync at all after rebooting my windows xp pc three times it says it syncs fine and goes through all the motions but it won't pull over new content at all - songs or podcasts -  on top of that the new version seems to have done away with the album cover display - I just got an android phone as a gift i was going to take back I may keep it now and drawer my beloved ipod now that apple has made it obsolete

    There's a good guide here on how to roll back to 10.7 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4559563?tstart=0

  • How do I get rid of artwork that is automatically put in from itunes.. it is not the album cover...which I used to have. How it disappeared I have no idea???

    Some of my artwork (album covers) have disappeared and been replaced by some funky designs???  I don't know what I clicked on to make this happen but they seem to be disappearing more and more?  I copied the artwork from my other computer and put them in a folder to replace them.  When I click  on the far rt. hand icon at the bottom left corner of the screen where it pops up and lets you put custom artwork etc in if you choose I can paste the album cover there but it doesn't lock it in or replace it over in my album nor in my cover flow??  Hope that makes sense!
    Please help

    Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic.  I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod.   It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

    Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod?  Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

  • Album Cover art

    I like the idea of being able to browse using cover art but it is only a useful feature if you can get most cover art . There are many albums for which iTunes has album cover art, albums which I own original copies of, for which I can't get album art.
    Examples: Sigur Ros /Saeglour, T-Bone Burnett /True False Identity, Paul Simon/ Surprise, Graceland, all of Van Morrison's albums, most Dylan and Neil Young albums and many others.
    Apple put this feature on I Tunes, but many album covers which you show on the Itunes store website don't download. I have both checked "automatically download missing album artwork" in preferences and requested Get album artwork in the Advanced Tab . If I control click on the album artwork on iTunes store, I can't even copy the image to paste it in manually. Also, when I request album art I often get an "unable to download certain artwork " message with no further explanation. If I'm supposed to buy the album art I'd like to know how and how much.
    What's up?

    The spelling was ok since almost all were entered using gracenote. Anyway it suddenly started working. without changing anything I could tell I asked again to get album artwork from the Advanced tab and it started downloading 400 album covers. whatever. So my problem wasn't answered but it is solved. thanks for the google image search idea. So I guess I'll mark it answered.

    If you add music videos to Up Next playlist, then go to look at the album cover playing screen, then go to add another song from different playlist, you no longer can see Up Next, just go to full screen mode button. Using remote app iPhone 5 to play out of iTunes. It looks like it works fine for regular music, but for music videos you can't see your up next unless you go back on the computer to change once you've left the screen. When using the remote app, you shouldn't need to go to iTunes on the PC to view or edit Up Next already added. See first image, you can hit upper right and get back to Up Next (second image). Third image is music video, where you can't get back to Up Next, just swap between full screen and not. I hoped 3.0.1 would have the answer, no luck!

    wow, very nice review Makes me want to get a vision for myself.

    I would love that feature. I can't stand useing my computer with a single wall paper anymore (I have 500 anime pics that i rotate between every 2 mins ) If you could make the vision rotate background every x minutes or every time the player is turned on, it would be totally amazeningly sweet!!!! (i might have to go out and buy one then :P)
    I just hope that creative has better firmware support with the vision than they have had with the touch.
    Once again, great review

  • Print too Small vs Album Cover

    I just upgraded from a G2 Nano to a G4 Nano. The album cover/art work takes up the whole screen and the song title and artist are really small at the bottom of the screen. Is there anyway to NOT show Album cover and have song title and Artist in Main screen? It's useless to see the album cover but not be able to read song/artist! Thanks

    That was the complain when the Classic line first came out and had the split screen. Even when you turn off the artwork on the iPod, you still are stuck with the split screen with the one side simply not showing artwork anymore but not giving up its real estate for more useful purposes.
    Sorry,
    Patrick

  • Album Cover Browsing Error

    I just downloaded the version 7 of iTunes, and now I continuously get a fatal error everytime I try to access the movies section of the store, saying that my version of Windows doesn't support browsing album covers. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
    Thanks!!

    I've been having the same problem after I downloaded the new version of itunes (I wish I would have kept the old one). If anyone comes up with an answer to the crazy "album cover..." issue (what is the deal with an album cover anyway), please, please let me know. I'm very tired of trying to click on tv shows or movies, and getting that stupid thing and then getting the "error reporting" box. I sent email to support at itunes and still haven't gotten an answer. by the way, what is DirectX?

  • ITunes 12 how do I delete an album cover

    Is there still an option to delete the album cover? I can't find it

    The iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
    Delete Artwork
    On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
    Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
    Add Artwork
    Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the center of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
    You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
    If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
    If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
    Replace/Remove All Artwork
    The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
    Old Style Get Info Dialog
    Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

  • Compilations: Can you show just one album cover with mixes/compiations?

    Using the current iTunes (11.01) is a misery. I have numerous mix discs and compilations, and for each title eg Royksopp's BACK TO MINE mix, there are about 15 tiles of the album, one for each song. In extreme cases, there may be over 100. Since I have God knows how many songs, easily in the tens of thousands, this is an extremely inefficient way to display my collection.
    Is there any way to display albums with just the one album cover and title showing each time? THis is ridiculous.
    Thanks in advance.

    Wow!
    Is that really so?
    I'm not questioning your answer. Just want to make sure before I say OK and let it be. I had heard that iTunes/iPod forces you to do things their way, this is an example, I guess!
    Thanks for the input.
    I guess I'll just have to leave it be!
    Is iTunes the only way to deal with iPod? Are there any other programs?

  • How do I revert back to previous (before 11) itunes. Someone nicked my Album Cover flow, without asking

    how do I revert back to previous (before 11) itunes.
    Someone nicked my Album Cover flow, without asking. I have snow leopard. I was happy. Just before Christmas as if I havent got enough to do Thank You. I've given Apple loads of money this year--presents and all, the least they could do is tell me, they're going to take stuff off of My computer that I enjoy,/ find very useful/ and worked hard to update all my album covers and have a gallery of my own artwork for my mixes--it was beautiful. When I went to add some more, the facility had been taken away from me. Was so dissapointed. They send me emails all the time to buy the latest must have products. I even did a questionair to help them. They really care for their customers--right. So why couldnt they warn me about this update, its only polite.
    If I bought a warm coat some years ago, then the manufatures came round without my knowledge and cut off the left arm, and later told me, their reserch says that people dont use the left arm so much so they have to get rid of it. 1. I think that would be illegal. 2. its impolite not to ask if they could do it. 3. why not give me an options to keep it, seeing as i bought it. 4. its ludicrous.
    I trusted Apple-but then -they took my YouTube off my ipad. I cant update to newer software as I will lose some expensive programms (Im not made of money). I also have 2 oldish defunct but fully working laser printers (if they were compatible with new software).
    Im not a techky-I just use the stuff, I do art and music and Cover Flow was equipement I used.
    I want to get rid of itunes 11, anyhelp out there

    click the blue download button...

  • Walkman app display incorrect album cover

    I made an account just to post this.
    Okay, my device is Xperia Z1 C6903 and I use the Walkman app to play music, and honestly, I love the app, it's a great app and all, I love the interface and surround feature. I do not have thought of using any other music player such as Poweramp.
    But I don't understand why the all the files in an album has to display the same album art, I don't know about if my app or system is defective, all I know is Walkman works likes this:
    All files with the same Album name tag, with album art or not, will display the same album art as the first track of the album.
    Therefore if the files in an album contains different variety of album art, it will all be replaced by the album art tagged in the first track.
    I have thoughts if I am the only one who has this problem cause not only Walkman app does this sort of thing, even Play Music (Google's music app) does the same, is something wrong with my system? So far I know Poweramp (Trial) display album art correctly and does not have any sort of this kind of problem.
    And no, my phone is not rooted.
    That is bascially my problem is anyone know the solution, or comments, you're more than welcomed to share. Honestly, I love this app and I cannot be persuade to use another app to play music.
    P.S.
    If you ask me if there's any improvement/new feature that can be done to this app, and the only thing that I'd wish this app can have is crossfade effect and please, remove the big title block with "Enjoy Your Music Anytime and Everywhere" on it, it takes up lot of space and I hate to have to scroll down in order to access other shortcuts.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I do not own Z1,I just gave you a suggestion which I thought would help.How about if you tap the third button while you are over a song,select edit music info and select what art do you want?
    Okay, here's what I did, I tested out an album with two songs in it, both tagged with different cover when displayed on PC, now I transfered it to Z1 by just dragging it to SD card folder, didn't use Media Go or anything, when displayed on Walkman, the second song displays album cover that is of the first song, I proceed to "Edit music info", I clicked on the album art, I discovered that is over written by something, so I clicked on "Clear album art", choose "Save", and turned out the song got quickly over written again, I think it has something to do with the "Download music info" app thing, by Gracenote, unless this is under observation of a developer, I don't think this can be solved, right now I'd try using Media Go, see if that works.
