Default album art display setting?

Is there a way to set the default song display setting to be the full screen album artwork? I use the ipod while driving and would rather not have text on teh screen, unless I am in a position to read it, if desired. I have the latest Itunes, for Windows XP
Thank you very much

With the iPod with color display? The answer is no. When you select the larger image, after a few seconds it reverts to the "now playing" screen.
Only the newer model iPods have the ability to keep the larger artwork picture displayed until such time as the centre button is pressed again.

  • Unknown artist displays non default album art

    So here's the situation.
    Normally if you add an untagged item to iTunes, you would get the default album art (the music grey music note with the black background). This isn't the case for me.
    If I add an MP3 that doesn't have the Artist field filled in, I don't get the default album art. Instead I get this weird image. When I try to click "Get Info," there is no artwork for me to delete. I've tried clearing the artwork, clearing the iTunes artwork cache, and rebooting. None of these seemed to fix the problem. This only happens when the artist field isn't filed up.
    Any ideas?

    I also had missing album art for artists even though I had artwork for all the albums by those artists. I was able to get album art in place of the blank icons. I simply deleted all the music by those artist and re-loaded the music and I successfully acquired album art in place of the blank icons. Unfortunately, you do not have a choice of the album art as you did with iTunes 10, as iTunes 11 chooses the album art  from the respected artist as a default.  I hope this helps as this is the only solution I could find.

  • Large Album Art Display Problem

    I accidentally pressed into the option provided by iPod nano that allows you to view the album art in a large size that takes up the screen. In turn, the other information and the length of the song disappeared, only to be replaced by the outline of the album (I didn't insert album art for much of them) How do I change the setting back? So I can view the information of the song again in one screen? (smaller album art, song name, album name, length of the song, etc.)
    Thanks. I would really appreciate your help. I realize that this is a very, very minor problem because other people WANT the large album art display image to pop out. But I just can't seem to get it to reverse to the normal display. Thanks again!

  • Where did the album art display go?

    In iTunes 10.6 for Windows, the album art display in the Library column is gone. I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to put it back. For clarity's sake, I'm talking about the thumbnail at the bottom left corner, right under Playlists – the one that shows 'now-playing' album art or videos. What (hopefully simple) procedure am I missing, or otherwise doing wrong?
    Thanks!

  • Default Album Art

    Hi. I have quite a few songs which have no cover art, and I really can't be bothered trying to find it all. But I don't really care for the icon that comes up where there is no cover art.
    I was just wondering if there was any way to change that default album art for songs with none of their own?
    Thanks!

    Not that I'm aware of...but that doesn't mean it can't be done.
    If they are all in an album, then you can use any picture you want. If they are all singles, you can do the same thing, but it takes much longer to do.
    Personally, if I'm going to take the time to change the "default" cover art, I'm going to use the album cover.

  • Wrong album art displaying for songs on my iPod Classic.

    I am having a problem with my 160GB classic iPod. (6th gen. I believe, it's the first 160GB iPod to be released.)
    It doesn't happen a lot, but I noticed wrong album art displaying for my songs on my iPod. Then when I check in itunes, the album art is correct. Also, I manually manage my music and videos. So when I check the album art from my ipod's hard-drive through itunes, the album art is correct as well.
    I believe the problem happens when the iPod itself tries to find the album art images for the current song being played. It somehow gets jumbled and puts up a random album art image instead of the one it is supposed to.
    One thing i noticed is this. Lets say I shuffle all my songs. Once I get up to a song with wrong album art, I skip pass it lets say about 5-10 songs, then I go back to it. The album art often corrects itself, and the right album art is displayed.
    I looked around the forums here and see that other people are having similar problems with different kinds of iPods. Maybe it's a firmware issue?

    I'm having the exact same issue on my iPod Classic. Haven't used this forum before - do experts provide feedback, or do we just hope that another user can suggest a cure? I haven't reformatted my iPod yet - huge pain, as I also manually manage my music - but will do that if no other solutions present themselves.

  • How to set the Default Album Art in the Artist Grid?

    This option was lost when upgrading to iTunes 11, how do I do it? A lot of my artists have blank Grid art (even though every album I own has artwork).

    I also had missing album art for artists even though I had artwork for all the albums by those artists. I was able to get album art in place of the blank icons. I simply deleted all the music by those artist and re-loaded the music and I successfully acquired album art in place of the blank icons.

  • Album Art Display question...

    Hello,
    I am able to sync my songs onto my nano with the album art from ITunes, but when the song plays, the art on the screen is very small. I thought that it would fill the whole screen. Is there a setting or some way to get the album art to fill the entire screen? (I've read through the manual and searched these forums but was not able to find anything on this).
    Thank you in advance!

    Double click the centre select button to see a larger picture of the artwork. Click once again to revert to the 'now playing' screen'.

  • ITunes fetching default album art from installed iOS app

    Hello,
    Whenever I import an MP3 file (by dragging it from Finder) with -no- embeded artwork into iTunes I'd expect this to be added with the default double quaver album artwork.
    However the default artwork is instead taken from an iPad/iPhone app from my iTunes library! iTunes was assigning the icon from the World Atlas app, I removed this app, tried importing the MP3 file again and iTunes instead assigned the icon from a differrent app.
    This happens with -all- MP3 files with no embedded artwork. MP3 files with embedded artwork are fine, with iTunes using the correct artwork from the file.
    It seems iTunes has somehow lost the double quaver (I suppose it's still in iTunes/Contents/Packages somewhere) from a cache? But clearing this cache may not be a solution as, as I mentioned before when I delete the app from where iTunes assigns its image, it then proceeds to get the image from -another- app.
    MP3 files with no embedded artwork show the double quaver fine in Finder.
    Does anybody have any ideas on this?
    Thanks very much in advance.

    I've read it, and I'm not a legal person, so if you want to be sure you need to contact MS support or a legal expert, but my take is this:
    - The mass download doesn't conflict with the TOU, just as long as it's an end user initiating the mass downloads. Once agents, robots, scripts and spiders initiate a mass download you are violating the TOU.
    - Copy, store, cache is allowed assuming the end user has a valid subscription.
    but the sample they gave with fetching data does not check for the user subscription, it checks for my developer subscription...
    I contacted microsoft directly...let's hope they answer soon...I will post their answer here...
    I can use the API as long as I put the "available on xbox music" badges on the album art as well

  • Album art grid setting...

    hi
    when viewing album art as grid, can you stop itunes from displaying mulitple covers from the same album (this happens alot for complitatons.).
    ie what i would like to see is just the album cover, and once you click on it, it would show all the tracks / artist etc/
    but what i have under the grid is the album cover, and the name and artist listed,
    is an entry for every track listed on the compilation.
    any idea on how to change it.

    If the one on the right. I'm not 100% sure. Make sure you don't have secondary album art in any of the songs in questions as a single track can take more than one copy of album art.

  • Album art display

    Ipod 80 gig works fine, but.... With some albums, the tracks show the correct album art, but when I double click to have the art fill the entire display, a different album's art appears. It is only a problem for some of the albums on my ipod. Is there a way to correct this?

    Give this a try, it usually sorts out wrong artwork problems:
    1. Connect your iPod
    2. Disable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
    3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes.
    4. Re-enable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
    5. Syncronise the iPod again.

  • Album art displays very slowly!

    I hope someone can help me. I called AppleCare and some guy didn't even know what I was talking about. I have a lot of music I bought at the iTunes Store which is saved in the ITunes folder via artist, then album, then tracks. I have checked the icon preview button so that my album art will display on every track. Before I updated to Leopard 10.5.3, the redrawing of the album art was very fast; now however it is slow as molasses. I would appreciate any input on this issue. Thank you.

    This is an update to my original post. It appears my iTunes Library file is corrupted, because when I created a new iTunes library file, all my art work on my tracks displayed very fast, no slowdown at all. Also when I logged in as a different user, same thing. No problems with my album art being displayed. Is there a way of fixing a corrupted iTunes library file? I have a lot of music, videos and TV shows, all neatly arranged in various playlists I created. Just to do it over again would take me weeks. Also since I've been backing my internal drive using Time Machine, can I go back and retrieve my iTunes library file before it became corrupted? Thank you for any help you can give me.

  • Album art displays in ITunes but not on iPod for some album

    Hi, I have setup album art on iTunes for my ipod, and in itunes all the art shows correctly.
    However the iPOD just displays album art for only some of the albums, not all...
    This is really frustrating Apple. How can I report or fix this problem?
    Thanks
    Simon

    I have THE EXACT same problem. Except, I added all album art by hand, to my ipod playlist after hand-selecting all 356 songs to my nano. Only to find that when I attempted to transfer the album art to my nano even after checking and unchecking the album art option, it does not work. Does anyone know if the album art needs to be added to itunes before songs are put onto the nano?

  • Album art displays very slowly; iTunes library file is corrupted?

    Since I have updated to the latest version of Leopard, my album art in the iTunes music folder displays at a snail's pace, where before it was fast as lightning. It appears my iTunes Library file is corrupted, because when I created a new iTunes library file, all my art work on my tracks displayed very fast, no slowdown at all.

    You should be able to retieve your pre-corrupted library file from TM, provided the corruption didn't happen to far back.

  • Wrong Album Art Displayed

    I could not find anyone who has the same problem as I do. When I play music on the iPod I love adding album art. However when I installed the latest update for the iPod I encountered a glitch when playing music on the device.
    For example, if I decide to play Beck's album Odelay, a different album art is displayed on all songs in the album. However if I change the iPod screen to album art only while the song is playing, the correct album art is displayed. I don't think that this is an iTunes bug as this problem does not occur on iTunes. It occurs only on my iPod.
    Is there a way to fix this bug?

    Try this, it usually sorts out incorrect artwork being displayed:
    1. Connect your iPod
    2. Disable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
    3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes.
    4. Re-enable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
    5. Syncronise the iPod again.
