[Desktop][Playlists] Album Art for Playlist Tracks

I'm pretty visual when it comes to music. I'll identify with an album cover rather than a band/artist name.
So once I've created a playlist of new music I find it hard to recall where it's come from or who the band are as there is no visual reference for each track.
I propose that there is an additional column in playlists which displays a small thumbnail of the album/single cover. Perhaps this could enlarge on hover. 

Updated: 2015-07-14Hello and thanks for the feedback!
Any news regarding this request will be announced in the original idea topic here:

  • How do I Get Album Art for Some Tracks Only?

    I feel really stupid for asking this but I have tried to find out how to do it to no avail!
    I only want to get the album art for actual albums but whenever I click on "Get Album Artwork" it goes through my whole library!
    I have tried by highlighting the songs and then clicking get album artwork... did not work.
    I have tried only selecting the songs I wanted [using checkbox thingy] and then clicking get album artwork... did not work.
    I feel there is a really simple and obvious way to do this but cannot for the life of me figure out how.
    Regards,
    Michael

    HAHAHAHAHA!
    Thank you! I tried that and did not see it at all!

  • How can I quickly get the same album art for all tracks on an album without manually doing them one at a time?

    I am having trouble with album art linked to each track. My library is ripped from my own cd's and ITunes only provides some of the artwork from a find artwork search. The rest must be found and added one at a time manually from web. This process is tedious and time consuming for me. Is there a file in iTunes related to each album that I can just drop the art once and it shows up linked to all the tracks from that album when they play? I've tried selecting all songs from an album and dragging the artwork to the artwork window once in hopes of all tracks getting the artwork at the same time with no luck. Any advice for this paltry artwork dilemma would be appreciated. If Cassidy & Greene still owned this ******* child of SoundJam I know I would not be having this problem! HaHa...Thanks for any advice/help with this problem.

    Thx 4 quick reply alexbird. Your method will work and after a little experimenting so will this: Just go to the album art view option and highlight the album you want artwork for. Drag the artwork from your album art web search page to bottom left hand album art window in iTunes and just drop it there. A small progress window then appears showing each album track adopting the dropped artwork one by one. It only takes 10-15 seconds for all of the tracks on your album to adopt the new artwork. I then went back and removed unwanted artwork(from the albums that had it) track by track from the get info menu. This goes pretty quick as you just pick track>get info>artwork>highlight art>delete>ok for each track.
    This drag/drop to the album art view page has been the simplest and most effective way I have discovered to manually import album artwork into iTunes so far. Hope this helps someone else out there. Any other methods or suggestions to do this task added to this thread will be duly noted. Thx... Oh, I am currently using iTunes 10.5.1

  • Can't add album art to some tracks

    Using iTunes 7.4.2 (4)
    I have some MP3 files that don't have album art. For some of the albums, I've been able to use iTunes to download the art. For others, I've had to manually copy/paste the art in the Artwork field under the Get Info menu item. But, there are some MP3s that I have that don't have album art and iTunes can't find them. I can go under Get Info and paste some art into the Artwork field (I see it in the field) but when I click OK, it doesn't save. I go back into the Get Info and there's nothing there.
    How can I get album art for these tracks?
    Also, I have a few tracks that have the Artwork tab under Get Info completely grayed out and I can't select it. How can I activate that feature for these tracks?
    Thanks!

    I am not sure how much use this will be, but for what its worth here is the way I add artwork. I don't drag and drop. I mainly use a widget Amazon Art, this alows you to access the Amazon websight and find the appropriate album cover then add it to the iTunes library, one of the operating options is selscted tracks, which involves you highlighting the album before you click on set as album artwork, which I find more relyable than currently playing track or album.
    Slightly more reliable than the widget is to find art work and then copy it (If you use Amazon, its always worth clicking on show larger image of the album). Then select the entire album, in itunes and then use Command (Ctrl on a PC I suspect) and i. This allows you to paste in album art work for the entire album. It has never failed me in the past. One word of warning, be a little careful in editing double albums or various artist albums as it is easy to combine the two albums or make an entire album by a single artist.
    Hope you find his of some help

  • Tracks often displaying incorrect album art in playlist and podcast modes

    Strange one this, and not at all consistent.
    I'm often noticing that the album art for another unrelated album is being displayed when I am playing music from a playlist or playing a podcast.
    Any ideas how to stop my iPod Touch doing this, and to display the correct artwork?

    I too have the exact same problem, and pretty often too. It's really a pain when I've taken the time to find almost all of the correct artwork for all 18,000+ songs (92+ GB) in my iTunes library, and yet it won't be displayed correctly on my iPhone. I've tried countless reset's, restore's, starting fresh with a new library, etc. Nothing I can think of works. Does anyone have a successful solution? I sometimes get an error when trying to update my iPhone 3GS with the number (-6999) at the end of it. I'm wondering if there's any correlation there...

  • Why is it that Itunes can't find album art for "North" by Elvis Costello and others

    Why is it that from all the albums in my Library itunes can not find album art for:
    "North" by Elvis Costello
    "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay
    and "Old Yellow Moon" by Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowel?

    Earl,
    For iTunes to find the art, it needs to match exactly on the Artist and Album Text.  Minor issues like spacing or punctuation can prevent the match, as can a misspelling like "Crowel" for Crowell."
    Look in the iTunes Store to get the exact text, fix the tags in the corresponding tracks, and then try again to "Get Album Artwork."
    If that still fails, just grab the correct art off the web, and paste it into the Artwork tab.

    I updated my iPad 2 iOS to 6.1.2 and lost my album art for all my music , how can I get them back?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • Automatic album art for music I already own? not happening

    The iTunes 7 description claims that it will automatically add album art for albums I've downloaded from my own CD collection, as long as the album exists on the iTunes music store. This is definitely NOT happening, which means a lot of albums display as blank. Has anyone successfully had album art added for music they didn't download from the music store? Any hints on making this happen? Thanks!

    Has anyone successfully had album art added for music they didn't download from the music store?
    Yes. I downloaded artwork for several ripped CDs.
    Any hints on making this happen?
    The Name, Artist and Album have to be spelled exactly as in the iTunes Store.
    It also seems to be case sensitive.
    Hope this helps.

  • Set album art for movies?

    anyone know how to set or change the "album art" for movies in your itunes music library?

  • No album art for uploaded cds

    I uploaded a couple of cds i bought, and i cant figure out how to get album art for those cds. Any one know how to fix this?

    Yeah, people from iTunes supported countries can easily download artwork, but if you are from a not supported country then get iTunes Art Importer, much easier then dragging covers into every song.

  • Separate Album art for each episode.

    I have a video podcast that I set up and I'm trying to make separate album art for each episode- unfortunately I have no idea how to even go about this.
    I'm prepared to edit the xml file if I need to, as long as someone can walk me through it.
    thanks!

    hey all,
    I did some fooling around and I was able to get it. I didn't even need to do anything to the xml file.
    Here's how:
    I imported the movie into itunes BEFOREHAND and gave it album art (a jpg image). This metadata was saved and when I dragged the file from my itunes library over into iWeb, that metadata carried over, even when I tried subscribing to it as a video podcast, the picture I dragged into the artwork field was still there.
    Hooray!

  • Recovering album art for movies

    I am having problems with the album art on itunes. The album art for my songs, tv shows, and movies, I can seem them in itunes. but when I load the files onto my ipod touch the album art gets screwed up. It takes frames from movies and substitutes them for album art for a song. anyway so I went to the apple store, and they told me to delete the album art and have itunes redownload it using the get album art thing in itunes. I went into the movie files and deleted the album art. and when I told itunes to get new album art, it did not fix the problem. now I can't see the album art in itunes anymore. I know it's not a big deal... but I really would like to fix it. any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    As a recommendation, check online to see if you can get an app that does that for you. 

  • Can't get Album Art for CDs

    I ripped a bunch of CDs to Windows Media Player and it got the album art for all of them. Then later I installed iTunes and it automatically converted the songs over to it from WMP, but iTunes did not get the album art and it says that it is not available when I click on "Get Album Art." What do I do?

    Not a complete answer, but will get you most of the art work you need.
    Find the album on the Internet. I usually try Amazon.com, puretracks.com, or any site that will let you right click and save the art work shown. Use the "Save As" and save it as a "jpg" file. Make sure you put it in a location, and give it a name you can find.
    Open iTunes, find the album and right click on it. Click on "Get Info", go to the "Artwork" tab, and click on "Add". Brows to the location where you saved the artwork and add it.
    If you have more that one song in the same album you can add the same artwork to each song by right clicking on the artwork just imported and selecting copy. Go to the next song's artwork and right click and select past.
    Not the best, but after I find the album I can add the artwork to all the songs in an album in less that two minutes.
    It is taking a little work, but I am slowly overcoming the stupidity of the Apple programmers who wrote iTunes. It is a fairly good program, but it could be much better if Apple would make it easier for users to submit suggestions, and if they incorporated the popular suggestions. Unfortunately Apple has always had an arrogant attitude and they are not likely to change any time soon.

  • Itunes deleted album art from all tracks except the first from each album.

    I spent so many hours adding the album art to every track of the 1100 albums on my ipod. And recently after connecting my ipod to itunes the artwork has been deleted from every track except the first of each album.
    So i can still see all the albums in coverflow but when listening to individual tracks past track one the art disappears. Is there any way that i can get the art back on all my tracks without spending 100 hours on amazon?
