How to resize album art icon on iTunes?

Hi, i'm new to itunes on mac and i wanna ask:
How do you control the size of your album art in the browser mode? There used to be a slider to do it right?

In the Grid view, *View > Grid View > Show Header* should expose the header. In the List view it's contolled by the size of the artwork column.

Resize album art

How do I resize album art in iTunes 11. In iTunes 10 there was a slider control to enlarge or shrink the art. Is it gone??

This really bothers me as well. Why can't album art be displayed at a large size? I have high-quality, large album covers that I've taken time to collect and I'd like to view these at as large of a size as I'd like. In my opinion the album artwork is just as much a part of the album as the tracks. I feel the restriction on album art size is way too small and takes away from the experience of interacting with my music collection. I like the way the new Myspace complements the album tracks with a large album cover display.

I can no longer add album art work in iTunes version 10.6.0.40

WHY can I no longer add album art work in iTunes version 10.6.0.40? It is maddening. I have checked many boards and discussion groups but no one has a sure fix. Why is Apple not tending to this problem? They of all groups should know the importance of how something looks.

I had the the same problem albeit with an m4v (same hardware and OS rev too!, iTunes 10.6.3). I was able to add the movie to a new library per Limnos' suggestion here, indicating that iTunes wasn't totally busted. However, I was also able to see the movie in the Recently Added smart playlist (another hat tip to Limnos), although it still did not appear in the Movies section of my iTunes library. (It was also in the iTunes Library.xml file.)
So I called AppleCare, and they directed me to move the file from the external drive where it was living, into the /Users/<Your Name Here>/Movies directory, and to "Add to Library" (Command-O) from that location. Sure enough (and much to my surprise), it showed up immediately (duplicated, actually) in the Movies section of my iTunes library. Subsequent additions to my Library have not misbehaved similiarly.

ITunes Album Art Screensaver with iTunes Match in Lion

A well documented problem so far.
Would just like a DEFINITIVE answer
Running iTunes 10.5.3
Lion 10.7.2
iTunes Match working great with songs still stored locally.
Have re-downloaded all album artwork & displays just fine while in iTunes
When activating Screensaver, get the message 'No iTunes artwork found'
Ok all you mac/iTunes geniuses, what have you figured out so far?

I found that I too had this problem. I have tried everything that is suggested here and else were.
What I had to do was maybe a combo of everything suggested here and what I did. Don't know for sure, but I am not going to try to break it again to find out.
After none of these suggestions would get it to work I started digging.
Using Activity Monitor, I could see that when I had the System Preferences open it was taking way to much Physical RAM and CPU, so I selected "System Preferences" from the list of open processes and then clicked the "Inspect" button at the top of the Activity Monitor, under the "Open Files and Ports" tab I could see that the "iTunes Library.itl" file was trying to be accessed. So then I closed the "Inspect" window and clicked the "Sample Process" button. I got A LOT of information, and a lot of error messages refering to iTunes that contained the text "(in iTunesAccess) load address" and a bunch of different numbers that I couldn't tell you what they mean. Searching google for "(in iTunesAccess) load address" didn't give me anything of value, so I figured that since System Preferences kept trying to call the "iTunes Library.itl" file and I was getting a bunch of iTunes errors in sampling the System Preferences process, that the problem might lie in my library.
So to test, I copied about 50 or so songs with album art to the iTunes library of a new user I had just created on my computer. Then I tried to turn on the artwork screen saver, and it worked right out of the gate. So that told me it wasn't a global problem with the computer, just within my profile. Since I have had the same library for about 10 years though hardware, OS, and iTunes upgrades, I thought, maybe if there was some way I could rebuild my Library file it might be happier, and since I don't want to loose all my play lists and what ever historical data is kept in the library file, rebuilding seemed like the best option.
So here is what I found on how to rebuild the Library file, it is pretty easy, but scary to. I have a Time Machine back up of my computer so I felt better knowing that I could just revert back. Before you try this I would make back up copies of "iTunes Library.itl" and "iTunes Music Library.xml" if you aren't backing up your computer already.

Then if you have problems with your PodCasts after.

After all that everything worked like it was suppose to. Happy day and all the peasants rejoiced.
I really wish Apple would address the issue though, I know it's a small detail, but that attention to small details is sometimes what makes Apple so effing cool. Seems like they are starting to let more fall through the cracks.

My findings -- Album art shown in iTunes 7 but not in iPod

Well, after several round of testings, here's my conclusion:
For song in iTunes library, i can change the album art and upload the song to iPod. The album art shows in iPod and stays...however if i decided to change the album art later for the same song by directly dragging the album art to song info box in iPod, the updated album art displays in iTunes BUT not in iPod, in fact NO ALBUM ART is displayed at all...even though how many times i check/uncheck the DISPLAY ALBUM ART box.
The only way to change the album art again is to drag the new album art to the song in my iTunes library and later drag that song again to iPod.
As a summary, it DOES NOT allow me to add or change any album art directy to songs stored in iPod. The only workaround is have the exact copies of songs stored in iTunes library and do auto sync.
For me this is totally not flexible as in order to save hard drive space, i believe most of us will store songs in Ipod and remove them from iTunes library (correct me if i am wrong). And all we can do is wait til the next release of firmware from Apple.........
Hello Apple, r u listening out there!?!?!
BTW, i am using iTunes 7 and iPod 5G 60GB 1.2 firmware.

phewww. Been going crazy, thinking i waas the only one with this problem. It was never a problem with 6.5.
and yes, we all dont save tracks in the media library. i have never even used it
So fix ASAP.

How to get Album art to Stick

I would love to be able to have the album art stay on the display (in the full screen mode) for more than a few seconds.
Does anyone know of a way to do this?
Thanks,
Greg

You might try using one of Dougs apple scripts, to extract the album art from your iTunes library into a folder. Once you have done this you can introduce them as a photo album in the advanced menu of iTunes, and then select them for your screensaver on the Apple TV.

Missing/inconsistent/wrong album art after installing iTunes 10

Ever since I installed iTunes 10, weird things are happening with the album art in my iTunes libraries and across my iPods and iPhone.
Before the update, most of my library had album art -- in fact, I had gone to the trouble of pasting it into the individual songs so that it would be "embedded" in the file.
It's still there in the library, but not on my phone or iPods, random tracks are missing artwork, or display artwork from a different track.
Makes no sense, or at least I haven't been able to figure out what the commonality is with the affected tracks. Anyone else seen this?

If all your music is in iTunes, you could try restoring your iPod, this will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings
Alternatively if your iPod is set to update automatically then try this:
1. Connect your iPod
2. Disable "Show Album art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes. (Disconnecting and then reconnecting your iPod will do the trick)
4. Re-enable "Show Album Art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
5. Syncronise the iPod again.

How can the album-art, which is all in iTunes , suddenly only shows partially on the iPod classic 160 gb?

I'm user of iTunes for years and in possession of 2 iPod classics.
For both iPods I have a specific playlist created, which I sync with iTunes. Each of my nearly 50,000 tracks in iTunes comes with the right Album-art (all 500 x 500 pixels and 72 dpi) andeach track contains also the necessary meta data and is converted to 160 or 192 kbps M4a. In Finder on my MacBook I can see that the M4a files all contain album-art, because the file icons show the album art for each file name! Also in the grid overview of iTunes you can see them all, no exception.
For years that went well. Now, a week ago, I made a new playlist (16,000 tracks) for one of my iPod classics because I wanted a different content! The old playlist I discarded and synchronized the new one. Now it appears that a large number of album-art on the iPod is not shown, nor in cover-flow nor during play-back. I then tried to get my new playlist updated by exported as XML and then imported into iTunes again. In that case all tracks from the list are checked for completeness against the library and after import it should be fine. Unfortunately, it is not the case. Still the album-art is not shown for all tracks/albums on the iPod.
I run iTunes (11.2.2 (3)) on a MacBook Pro at the end of 2009, with the latest OSX version (10.9.3) and with enough disk space and memory.
My iTunes library is on a NAS (Synodisk DS209J II plus) the iPods run on the latest sw version (1.1.2) and are both Apple formatted.
I wonder if this is an iPod error or something wrong with the library. I hope you will understand, that I do not want to lose all the metadata of the 50,000 tracks by rebuilding the library, especially things like: date added, number of times played, rating, comments!
I hope someone can provide me an acceptable solution.
With regards, Sign-X

I'm a bit confused, but I assume you want to shuffle your playlist while you are playing it in iTunes. If this is so, you will actually have to start playing a song before the shuffle button appears, and it appears in the top center panel of your iTunes window. Yeah, I know...

How do i get album art work without itunes account?

How do I add album art not using iTunes

How do I add album art without first importing the songs into iTunes? Is there a program that will do this?

Well, my preferred method is to use a web search engine, restrict it to display artwork, then choose the best. Slow but sure.
Browse the wwww.pure-mac.com web site for free utilities out there. I am sure there are many commercial packages to "clean up" iTunes but frankly I think they are hype.
See if there is something on the Dougscripts web site.
I know I have utilities such as XLD that do it as part of the CD ripping process.

How do I disable detached Album Art window in iTunes 10?

Hello,
In iTunes 9, whenever playing any music with album art, iTunes would not attempt to detach a separate window.
However, new in iTunes 10, every time I play a song that has album artwork, iTunes will automatically detach a small separate popup window that is supposed to show the album artwork for that song (I say "supposed', because the album artwork never shows up in this window; it's always just pitch black), as well as playback controls when you mouse over that detached window.
Also, whenever you try to close this album artwork popup window, song playback also stops! So one is forced to keep it open the entire time iTunes is playing music that happens to have album artwork.
I would like to remove this detached popup window and never have it show up, as it increases clutter with an extra window on my desktop, and most importantly, I did not instruct iTunes to open a separate window in the first place.
I searched iTunes preferences exhaustively and could not find an option to disable this album artwork popup window.
Is there a defaults write com.apple.iTunes command that can disable it? Or some other way to get iTunes to stop always automatically displaying this separate album artwork popup window? (And NO, I don't want to just minimize it).
Thank you.

Do you mean iTunes 10 or 11?
I'm pretty sure this is controlled by the import settings for CDs. Go to "preferences->general",
and click "Import settings" next to the CD line. You can select MP3 or AAC there.

How to get album art from itunes to ipod?

I've already copied songs from my itunes library to my ipod, but when I did that I didn't have any album art. Now that I've got the album art in itunes, what's the best way to get the album art over to my ipdod?

First plugged your ipod, wait until appears on itunes, then click on music label, at the end click on the square that says" Display Album Artwork on your Ipod"...
That it my friend

Album Art Display on iTunes 10

When I saw that iTunes 10 brought back the "Digital Jukebox" browsing mode (that's the one in which the album artwork is shown on the right side of the song list for that album) I was very happy.
But the way it works in iTunes 7 is a mess. The sizes available for the album art are all way too small, and having the album and artist names shown on the right side of the album art is very messy.
I think the sleekest, most convenient display or browsing method iTunes has introduced to date was the iTunes 7 incarnation of the "Digital Jukebox". You can choose what size you want the album art to be, the album and artist info is shown BENEATH the album art, and the design of how it looks is the sleekest yet.
I'm wondering if anybody else misses this display mode and if there's any way to effectively convey to the Apple people that it would be a good idea to bring it back.
It would be grreat if iTunes was a bit more customizable in that sense: choosing colors for icons and having much more power over how your library is displayed.

First, go to View > as List.
Then use the search bar to your advantage. Type the name of the artist for the album at the top right. This will only show the songs pertaining to that artist/album. Then just Ctrl + A and edit multiple items and go from there
Hope that helps.
