Music App Album Art Viewer (in horizontal mode)

Hi,
I wonder if anyone else in the community think the same about the album art cover mosaic when in horizontal mode but it really suck since they remodeled the app.
When rotating the IPhone in the Music App, we use to be able to flip the albums and at that time, the SORT was by ARTIST. Since Apple remodeled the music app (really don't like to have a mosaic of album covers), the SORT has been converted to ALBUM...
Problem is NOBODY remembers all their album names and nobody I know likes the way it is showing at the moment. All albums by a same artist are mixed up in the mosaic when they logically should be regrouped by artist as it uses to be. It is not convenient at all when I want to hear a song from an artist but don't know the album name or song name... Make the search in horizontal mode totally frustrating and useless.
This change in the music app is not an improvement and all my surrounding thinks the same. Is there an option to sort them differently somewhere? Never found it if so.
If you agree to this, please send feedback to apple so we can have the option to sort
album cover art by artists.
Thank you !
Do you prefer this...by album ?
Rather than this...by artist ?

How do i get itunes 11 to display my album art while in list mode like it did in the previous version?

How do i get itunes 11 to display my album art while in list mode like it did in the previous version?

I think the Sidebar preview image is gone. But found that when I'm playing music either from the entire library or a playlist you can click the tiny thumbnail at the top to open a Artwork based player that is scalable. Reduce (minimize) the main Itunes window and the player is actually Nice. Hope that helps.

Music's Album Art Disappeared

Music's album art disappeared. All of it. And I didn't even sync it or update it or anything. This just happened randomly in the middle of my day.
After I synced it to my computer, it disappeared from there too.
So, like, what the f?
And can I get it back somehow? Or do I have to re-look up artwork for 3,000+ songs and re-upload them one by one?

Sounds very weird and talk about unintended results ...
By the by restoring the ipod is not a bid deal (although takes some time).
How about this (have not tried it) and assuming you still have artwork on your music library in itunes. Turn on manual synch mode once the ipod is connected. You should see the list of songs you actually have on the ipod. Delete every song and synch (I know, it will take time since you have 4000 + songs). and then turn back automatic synch and re-synch. May be once in manual mode, you could try re-synchinig only a portion of your library to see if it works That's the best I can think of.

Touch list album song in album art view

I have gotten all of my albums to be catagorized by album artist and album name, except for one. The album artist shows fine(The Eagles) the second line in the album art view is a song (Busy being fabulous) this is the third song on the first disk. The the next line is the ablum name (Long Road Out of Eden (Disk 1). The listing under the album art looks like this:
The Eagles
Busy being fabulous
Long Road Out Of Eden (Disk 1)
How do I get the song name out of there? Disk two of the same album shows perfectly fine with no song name in between. All of my other albums show fine also. When I select all of the songs from the album and go to Get Info the song name shows no where.

See my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topics Use an album friendly view and One album, too many covers. In this case it sounds like you may need to enable the *Group Compilations* option and/or ensure the tracks are marked as Part of a Compilation.

IPad music app: album count incorrect/too large in artist view

Hello,
My problem isn't critical, but it is really annoying. My third generation iPad is showing incorrect album counts for artists under artist view in the Apple music app.
For example, I have just one Coldplay album (Viva La Vida) uploaded to my iPad, but the music app reads the following under the album/artwork in artist view: "10 songs, 15 albums".
I have turned the iPad on and off. I have done a hard reset (by holding home and power button down until iPad shuts off and then tirns on again). I have restored the iPad from a back up through iTunes. I have restored it to factory settings through iTunes and set it up as a new iPad. I have erased the iPad using the iPad "settings/general/reset/erase all contents and settings" option. I have synced the iPad with iTunes and utilized the music tab to replace the music on the iPad. I have uploaded the albums through the iTunes store. I have synced them from my computer.
NONE of these options have worked. They all result in incorrect album counts.
This seems to be a problem which surfaced after I upgraded to iOS6, but I am not sure if that is what caused the issue.
Thanks in advance for any help.

This is some sort of issue with iOS6. There are several threads (and theories) as to why this is happening. But the bottom line is, Apple needs to correct the problem.
One person indicated that the actual number of albums (by a particular artist) in his iTunes Library was the number of albums indicated on the iPad, regardless of the number of albums he chose to sync. In other words, if I have 10 albums by artist "ABC" in my iTunes Library, but chose to sync only 5 of them, the iPad would still indicate 10 albums by "ABC" (because it's looking to the iTunes Library for the album count instead of the number of actual albums that were synched to the iPad). While that theory makes sense, I found it to be somewhat untrue, at least in my case.
What I discovered is, if you rename or make a change to any of the metadata associated with a track from a particular album, then that album is duplicated when you sync, displaying the original album tracks (sans the one or two you changed) under the album name and a second version is created (using the exact same album name) but displaying only the track or tracks you modified. This in turn, increases your album count by one. So instead of showing the entry as just one album, the count now reads two for the same title. To make things even more confusing, if you go back and modify both versions of the album, successully combining the two back into one, so to speak (this can be done by renaming the artist to some other name, synching, then renaming it back to the correct artist), the album will then display correctly (just one "vesrion" showing on the iPad), but the album count remains unchanged (still indicating two). Basically, the count isn't reset, but remains incorrect.
Hopefully, I didn't confuse everyone. But it's difficult to explain. From everything I've read, it appears to be a combination of things; Album count and display, as well as creating additional album "instances" if any tracks are modified.
In any event, I hope they fix it soon. Because if you have a large music library like mine, it takes no time to really screw things up!

No album art in off-line mode with spotify app version 1.0.0.3251

The iOS developer team is aware of the problems with album art.
Hopefully they will be fixed in the next update. Please be patient until then. I know it's annoying to wait so long.

I just upgraded my iphone spotify app to version 1.0.0.3251. With this version album art is not shown when listening in off-line mode. Extremely dissappointing, hoping this is just a bug and will be corrected soon. If not, how can i go back the the previous version of the app? My Iphone is a 3GS running the latest iOS release for that model which is 6.1.6.
[Mod edit - Dec. 8, 2014]
Hello everyone. Spotify 2.1.0 has been released to the App Store as of this morning. We believe this issue to be fixed in this latest version. Please post here to let us know if the problem persists.

Music app - album artwork replaced by image of artist

Music App.....How to stop /prevent the image /photo of the artist being uploaded and presented in the artist view?
BTB: What a disaster the s/w 7.0 Music App is from the old App on my s/w 5.0 version!!!

You can't. You can offer Apple feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Likely from GraceNotes of similar online resource. It is likely not stored in iTunes on the computer at all.

...I wouldn't recognize one Hip Hop Rap artist from another, nor do I have any interest in their photo. I recognise my music by sight of album covers not headshots. When I had a collection of vinyl and CD's, I didn't go sticking photos on the album covers, it was enough to have a little label with their name on it.
And if you are viewing an album, unless the image is not available, you get an album cover. If you are viewing in artist view, then you are not looking at an album. Why would it present an album cover?

IOS Music app: Album and Artist bugs

My iPod touch (5th generation, iOS 7.1.1) has several bugs in its Music app. Here is how I was able to reproduce the bugs.
Go to the Artists view.
Select an artist from an album with multiple artists. (Example album: The Lego Movie; example artist: Will Arnett)
Go to the Albums view.
Select the same album from step 2.
BUG 1: The album only shows the song by that artist. I should see all songs on the album. In addition, the duration of all songs in the album is limited to the song I see, rather than all songs on the album. (When connected to the Internet, "Show Complete Album" appears. [Screenshot] Tapping it invites me to download all of the other songs in the album, which I already have.)
Go to the Artists view.
Select another artist from the same album from step 2. (Example artist 2: Mark Mothersbaugh)
BUG 2: I only see songs by the artist in step 2, rather than songs by the artist I selected. [Screenshot]
Go to the Albums view.
Close and re-start the iOS Music app.
Select the same album from step 2. I see all of the album's songs again.
Go to the Artists view.
Select an artist from the same album as in step 2.
BUG 3: I see the entire album, rather than just the songs by the selected artist. In addition, the artist at the top of the screen is the artist of the first song in the album. [Screenshot]
Can anyone else confirm this bug? Also, what is the best way to report this bug to Apple?

Unfortunately, the 15-minute edit deadline on my original post passed, so I need to make the following correction here:
"Can anyone else confirm this bug? Also, what is the best way to report this bug to Apple?"
should be
"Can anyone else confirm these bugs? Also, what is the best way to report these bugs to Apple?"

New Album Art View slow and stutters.

I have a 128MB video card and 1GB of Ram running about 3.0Ghz
But I still get a problem when using the new album art browser view on iTunes. It's really slow and stutters. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem or could give me a tip in fixing it.

I enabled 'Album Views' and the first 5 seconds or so of most songs are garbled (maybe while the image is loading?). I turn off the view album and the garbling goes away. Having the album artwork available is not as important as having songs that don't stutter or are garbled.

Sync music without album art?

Is it possible to sync my music with my ipod nano without the album art I have in itunes ? The art takes up a lot of room on my ipod.

Likely all the art on your iPod maybe equals 5 songs at most, unless are adding 500 kB artwork to each file yourself.

Album art viewing, is it possible?

Ok, I was wondering if there is any possible way to when your listening to a song, on the older iPod versions (pre classic) you could click the center of the wheel and eventually get to a large image of the album art. I can't do it on my classic. Any possible way to do this?

Itunes hangs after just listening to music with Album Art work turned on.

I have been having issues with iTunes hanging and I have to open up task manager and kill the process. It doesn't Hang my system, only iTunes. I have noticed that the itune's process is taking up about 1.4 GB of memory and that each time it hangs it is around that amount. I have almost 38,000 Songs in my iTunes folder and I have album Art work for all of them. Is there some limitation on the amount of Art work? If I turn off the Art work it will run all day long with no problem.

Not necessarily. I was asking that cause iTunes match will upload album artwork for the first track of a CD and it wont display until after you play the track you want artwork to display for. As far as it not displaying when being synced via iTunes, I am sorry but I don't have any idea.

ITunes Album Art in Screen Saver Mode

Hello,
Most of my 3,000 songs in iTunes have album art associated with them. However, when I set my screensaver to cycle through them, only 1 cycles. Does anyone know how I can get all of them to cycle ?

Not a definite, but perhaps you have a defective preference file. Try Preferential Treatment see if it reports any errors.

IPod Music and Album Art gone haywire after restore/updates/sync

First post !
Since my PC (Win7Pro 64bit) had SP1 installed, iPod Touch (2G) is going nuts. Sent to Apple - latest OS and iTunes (64bit)installed and all OK they said - but now when syncing from iTunes,Album Artwork is gobble-de-gook and some music jumps to next song part way (1/2) through playing. Some tracks have wrong names and some have no artwork at all.
Have restored (as per Apple Cust.Support) and tried to resync but still all over the place. Still under warranty but they found no fault at Service.
Easy to blame M/Soft but every other thing attached works fine (Nokia,Samsung,Logitech, etc.) Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thankyou.

did you ever find a resolution to this? i have almost the same issue on my iPhone. thanks
