New Feature to Me: Ability to Enlarge Album Art on Screen

I own the ORIGINAL iPod. I bought the Nano and have noticed something that is NEW to me, but you may all know about.
I noticed how small the Nano screen is. Album Art is really small. I was listening to a Inside Mac Radio Podcast. Many podcasts now have logo artwork. Some are enhanced and have chapter marks (when you hit right fast fwd arrows, it goes to the next chapter within the podcast, rather than the next song on the playlist). Some have artwork for each chapter. Some photo podcasts have sample photos.
Well, it's really hard to see them. BUT, if you push the center button twice (first time becomes the fast fwd tool), if there is art, it takes over the entire screen and you can see it easily.
As more and more podcasts start to contain artwork and photos, this feature is very meaningful because you can now make those small images large.
Sorry if this is OLD STUFF to you. But, it was so nice that I had to share it with newbies, like me.
Enjoy.
PS: I love the Nano. It DOES scratch. So, cut a piece of the sticky plastic covering that came with it and put it on the screen until a good cover (with plastic over the screen) comes out.

Why this new version of iTunes doesn't have Album Art or It didn't show up?

Why this new version of iTunes doesn't have Album Art or It didn't show up?
Also, in my iPod Touch 4th, it erase all album art from my iPod, then i tried to put again a new Album Art, ...download again from the image sites and still ...it didn't show up.? What a waste!
I waste all my time to set all album art on my iPod, then it just gone. kindly pls fix this issue. hate this new version of iTunes, so complicated.
The first thing i saw after i install new version of iTunes, it showed only music files. I don't know where to look for the old version of Sidebar. I keep on trying to look for it where I can see or any sign off button just to show up this stupid SideBar. Also, why i couldn't find? The "Menu Bar" is also hide!
Until i found out in "View" tab. Then i saw the Show Sidebar. Question? why do you need to hide that Side Bar? For what?. it is so so so complicated specially to those people who can't relate for this. (Also the button (from previous iTunes) to show the Album Art, now it's gone. I check every Tab, but there's no way to see the Album Art.)
Another comment. I download also some of my songs to my iPod, I wasted my time to collect all of my favorite music files. Also some are came from CD's and friends. I had all that favorite music in my iPod. Then the version iOS 5.+ came then I updated my iPod, another options to save files (iCloud) but I think there are something that I MISS about updating my iPod. Then suddenly I checked my iPod... all music (with Album Arts) are gone. All Apps are Gone. Videos as well.
If you don't know how to use that iCloud (with only 5GB storage), you'll gonna miss/lost everything.
Then I start all over again, i still have my BACK UP, good to have that. Now it's all set until I update the latest iOS 6. And another version of iTunes.
Then I realized my computer getting slow. I uninstalled it. My laptop started to work fast again. Then I download again the iTunes. So now I know, it has the ability to slow my computer. Everytime I turn on my iTunes, it hang. (Not Responding). Solution... CTRL+ALT+DELETE. Then every second time to open the iTunes, and it works. (it means, to open iTunes, need twice)
Then suddenly my laptop is not working. All my files has been corrupted. My Hard drive doesn't work properly. Now I don't have any stupid BACK UPs. My music files usage is 18 GB, only contacts, documents, notes, or some other files that can only fit to your "iCloud" not my 18GB music files and other photos. Your solution is to BUY more storage. Another COST! Another wasting time to set everything then need to pay more?
If you let your unit (iPod,iPhone,iPad) to export music to PC, or any mini SDcard to use as storage, it won't happen.
There is another....
It has Bluetooth, right?
Use less! Doesn't work. There's no way to use it.
All I need is to install an application to use your bluetooth. (for same unit or Apple unit only). And pictures only can send via Bluetooth if you an application.
Even if you go to "Photos" check if there's a way to send pictures? there is no way to send via Bluetooth, even Photos, Songs.etc. It can't even share some other friends (even they have own iPad, iPod, iPhone or same products) who has a unit with Bluetooth.
And the last.. only one port. there's no way to watch videos through HDMI. No HDMI port, no SD or any card slot. Must to buy their products.
Very costly!
I know (like iPod) it's very friendly to use it, but you must spend more money first before it can use.

Yes, the old album art view is gone, bu you can see the album art for a song that's playing by clicking on the art image and it will open a bigger view.
Everything else in your post is a waste. I'm not going to spend time reading it. If - and I repeat if, you have a question on how to get the best out of the new look iTunes, post it. But don't spend your time in long rambling negative rants.

On the new ipod touch, is there a way to enlarge album art to fill the whole screen?

Hi there,
For Christmas I was given a new ipod touch (long story short my old one I put through the wash by mistake ) and this new one is great but when I listen to a song on the new itouch the album art does not fill the whole screen like my old itouch, this is a small detail I know but I loved that feature so much and I was hoping there was a setting I could activate/change which allows this on the new itouch.
At the moment on the new itouch the album art is small and centered towards the top of the screen while the function icons are below the image while on the last one the album art filled the whole screen and the function icons where over the picture at the bottom and didn't stand out as much as it does now.
I have drawn a very rough MSpaint diagram explaining what I mean lol.....
[i tried using the insert image feature but got a javascript error so using external site to upload pic]
http://s28.postimg.org/aovrsuewt/itouch_something_like_this.jpg
Anyway my question is, is there a way to have the album art fill the whole screen with the new itouch?

Just sync them to the iPod. See:
iTunes: Syncing photos
They will not go to the camera roll album but to a new album

HT3798 On iPod 160gb - how can I view album art full screen like in the menu half screen or photo slideshows?

I remember responding to an apple customer satisfaction survey in 2009, when I purchased my iPod Classic. I suggested it should be possible to have album art viewed in full screen like in photo slideshows or how album art is presented on half the screen when the menu is navigated to the 'music' list. Does anyone know if apple has created an iPod Classic software update which includes this glaring omission?

The progress bar is not the iPod disconnecting from the PC but rather the iPod reading in the library database from it's hard drive. It's safe to disconnect when told to.

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.

Itunes 12 - can't delete podcast album art in new get info dialogue

In iTunes 12, the new "Get Info" dialogue box has an album art. There is a button at the bottom to add new artwork, but I don't see a way to remove artwork (in the case of wrong or duplicate artwork).

Hey ralf.haring,
Thanks for the question. To remove artwork from a selected item, simply select the artwork in the “Get Info” screen and tap the delete or backspace button. For more information on Artwork in iTunes 12, check out the following resource:

Missing Album Art & Migrating To New Computer

I have an iPod mini (soon to be replaced by an iPod Classic) which I have set up on my 'old' XP laptop. In preparation for this new iPod I have added all my albums (previously ripped... all 36gb of them) to iTunes on my 'new' Vista laptop. These were ripped with Musicmatch (my older music) and in Windows Media Player (my newer music) with the vast majority having album art. With the addition of album art and coverflow to the iPod I am keen to get album art for ALL my mp3s. Unfortunately iTunes fails to recognise album art that has already been attached, insisting to use it's own... this in itself would be fine apart from the fact it will not find album art for most of my albums, even the ones that have art in Windows Media Player.
I have also followed the instructions for transferring all my ratings and playlists, however nothing has appeared in my new iTunes. Since buying my new laptop, my mp3 music collection has more than doubled and as iTunes and Vista weren't originally compatable, there was some time before I could install it. Adding these files to my iTunes library was easy enough but I still can't find a way to transfer my ratings & playlists. I have chosen to keep all my music on a dedicated external drive, could it be this change that is stopping my ratings etc being added?
Please, can someone help, If I have to start my ratings from scratch I will be rating forever!!!

ITunes moved to new HDD - Playlist missing, album art on different drive, etc

OKay... so I had everything on an external HDD. I wanted to move everyhing to a new external HDD. I have playlists, album art that I downloaded and added, etc. In the past I have moved from my local HDD to an external without a hitch. This time was a disaster!
I had everything on drive G:\
I wanted to move everything to drive Z:\
I initially ended up with duplicates pointing to the same file on G:\
I deleted all the duplicates and retained the original file. All was okay at this point.
I then created a new folder in Z:\ called iTunes and pointed iTunes to this location. I then used the Consolidate Library function.
Now, I have my media on Z:\ but it seems now my library database, and album art folders are in C:\user\username\Music\iTunes
I never had anything in this location.... why is it suddenly here? and how can I get everything back?
The database files are definitely pointing to Z:\ as I can see from the XML file <key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Z:/iTunes/Music/Ac.....
Otherwise, how do I point everything back to my G:\ and startover? Perhaps provide a link to a resource that will give me good instructions on what to do...
Thanks in advance for the help!

Visionplace, i have the issue where my ipad2 changes/edits to my current playlists are NOT synced up with my itunes 11 on my computer (Windows 7). I have icloud and Itunes Match is turned on. My settings are to auto-sync and i have ALL my music set to be synced, not just select playlists. (Note I have not tested whether new playlists will appear because i usually just edit my existing ones).
So whenever i make playlist changes on my ipad2 (e.g., add or delete songs), i see the changes correctly on my iphone 4, and my Apple TV within 15 minutes without taking any steps, but they do NOT appear on my itunes 11 on my computer (Windows 7). The only way i have found to get the ipad2 playlist edits onto my itunes on my computer is to sync my iphone4 up with the computer. (My ipad changes are already on the iphone 4 automatically). My computer's itunes 11 CAN see the playlist edits i have made on the iphone4 (immediately), but not the ipad. It *****, but it works for me.
For new music purchases (from itunes store) on my ipad2, the only way i can see them on my itunes 11 on the computer is to go to the store, and download them again. Otherwise, they will not appear.
Note - in another forum when i was researching this ipad sync issue, someone had stated that the ipad/computer sync is one way. (I.e., from computer-to-ipad only). If true, that would explain why the ipad edits and new music purchases dont show up in my computer itunes. However, the iphone sync must be two ways.

Zoomed Album Art

Anybody else miss the ability to see a larger version of the album art with the new nano?
With previous iPods you could click the center button on a track and cycle through the volume, scrubber, album art, lyrics and ratings. The nano g3 cycles through volume, scrubber, ratings, shuffle, and lyrics. All show the full track layout except the lyrics which are displayed full-screen. It'd be nice to be able to see the album art full-screen as part of the cycle, unfortunately it's not the way they implemented it. It'd also be nice if there was more than one image in the album art, that you could cycle through all the images.
Does anyone else think it'd be useful to see larger album art in the cycle?

It's the first thing I tried to do in the new software of the nano and Classic. I couldn't believe that feature was gone. Especially when the album as shown in the main ID screen is no longer full face view but 'skewed' as in AppleTV. How do we get a plain large album cover image?

Small and big album art not matching

I bought an 5G iPod only ten days or so ago, and I have recently finished to transfer all my song database.
I'm seeing something strange happens with the album art. Sometimes I take a look on the screen, and it correctly displays the song info: artist, album, song title and also the small album pic are OK. But when I push the central button to see the enlarged album art, sometimes the album picture I see belongs to a different artist or album that I also have in my library. It also happens the other way around, i.e, if I display the big album pic and then I switch to the artist/title screen.
Does anyone know how can I fix this and why does it happen?
Thanks in advance
Edit: I have just seen that sometimes the work art displayed is plain wrong in both small and big sizes. I have checked on ITunes and the album art is looks fine there, though. Is it possible that something went wrong during my last iPod-iTunes sync?

yeah mine too, and i've tried re-setting it, and wiping it and re-sync ing etc,
still seems to do the same, and is generally rally annoying seeing how it is such a relatively useless feature, it would be nice if it at least worked...!
any ideas..?

Changing album art in iTunes 11?

Okay. Not going to sit here and complain about the many things that are wrong with iTunes 11...but the BIGGEST issue for me is that sometimes I download new music and want to change the album art. BEFORE, in iTunes 10 and prior, I could just select all the songs and then I could browse the internet for the image/album art I wanted, and just drag the image from the internet page over into the "album preview" area on the lower left of iTunes, and all the songs I wanted to have new art would. Easy.
Now this feature is gone! How the heck do I change album art now? Especially when things are not all from the same artist/album and just a mix?

Ok, I had the same problem I've found where it is;
To update/change/add artwork to an album WITHOUT having to manually copy the art file to every song in an album you have to select all the songs in the album, like the old way, then cmd+I or get info and the normal 'limited' pop up box for multiple items appears. On the right (of the 'info' tab) is an album artwork box which you can drag images to in the same way as you could to the album art preview in the bottom left.
This had me very frustrated, but thankfully its still there, just an extra pair of clicks away. Not great for updating loads of albums quickly in a swift workflow but at least you can still add artwork to multiple items!

Error -60 and No Album Art

So I bought a new cd and burned it to iTunes. (for some reason the track info didn't come up either, but that's not my problem) I started syncing my iPod and it came up saying iPod cannot be synced error -60. I've looked through the forums and saw that supposedly a song is corrupted. Well I only had another album on my iPod since I last synced my iPod so I deleted that album and the one I just burned. I also noticed with the 2 albums I put on my iPod the song will play 2-5 seconds and skip songs. I saw the song that wouldn't sync and created an AAC (or ACC I forgot which it is) and resynced it. Yet another song wouldn't sync. Now these songs that are apparently "corrupt" I've had on my iPod for a long time. I don't know what's up.
I put the cd I burned on my iPod again and it synced, but there's no album artwork. I have it on iTunes, but it's not showing up on the iPod. I tried "get album artwork" (and it found it) and also getting it off the Internet. Neither works.
Also for some reason I can't eject my iPod. It says files are being used, even though iTunes is the only program running. So I have to go into my computer and it still takes 3 tries to eject it. This only started happening 3 days ago, and it's really getting on my nerves.
So here are my questions:
1. Error -60, how can that be fixed
2. Why is my iPod only playing 2-5 seconds in a song and then skipping
3. Why is the album artwork showing in iTunes, but not on my iPod ( This is only for the 2 new albums I've put on my iPod, the rest of the songs still have their artwork)
4. Why can't I eject my iPod without it saying it's in use.
All these problems only started 3 days ago when I synced my iPod for the first time in about a week. Oh btw please don't tell me to restore my iPod, I have over 8,000 songs.
Any help?

I had the same issue and came to the boards for help. Sure enough a simple reboot of the phone did the trick.
As for songs cueing up at the end or in the middle; I've had that same issue but haven't had it for a couple weeks.
I'm hoping that it's been resolved but one thing to try if you haven't already is to remove all playlists and songs then re-sync (a reboot in between might help; I didn't do that but it certainly can't hurt).
Anyway, rebooting your iPhone should fix the album art lock screen issue.
Good luck.

Album Art Missing/Not Showing Up...Among Other Things

Recently my new Q10 has decided to stop showing album art randomly - I say randomly as art work that used to show has now suddenly gone either black or now shows the default blue note art. I am practically OCD about my mp3 tags and while 3 different tagging programs say I have the correct art, my Q10 says otherwise.
And it's not just music per-say: I have recently come to the conclusion that there are no useful podcast apps yet out - I've tried about 4 "native" apps (or at least available in the app world store) and 5 different side loaded apps that claim to allow a user to manually add podcast episodes to the podcast folder as mp3s...another rant for another thread but those mp3 are also missing their respective art and one that I deleted ages ago (as it was corrupted) is STILL in my library and refuses to be deleted.
This all started after the update to 273 (no sign of anything after that)
I've tried rebooting my phone after removing the sd card, I've tried removing it from the music menu, the file is not on my phone so why is my library still showing it - even after it says the file no longer exists!?!?!?
Sorry to go on a rant/tangent but I actually really love my new Q10 but I HATE these niggling issues that seem to crop up like mushrooms everytime I try to do something, has anyone else had similar issues? Have they been fixed with the most recent update? Anyone else on O2 in the UK who actually has the update?
Sometimes I really hate technology....
Slàinte.
Not all things are good.
Not all things are evil.
But with an open mind...
You can see the difference.
Knowledge is power.

Songs Won't Play, Album Art Not Modifiable, ID3 Tags, Need Help

I have a 32 GB iPod Touch, Windows Vista, the latest version of iTunes and Quicktime as well as the latest iPod software.
I noticed the other day that a bunch of my songs were missing album art. I have a library with almost 7,000 songs and I have album art for everything. I went to the songs to attempt to fix the album art and noticed that it said, Album Art Not Modifiable, in the Album Art preview screen. I thought that was weird and it wouldn't let me add new album art to these albums.
I also noticed that none of these songs would play. They wouldn't play on my iPod or on iTunes. You can click play and it looks like it's going to play, but the counter never leaves "0".
I thought something was wrong with my files and that I would have to re rip or download the songs. However, by chance I opened one of the songs in Window Media Player and it worked, so I knew the files were fine.
I did a search online and found several people with the same problem and a few things to try. But nothing worked until I stumbled upon a solution of setting the ID3 tags to version "None", then setting them to version 2.4. I tried it and it worked.
But now it keeps happening, I get a new group of albums every day that won't play.
Can anyone tell me what is causing this?
How do I prevent it?
Do I really need to take every song in my library and change the ID3 tags, that could take forever?
Could anyone please help and shed some light on this.
Thank You

Thanks for replying, Please read our Operating System details before taking a guess about what 'could' be the problem...
I think I figured it out anyway, Windows Media Player might be adding extra information that iTunes does not like, either Windows Media Player and/or iTunes 7.7.1 don't conform to ID3 v2.4 standards...
Please fix your software, Apple. I know how you love to be unique and mock PC users with your one-sided advertisements but at least conform to the ID3 standards.

Transfering album art

Hey. I got a new laptop and moved my itunes folder from my old computer to the new one. they are both windows xp. the music works on the new computer, but the thing is, the album art did not seem to transfer. the folder transfered fine, but album art shows blank when playing songs. all the album art i have, i manually added by copying from sources and pasting into the "info" section of each music file.
any suggestions on how to successfully transfer album art with the music? thanks

After much research, I have found out that iTunes 7 does not write the album art to the id3 tag of the song. So basically what I had to do was go through each album, highlight the songs for that album, view info, and copy the album art into the field in the info tag. Then iTunes forces the write to the id3 tag.
Really wish they would change that so that when album artwork is downloaded or added, it was added to the id3 tag automatically. Hopefully in the future.
