Resizing Album Art in Grid Mode

I don't know why they changed this but there used to be a little scroll bar at the bottom of grid mode and you could resize the album art in grid mode. Now it only comes in one size no matter how many albums you have. Is there anyway to change it? Has apple fixed this? Thanks

I have the same issue here.
If i change my display profile in the system preferences to the default, they disappear.
But that can’t be the solution.
Has anybody a clue?

    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.

  • Dark borders around album art in grid view

    Hi everybody,
    since last week my iTunes is displaying strange dark borders around album cover art and iPhone apps icons in grid view (see http://j.imagehost.org/0154/1_21.jpg). I am using the dark background theme. I already tried restarting iTunes and the computer several times and deleting the iTune album artwork cache.
    Does anybody have an idea what else I could try to remove these ugly borders?
    Thanks in advance

  • 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 dimensions?

    What are the ideal dimensions of iTunes album art?
    After hours of searching, I'm still convinced someone in the world must know the ideal dimensions of album art is. After all, someone designed the app.
    I'm sure when I first began publishing a video podcast, I spent hours of trail and error getting artwork the proper WxH dimensions, as well as the ideal size. I resolved it was 640x480. But with a newer version of iTunes, all the album art I created is smaller than all the other album art in my collection.
    What I really want to know:
    1. What are the ideal WxH dimensions?
    2. What is the ideal size?
    3. Does iTunes resize album art when added?
    4. Does iTunes scale the display of album art? (It seems it does.)
    5. Why won't Apple share this info to preserve the sanity of podcast publishers, at least?
    6. How many man-years were wasted by people trying to figure it out?
    (My searches suggest decades.)

    I did find this at http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcastingfaq.html
    +Why do I need cover art?+
    +Attractive and interesting cover art attracts new subscribers to your podcast. Podcasts must have good cover art to be featured on the Podcast main page or the Store main page. Most good podcast images include an image as well as a title, brand, or source name. A 300x300-pixel JPG is the recommended size and format. Using this relatively large format, the iTunes Store automatically generates the various smaller images you see in the podcast directory. Before you settle on the art for your podcast, you may want to review the Top Podcasts page and note the various elements that contribute to compelling art.+
    Hope this helps.

  • Missing album art work in cover flow mode

    why would i have a missing album in cover flow mode on my ipod classic, but be able to see the same album in itune on my computer. it does shows up under artist catagory, just not cover flow. i have deleted the art work and re copied it, re synced and restarted and still no album cover. also, not marked as a compliaction either. thoughts?
    thx

    *Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
    iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exists in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
    *How to find tracks without artwork*
    To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant jpeg images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
    I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough.

  • Album art shown in grid view

    In the new grid view which shows the album art for artists, is there a way to set the image shown for the artist, like you press space to choose the picture shown in iPhoto?
    It's annoying at the moment becasue I use it in artist mode but some artists with more than one album show the image for a compilation that they are on rather than one of their albums. Eg, under Coldplay, the artwork shown is a Now album, rather than say Viva la vida. Can I change the album shown as the main image?
    Thanks

    Ok, I've been playing around with iTunes 8 and have found the answer myself. If when in Grid view with more than the one album for the artist, show the album art required and right click and choose Set Default Album Artwork and it will change it to this. Alternatively choose Get Info whilst on the grid view and it will allow you to paste an artwork in here which it will use as a default.
    Hope this helps anyone else wanting to do a similar thing!

  • Album Art Does Not Resize in Album Art Panel

    For some reason some of my album art does not fill up or resize when I resize the album art panel (the lower left hand side of itunes). This happens only with some, not all, of my art. Some additional background:
    - No problem with album art in cover flow or grid views
    - album art was embedded in file by another program (not itunes)
    - Occurs in itunes 7 and itunes 8
    - for the album art that is a problem, the art does not fill in the album art panel and therefore when i resize the panel, it just stays the same size.

    I still don't understand why it would scale in the other views (cover flow and list view)
    Who knows? The artwork preview panel pre-dates Cover Flow, so when Cover Flow was intoduced and made to scale art up as well as down, perhaps nobody considered revisiting the code for the artwork panel to make it work the same way. However, I find the existing behaviour quite handy for spotting when I have images that are too small, since these generally don't scale well. I have my artwork panel set to fit my minimum acceptable size of 200x200 pixels so if I ever notice a white border I know to try and find better quality art.

  • Album Art Resizing Itself In Coverflow

    The majority of my album art is 600x600, but some is rectangular (e.g., 600 wide x 540 tall). This afternoon, I noticed that some, but not all, of this rectangular artwork is being resized when iTunes is in coverflow view: the height of some of the album covers that appear in coverflow are being stretched so that they appear as square rather than rectangular.
    The same art is also distorted when I view art in the artwork column and in grid view.
    However, the proportions of the affected artwork is correct when viewed with
    • iTunes' artwork viewer (in the lower lefthand corner)
    • on my second generation iPod nano
    • on my iPhone 3G's iPod app (in coverflow and otherwise)
    • in the Remote app
    • and, if I open one of the album covers and view it in its own window, it appears in the correct dimensions.
    The artwork also looks correct in the summary tab and the artwork tab when I "Get Info." If I copy one of the affected album covers and open it with Preview, its dimensions will be correct.
    I can discern no pattern as to which images are being resized. Some art images I have scanned myself and some I have downloaded.
    I have no idea what might have triggered this.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    This is an addendum to my original post, including a cumbersome "fix," and a working hypothesis as to the root of the problem.
    (In my original post, I had neglected to update my signature to note that my current OS is 10.6.4.)
    Last night, I extracted the artwork of the nonstandard covers (I'll call "standard" artwork that which is 600x600, as well as other art of that 1:1 ratio).
    Assuming that the width of all the nonstandard artwork was 600 pixels, the affected artwork was that which was 540 high and higher. Nonstandard artwork that still appears normally is 539 and shorter. The 600/540+ (bad) vs. 600/539- (good) appears to be a ratio that affects artwork of smaller sizes as well. For example, a file that was 467 pixels in width that was "too high" (420) would also be affected. (I have some artwork that is smaller than 600 pixels, but none is larger, so while I assume larger images will be affected, I don't know for certain.)
    When I extracted a 600x540 file and resized (or rescaled) it to 600x539 and then embedded the new art, coverflow displayed the artwork correctly. I have done this for all the affected artwork and this has "fixed" the problem.
    (I've read that a number of people are currently having problems adding artwork so, for the record, I copy an image open in Preview and, then, in iTunes, I "get info" for the files to which I want to add artwork and then paste the artwork into the artwork box seen in the "Multiple Item Information" window.)
    However, this only fixed the problem for view in coverflow. It did not fix the grid view. Those files were still being stretched until I "jiggled" the size of album covers in grid view. I slid the sizing bar back and forth, to make the albums first larger and then smaller, and then I eased the size back to its original position (in my case, as large as the grid view will render four albums in one row before they become three to a row). So, no kidding, once I shook iTunes, grid view worked again.
    Armed with this information, I sat down with a similar system (my wife's), another 13" Macbook running 10.6.4 and iTunes 9.2.1, and I attempted to replicate the problem; her iTunes library is unique but contains some of the same music files with the same artwork that had appeared distorted on my system. Two careful examinations of the music library had not shown any distortion to this system's extant artwork but, when I added nonstandard artwork of the problematic ratio (and files that had said artwork) I saw the same problem on my wife's computer that I seen on mine.
    I can offer the following additional information:
    12 May 2010 is the last known date on which I embedded a file with "problematic" artwork that displayed said artwork properly in coverflow.
    On 26 July, I extracted a nonstandard artwork image, touched it up, and embedded that "airbrushed" art into the music files. This is the album cover that I first noticed to be stretched. However, while I noticed it yesterday afternoon, I do not recall noticing it on the morning of the 26th, when the new artwork was added. (And this does not necessarily mean anything; I may have been inattentive.)
    While wrangling with that album cover yeterday and trying to get it to display properly, I did not notice a problem with any other album cover (but I did not look methodically). After wrestling with that album and failing, I quit iTunes, tossed the album art cache in the trash, and rebuilt. It was at that point at which I noticed distorted artwork en masse.
    I am open to other ideas, but my working hypothesis is that, at some point in time, within the last week or the past two months, iTunes (by which I mean the most current version of iTunes on a Macbook running the most current version of Snow Leopard) has become incapable of caching these nonstandard images. The extant thumbnails of the "problem covers" were fine, but once I tossed them into the trash and iTunes needed to reconstruct them, mayhem ensued.
    Even though I have hit upon a workaround for our computers and will avoid adding problematic art to our iTunes libraries, I'd still be curious to know what's behind the problem and if there is an easier fix than the one I found, which is not a fix inasmuch as it's the "don't move your arm like that" when your arm hurts solution.
    For what it's worth and thanks in advance,
    N.

  • 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.

  • 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. 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.

  • 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.
