Slideshow for "Now Playing" (suggestion for multiple artwork in one song)

As some may know, you can put more than one album art (picture) in a song. When it's done, the "Now Playing" window, which usually showcases the artwork of the song playing, would have a small right/left arrow beside it. When pressed, you switch to a new artwork.
However with the recent updates on iTunes, that arrow button's disappeared. Now it's as pointless as ever to put multiple pictures. My purpose with this feature is to put album covers and the single artwork together, only if they are the first tracks of whichever album. (Yes, I like to stare at the album covers while listening to music).
IDEA - Why not have the "Now playing" window fade between pictures like a slideshow? So for example, Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger" album's 1st track "Mr. Know It All", a single that bears its own artwork. Putting the album and single cover in the song while playing, they'd alternate between pictures every 5 seconds.
I just think that if you can put more than one picture in a song, might as well make use of it. There are a lot of albums that have singles as track no.1. Some have a great single artwork but can't be shown because it needs the album cover. This would make a great compromise. It might even be more neat to put a real life picture of you or someone or a place you know because the song reminds you of .
What do you guys think?

hi
I agree - and was glad to see this post and intend to search for more. I vaguely recall some kind of multimedia artwork to replace and extend the idea of the printed album cover being talked about. Was that a standalone package one bought?
Animating covers and album info - some albums I have eg one I just put in itunes - has 87 pages of info - and one track is 70 minutes long. I would like to read that info as it plays (without starting up several other programmes and searching for the docs!)
It is a multimedia environment so why not have an interactive 'now playing' window that plays related videos - pdfs - as well as stills or EVEN! that can actively search (say google images? or tagged info from wherever) for related pictorial content or other info. I have tried dragging pdfs into the artwork box but it wants the pdfs pages made into jpgs first and separated - altho they can ALL be added at once.
Maybe theres already a script to do this stuff?
Sorry to over extend that idea! But really its quite stupid at present not even to be able to see the other stuff one has put in the artwork box - and it even took a while to guess it could be used (as simple as drag and drop..)
I had no idea the 'now playing' window had buttons - where have they gone!

Extremely HOT for just play game for 10 minutes

The BB Curve 9360 was extremely HOT for just play game for 10 minutes!!!!!!! The battery bar drop extremely FAST.
Really best CHEAT products from RIM on HOT and FAST!!!!!!!!
Customers SUCKS!!!!!!!!
EDIT: Subject Title edited to reflect new topic.

That would be why. The 13inch MBP has integrated graphics meaning the one processor is doing the power of the CPU and the GPU. This causes the system to heat up fast causing the fan to kick in. This is nomal with the 13inch. The best thing you can do is by a cooling pad to help out a little.

When I choose an album to play in my itunes library, only one song will play and then itunes stops. Also, when I click on next, itunes just stops playing.

When I choose an album to play in my itunes library, only one song plays and then itunes stops. Also, when I click on the next button, itunes stops. How can I play an entire album through without stopping after each song?

Sounds like you have accidentally unchecked all items. In the Songs view ctrl-click on any empty checkbox.

Developers- How about a Visualizer mode/setting(s) for "NOW PLAYING" artwork.

Jacket Junkies, like myself, would love it. (Yes, I know about Album Art Screensaver.) Thanks.

I have a little related question about a bug I've got. Would you have any ideas about this?
I've got a bit of a problem with the Now Playing window that should pop open and act as a player-window, with the artwork of the song filling the space. This function was working for me but it's now stopped. When I click on the Now Playing image it tries to open, adding a tab to the task bar, but then I can't expand the window. This has happened before and then righted itself but there must be some reason why it stops. I've recently been updating a lot of song artworks. This could be related. Is this an iTunes bug or is the fault with my computer? Any fixes that you would know of?

Large "Now Playing" Art for Radio on MacBook Pro?

On my iPad, iTunes radio goes right to a large "now playing-style" screen once a channel is selected, where it shows the art of the album playing, centered and large.
Can't seem to make this happen on my new MacBook Pro. Am I overlooking an easy preference or view setting?

After several more tests I’ve arrived at a solution.
There seems to be a random element in Boot Camp’s installation process that creates an IRQ resource conflict in Windows. The BSOD I was getting indicated that “IRQL not less than or equal to” and a BCM.sys file was responsible for the conflict. This file is related to the Broadcom Ethernet driver.
Reverting back to Boot Camp 2.1 actually made Counter Strike crash even sooner, but suggested to me that Boot Camp drivers were responsible. I performed a complete uninstall and reinstalled to Boot Camp 3.0. Hours of game play later and no crashes or BSOD.
If a complete uninstall and reinstall doesn’t fix it for you the first time, try it again. I think it just has to “randomly” assign the IRQ correctly. Manually assigning the IRQ probably won’t work as Windows apparently cannot detect the conflicts until it fails.
Direct X 10 is not responsible for the problem. I tested this by running CSS in 9.0c mode via an advanced start command and it still crashed. Oh, and I also discovered that Direct X 10 is integrated into Vista and cannot be uninstalled or rolled back.

Album art shows only for Now Playing, not Selected

Don't know if this is an iTunes problem or an iPod connection issue. I just reformatted my computer and installed the latest iTunes version. Since there's no music on my harddrive yet, I'm playing my iPod Classic from the computer. The album art is behaving oddly - it only shows in the lower corner display for the Now Playing track. If I click on another track, the Selected art box says Drag Artwork Here, and yet when I go to the file info, the art is there. This happens even for a song I played earlier - if it's not the currently playing song, even if it's on the same album, the art doesn't display. It's the same whether it's an album bought from the iTunes store, from another vendor, or ripped from a CD. Obviously the art is still there, but why isn't it displaying like it did before the reinstall?
(As a side note, if I play the iPod separately from the computer, the art displays just fine.)

nvm, I called apple and fixed it! Thanx!!!!

Templates for pages any suggestions for best app around??

I am looking for the best app for additional templates for Pages for my Mac Computer. I have looked at many different apps but some are really expensive & others are free. Some have no customer rates and some have terrible rates. Does anyone know of any reasonably priced???

That is so specific, just google it and use any Word template you find.

Viewing multiple Artwork in a song

i put 2 or 3 picture artwork for one song and synced to ipod, but it still only shows the first picture. how can i view the mulitple artwork on the ipod?

With iTunes from version 7 onwards, when you connect the iPod the summary screen should automatically open.
If you click on the 'music' tab, you will see the options to:
"display album artwork on your iPod". Make sure that is enabled.
There are various methods of adding artwork to your songs and albums.
If you have an iTunes store account, you can use the "get album artwork" option in iTunes. You don't actually need to purchase anything from the iTunes store, just to have or create an account. Provided that the album or song for which you are looking to add artwork is available for sale in the store, iTunes will find it and add it to your library.
If you go to preferences/general in iTunes and check the box marked "automatically download missing album artwork", it will automatically add the artwork when you import a CD into iTunes.
You must have the album or song tagged in your iTunes library correctly or it may not be found. For instance, even a missing "The" before the artists name can throw up anomalies. iTunes will check each song in your iTunes library and attempt to match it up with a song in the iTunes Store. If the data matches, iTunes will download the album artwork from the iTunes Store and add it to the song in your iTunes library.
If you don't have an account or don't want to create one, here are a couple of other methods.
Highlight a song or album in iTunes, then right click on it and select the "get album artwork" option.  Go to Google Image Search and type in the artist/album name and click on search images.   Double click on a picture you like, then at the top of that page click on "see full size image".   When you get that image, simply copy/paste it into the space for album artwork in iTunes.   Make sure you select the album in the browser of iTunes before you copy/paste.  
In the unlikely event that Google can’t find an image, you can also get artwork from Amazon.
If you’re happy using images from Amazon, and don’t want to copy/paste, then iTunes Art Importer is a free program to do it for you.

Can't play via midi keyboard - but only one song!

I am using logic 7 now for over a year. all my songs are ok.
but there is one single one on which I can't play keyboard notes on the
software instruments. it seems all midi events do not arrive at the song.
the transport window doesn't show any events. in the environment,
if I go to the "Input View" layer, I can see midi notes being received!!!!
but somewhere on the way they get lost.
that's strange as for all the other songs there's no problem at all.
so it must be something song specific. any ideas?
the input filter check boxes in the midi settings are not checked, btw.
thanks for any help, really appreciated, as it drives me nuts, I'd like to
finish that song...

You say this affects Audio Instruments; does that mean that if you use external devices, they play back okay?
If the note events are being received in the Environment, then it sounds like either they are then being routed away from the track you intended, or they are being muted.
First check for muted tracks, & then for soloed tracks (since these will mute all the others). Make sure you can see all the tracks & busses when you look!
Next, look at the input object which is receiving MIDI & see where it is routed. Unless it is routed to the track you want, you won't get the result you need. You can try switching it to another Audio Instrument to see if that makes a difference.
Also check inserts, in case you are (e.g.) gating the input!
I assume playback of previously-recorded tracks is not affected?
Do regions get created when you record (even though you can't hear anything), & if so, can you see note events when you inspect them in the editors?

How can i play a whole album rather than one song at a time

I have just purchased a ipod Nano 6th generation to use whilst cycling. I've tried it out indoors and it only seems to play one song at a time I would like to listen to an album or play list without stopping. how do I do this??????

Does this involve iPhoto in some way?

'Add to now playing' equivilant for QT Player 7?

Hi all.
Suppose I have a few mp3s or videos I'd like to open with Quicktime, I rubber band select and open them all and get multiple instances of the player on my screen, this is fine but not always what I want.
Is there a way to que the videos up instead, so that when one finishes I can watch the next one immediately after within the same window, retaining av settings such as brightness or playback speed between the 'playlist' videos?

Automater has a "Play Movies" action. You could save it as an application and then just drag a folder of QuickTime files onto it.
A/V settings are file by file.

How do i copy several tracks at the same time in Logic Pro or is there a way to set multiple loops in one song?

For example in an AABA song format, do I have to record the 3 As and then do another to fade out and end? Seems like it would be much easier to create the part once and tell LP how many times and when to repeat each part. HELP!!

Do you have to copy each track separately? It would be much easier if I could select all the tracks together for copying/pasting.
You cannot select multiple tracks in LP9, but you CAN select multiple regions. Use Shift-Click to select the parts on the tracks you want to copy, then hold the "option" key and drag them to the new position. This will create a copy at the new position.
Let's say you have tracks for piano, drums and bass. In the arrange window, click on the 8-bar "A" part for piano. Hold shift key and click on the drums region then again for the bass region. All three will be selected. Now hold the option key and drag all three sections to the right to place them on bar 25.
Also, how do you specify that you only want to loop X times? I can get a perpetual loop but I have to turn it off to get it to stop. This is very inconvenient when I'm playing.
You can control looping in a few ways.
1. Go to a region that does NOT have looping checked. Click near the TOP RIGHT of the region in the arrange window. Drag to the right to specify where the looping will stop. This is tricky... if you click too low, it will extend the length of the region. You must click the correct spot near the top to control looping.
2. For a region where looping is checked, go to the end of the region in the arrange window (at the end of the song) and do as #1 above. Drag to the left until you reach the point where you want the region to stop looping.
3. Use the "pencil" tool to create a blank region where you want the first region to stop looping. If your 8-bar verse is repeating once, create a blank region at bar 17. The first region will stop looping there.
Hope this helps.

Why only one multi-touch gesture? (Suggestions for more)

The only multi-touch gesture is for rotating the screen. In having my nano for a week I've found it time consuming to get to where I want in the menus a lot of the time. A few more multi-touch gestures could solve this problem. I'd suggest one that takes you directly to the main home screen and a second that is the equivalent of hitting the "Now Playing" icon. They could be two finger swipe left for home and two finger swipe right for now playing.
