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.

How do I view album artwork in the songs tab in iTunes 11.0?

Before the update, I was able to view album artwork next to song titles in the list view. With the update, I don't know how to do this now. If anybody has found out how to do it, please answer. this is how my itunes looks now

I am having this same issue on my version of iTunes (Version 12.0.1.26) for the PC.
When I go to the album artwork for a particular song, I can no longer select the covers for the song listed - unlike in previous versions of iTunes. There is no blue-highlight that occurs, as you cannot select anything. When I add new artwork, the old artwork goes into the "gallery" portion under the artwork screen... and I still cannot delete it.
This has nothing to do with automatically downloaded artwork.
Thanks for the help!

Feature to View Multiple Artwork Missing?

There use to be arrows in the artwork box at the bottom left of iTunes that would allow you to view multiple photos of artwork related to the song/album.
Is there a way to turn on this feature or was it dropped? Running Mac OS 10.7.2, iTunes 10.5.1.
I realize I could view the other artwork if I did Command+I on the song/album but the Left/Right arrows is a great feature.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi keefwaddo,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has instructions for adding multiple images to songs and albums:

Idea for iTunes: Slideshow for "Now Playing" (new 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?
(Say is this normally the way to suggest them ideas or do I just e-mail them a customer support form?)

Since this is a user-to-user forum, for better results with Apple, give them feedback at:

That will get the informatin to Apple.

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!

Swiping through multiple artwork for one song

For some songs I have added more than one piece of artwork. Is it possible to swipe through the artwork selections whilst playing the song on my iPhone?

Yes I have just noticed this when I tried to add a back cover as well as the front cover. Certainly you used to be able to have several pieces of artwork.
Does anybody have any info about this?

How can i view album art above the songs in the new itunes format?

i liked how you could view the artwork for a song above the list and it seems like that option is unavailable in this new itunes version. Why??

Not a great solution, but you can completely remove the album art if you reduce the width of your itunes window.... as you reduce the window you get to a point where the artwork disappears.
Maximized window:
Narrowed window:

Show or view multiple album art for one song on iPhone 4?

Is it possible to show or view multiple album artwork for one song on an iPhone 4, especially on the now playing screen? I figured since iTunes has this feature then the iPhone should too. Can I download an app that does this? I've searched but couldn't find any, maybe I'm using other keywords. Could anyone point me in the right direction with this?

Darn. I hope an app is designed to be able to do this soon. From what I've seen this feature isn't really in demand so it could take a while. Thanks for replying.

Unable to view album artwork

Hi there,
I am unable to use the album artwork feaure to it's full capacity.I am able to view only selected artwork. For example, I'm able to see all the album work from the songs I bought and downloaded from iTunes. But I can't see the artwork from audio cds in which I imported into my iTunes library. I already updated my ipod to 1.2, my iTunes to 4.9 and checked the box where it states "to view album artwork" and still nothing. In addition, I noticed that when I try to view the artwork when I actually place an audio cd in the computer and click on "show artwork" I get the following message "Album artwork is not modifiable."
Before I got the ipod 20gb with color display, I had an ipod 20gb...could that past history be part of the reason why I'm unable to view the artwork??
Please Help. Thanks.
~Erica
Please help.
Thanks.

Erica,
It sounds like you may not realize that for CD's you add to iTunes yourself, you have to add the artwork yourself as well.
One way to do this is to find the album cover at a web site such as amazon.com. Save the artwork on your computer, a new folder called
i Album covers
might be helpful for this purpose.
Now it's time to get the artwork into iTunes. Select
b Library
in the
i Source List
and click on the
b Browse
icon in the top right corner of iTunes.
Now select the CD in the Browse pane and press the
b Ctrl
and
b I
keys at the sqame time.
After confirming that you want to edit information for multiple items, you will be taken to the
i Multiple Song Information
window. Double-click the large
b Artwork
box and then navigate to the image you downloaded from amazon.com and confirm that's the image you want.
You will now be able to view the artwork in iTunes by selecting Edit menu > Show Artwork and it should be on your iPod the next time you synch with iTunes.
I hope this is the answer to your problem. If not, post back.

Paste multiple artwork to album

I have several artwork for an album/several songs. I have not found a way to paste an artwork to an album/several songs without entirely replacing artwork that already exists for that album. In other words, when I select multiple tracks, do a "Get Info" and then paste artwork for those multiple tracks, it replaces the existing artwork.
I have about 10 albums I'm working with and each album has three artwork.
Any clues how to do this?

You can just drag and drop each artwork directly in the artwork viewer in the lower left corner of the iTunes window.
Just select all your songs for which you want to add artworks, make sure the artwork viewer is set to "Seleted Songs" by clicking on its title bar (to toggle from Now Playing to Selected Songs).
When an artwork is already present, the new picture will just add and you will see arrows in the artwork viewer title bar to view them all.

Is there a way to have one main cover artwork for an album that has artwork for each song?

For example The Fall by Gorillaz has unique artwork for each song but when I'm in album view it only shows the artwork for the first song not the actual cover of the album. I'm wondering if there's a way for it to display the actual album cover in album view and the artwork for each song when it's actually playing.

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

How can I get ITUNES to display manually added artwork for each song regardless of the album name?

I have been manually adding artwork to my songs. When I click the Show Artwork check box, it doesn't show the cover art. For example some greatest hits albums have different cover art per track. ITUNES picks one of the cover art and shows it for the entire album grouping.
Anyway around this? I want the added cover art to display per song.

The artwork of each individual track does display during playback, in the small thumbnail at the top of the iTunes window, or at the left of the MiniPlayer control (opens by clicking the thumbnail), or the larger artwork panel that is shown if you click on the Show Large Artwork control in the MiniPlayer. It should also display on any iPod or iOS Now Playing view.
The Up Next list uses the album art (usually cover of the first track) for everything from the same album, which is perhaps a shame, although in general one artwork per album makes sense.

Problem viewing album artwork on video ipod

My problem is that I'm unable to view album artwork on my ipod in full screen, whether it's from the itunes store or if I copy/paste an album cover pic myself. You can see the artwork fine on the left next to the song/artist/album, it's just blank when you want to see it full screen. The thing is that my ipod is Windows formatted and this has only been happening since I got a Mac and have been doing all my itunes/ipod stuff on it. I wanna know if this is normal for a Windows formatted ipod on a Mac or if there is a way to fix this (without formatting it to Macintosh) because all my other songs with artwork that I synced with Windows show up fine in full screen view. Please let me know. Thanks.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

After you added the album work to your songs, did you import or re-import those songs to the IPOD?

HT201616 Multiple versions of same song by different artists

iTunes used to have a feature where you can view multiple versions of the same song by different artists. Is there still a way to do this without having to search through the entire iTunes store? That way takes forever and I have to sample tracks that are completely unrelated, but just happen to have the same title. Why in the world would the dumb iTunes geeks take this feature away. Someone please help. Thanks!

Have not been in ITUNES Store in quite awhile but
If it was a function, it would rely on the person or persons who authored the song to insure you did get the same lyrics so to speak.
So, if you didn't know the artist you wanted - or the authors of the song - you would have to sample them until you hit the correct one.
Itunes did grow over time - and if they did have cross reference by authors they may have removed it - on the other hand like searches may have worked because of a limited database at the time - it did seem to start adding songs based on searches that brought up nothing one time - and a month later there they were.
ITUNES has over time added restrictions - for instance at some point - you had to allow this computer on Itunes in order to have itunes synchronize to an IPOD (I purchased about 6 songs on old mac - after migration synchronized fine until they stopped - finally mac allowed more than one device so I could add this one and synchronization started again).
Here are latest restrictions with windows and Mac if you want to burn CD's of your itunes

HT1677 How to view multiple websites on safari

How can I view multiple websites (tabs) on safari?

You can read King Penguins post for where the updating instructions can be found. You might want to read about the new features in iOS 5 as well so that you know what else you are getting into with this update.
Ironically enoughy, many users were angry and disappointed about the new tabs in Safari, but yet you seem to want to use tabbed browsing. Be aware that the new Music App is decidedly different than the old iPod as well. No song lyrics, and some other features are no longer available in the music app either.
I love most of the features of iOS 5, but you should take a look at what is in store for you if you update.
