What happen to display album art?

This is going out to APPL! I'm a coder, been one for 30+ years! Put back the display album art! It can't be that hard! I know you dudes can do a classic view or something like that.
Michael B's two cents

Can you be more specific? Album artwork is still available in iTunes 12, though the UI operations to do so have changed a little. As shown below:
Click on the Playlists button
Select a Playlist (or the complete library)
Select Albums from the dropdown at the top right of the screen
Are you seeing something different? iTunes 12 has also changed how you set/update/delete artwork for albums, groups of songs or individual songs - there are several threads covering this in detail ... since the iTunes 12 behavior seems to be a distinct backward step in terms of usability, there is at least the option to SHIFT-right-click > Get Info to bring up the old-style dialog where the previous functionality for handling artwork is available as it was in earlier releases.
BTW, you are not reaching Apple here - this is a forum for iTunes users. If you have specific bug reports or enhancement requests you can submit them to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html.

ZEN VISION:M What happened to the Album art???/What do you use to transf

I've had my zen vision m since last summer and absolutely love it. Recently though I reformatted and added my entire library with the zen vision m media explorer like I always do. I have always tagged my music with musicmatch jukebox so that the album art shows up on my zen. This time however there is no album art. What's going on, is it the new firmware?
How do the rest of you add your tracks? There's at least fi've different ways I've discovered to do it, but in the past the media explorer was always the best.

Hi,
I think you're in fullscreen mode. Press F11 to turn it off/on.

Where is the 'display album art on my iPod' option?

I only use my iPod in the car, so I don't exactly need album artwork on it. iTunes used to have an option to display (or not display) album art on the iPod. What happened to that option? My iPod is a classic, so it has a hard drive, and I'm getting tired of the constant disk access whenever it wants to display album artwork. I would prefer to get rid of it altogether.
I don't want to delete the artwork itself, because I also listen to music with my AppleTV at home. I just don't need the artwork *on my iPod*. How can I rig it so the iPod won't display the artwork anymore?

never mind, I found out that the option no longer exists:

++Displaying Album Art++

Hi, trying to get my albums to also display album art on first gen ipod nano. Does this only work with purchased tracks from the Itunes store?I have set up an account but dont really wish to buy owt from them!Is there a folder somewhere/ address on my computer that i can import pics/jpg/gifs to and then have them displayed?
I've also just done the software update as well, if that helps?!?!?
Cheers all!

Here are a couple of methods.
First off, make sure you have "show album art" enabled in iPod options.
Highlight a song or album in iTunes and use the advanced/get album artwork option in iTunes.
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.
You'd be surprised what Google Images can bring up. There are literally millions, and even obscure album artwork can be found.
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 nice free program to do it for you.
And incidentally, you don't have to buy anything from the iTunes store to display album art.
It will add artwork to your songs in iTunes regardless, as long as the album is for sale in the store.

Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art?

Why don't you, instead of taking time to do that, just backup, and then restore your iPod?
Just a suggestion..

Displayed Album Art is NOT what is being played!

Very suddenly my iTunes changed. It's not a big deal but it bugs the holy **** out of me. The album art displayed in the lower left corner is always the track that is highlighted within the main window but not what is actually being played. A scant 2 days ago it displayed whatever track was being played and now it's doing this. Great! Whatever I click on it shows me the album art for that particular track even though it's not being played at the moment. How do I fix it and how the heck did this even happen becuase it sure wasn't my idea.
And while I'm ranting... when did apple make it's direct support information so **** hard to find?! I used to be able to send an actual email to them for help.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

If you click in the bar immediately above the album art window where there is a little right pointing triangle, it will switch between "selected item" and "now playing".

Won't display Album Art while playing music and the screen is Locked

So what's happening is that while I'm playing music and I lock the iPod, it won't display the album art. Only my wallpaper, which is one of the wallpapers that come with the iPod.

Reboot fixed it

Won't display album art

i've pasted several album art covers to my albums in itunes. the album covers show when i play them in itunes, but not on my ipod. i've tried using small images and large images, but they still won't display. the show album art option is also checked in ipod options. what should i do to get them to show on my ipod?

Connect your iPod, and uncheck the "Show album art..." option. Disconnect your iPod. Connect it again, and check the option. Disconnect it. Does it show the album art now?

How do you display album art on the N95 8Gb?

Does anyone know how to make album art display when an album is playing on an N95 8Gb? It appears on some albums but not on others. I dragged my music folders from my itunes folder and in each album I have a small GIF or JPG file as the album art, but where do these go when the music files are dragged across - I can't find them anywhere on the phone, yet some of them display whereas others don't.
Solved!

IPod Classic display album art via TV-Out

Just purchased an iPod Classic 80Gb with the new Apple Dock. I am thinking about getting the new composive AV cable to display video etc. on my TV as well as playing tunes through my hi-fi. Does anyone know if the album will display on the TV when playing music?

I just got the Universal Dock and the Component A/V cable as an early Christmas present, and as stated before there's no album art. Initially I would have thought that the entire iPod UI would be visible on the television, but it is not. The only thing that shows are movies, tv shows, and photos. :/

What happened to my album covers?

If still problem:

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

Displaying album art and bio info

I know how to get thumbnail sized album art to appear in the bottom left-hand of iTunes. Is there a more souped-up way to get album art and band bio to appear?

To make the album art appear, hit the fourth button from the left in the bottom left corner. The one with the triangle on it. Of course, to see a albumcover, you'll first need to include them in a tracks ID3- tag.
As iTunes doesn't include the band bio in the ID3- tag, you won't be able to display it.

If different albums have the same song and I delete the duplicates what happen with the albums that should have that song, does it refrence back to the the song that was not deleted.

If several albums have the same song and I delete the duplicates what happen then. Does it remove the song from the albums and just keep 1 song in 1 of the albums?
Thx got my answer not possible, it will delete th esong from the other albums

Indeed, a song can only appear in one album.
To check your library for duplicates use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. Keep holding down shift until you have clicked on the text Show Exact Duplicates or it may still use the loser definition.
If you find that you have true duplicates you need to manually select all but one of each group to remove, or use my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. The script attempts to take account of different types of duplicates which need to be handled differently, merges playcounts and preserves playlist membership. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background.

How do I display Album art on iPod 20GB color?

In iTunes I set the album art for each song, but I can't seem to find out how to display it in the iPod itself. Please help.
Thanks

Tim,
Are you trying to display it larger and full screen for each song or is it just not showing up next to the song name at all?
