can't turn off album artwork after itunes 9 upgrade D:

ahhhhh same here! They need to put it back on the next update >:o

It seems as if Apple decided to remove the ability to turn off syncing of album artwork in iTunes 9. Use the following link to let Apple know your thoughts.

iTunes Feedback.

New iTunes update, no ability to remove album art from iPod. Try again Apple.

It is so frustrating... Most my music has album art and only random album art display like 1 in 30 albums is actually show on my ipod. I would rather fill the space with more music. I'm considering down-grading my iTunes to version 8.

I'm confused here. I just upgraded to iTunes 9 yesterday and my artwork still doesn't appear on my albums until I right click and click, get album artwork so I'm not understanding about the album artwork automatically appearing.

Good thing I didn't bother to update out of iTunes 8 yet!

Me neither.

In this case we are talking about artwork on iPods. Under iTunes 8 (and previous) you had the choice of syncing artwork to the iPod with the music or leaving it off (to allow more room on the iPod which could be used for more music). This all assumes the artwork is already present in iTunes. So it was the ability to turn ON/OFF the sending of artwork from iTunes into the iPod which apparently has been removed under iTunes 9.

This is annoying me too. I use my iPod with my Kenwood car stereo and the the artwork is slowing down the operations. There's a noticeable lag because the artwork is trying to load.

Come on Apple, give us the option back. I sent in a feedback already, I hope it's for something.

Try CTRL G (Windows)
or
CMD G(MAC)

That will toggle the Artwork Tab.

Hope that helps.

Which has nothing to do with turning on and off the loading of artwork onto an iPod.

I found this problem because I tried to use Sharepod, and it crashed with a message talking about the artwork. Tried to turn it off in iTunes, and found the same problem.

However, if you go into the iPod and delete the Artwork folder in iPod control (after un-hiding it) it brings your space back, and makes Sharepod work again.

You folks probably know all this.

Depending how 'technie' you are, you can do one of the following:
OS X:
1. Open a terminal
2. type in cd /Volumes/<Name of ipod>
3. cd Ipod_Control/Artwork [you can use ls -la to find the correct directories]
4. rm -rf *

Option 2 OS X:
1. Look up how to turn on show hidden files/folder in OS X
2. Double click ipod from desktop
3. Find folder and delete

Windows:
1. Open cmd prompt [or in their explorer turn on 'show hidden folders'
2. Open ipod from desktop/explorer
3. Find directory and delete.


Note: This *will not* stay if you 'auto sync'
