How to Veiw Album Coves on iPod Nano

Hi,

Welcome to Apple Discussions

You can find them on Amazon.

Launch iTunes and select all tracks for an album then drag and drop the cover art in the box bottom right. You may need to click on button 4 at the bottom left to open the artwork window. Clicking on it's tile bar changes it between Now Playing and Selected Song - you need it on Selected Song.

Here's a link to Add Song Information, Lyrics, and Artwork to My Tunes which explains it:

I have this same problem, and I have tried using your advice (I assume that you meant bottom-left instead of bottom-right) but the album still won't show up when I play the songs. It shows up when I select the song on iTunes, but not on the nano. I have also tried clicking the "display album artwork on your iPod" in the preferences window, but it won't work either.

Ooops!

Yes, bottom left 😉

So, it shows up in iTunes when the track is selected and the artwork window has Selected Song in the title bar - I assume if you change the title bar to Now Playing and play the track that still works?

" I have also tried clicking the "display album artwork on your iPod" in the preferences window" - You've turned it off, quit iTunes, re-launched and then turned it back on? If you've done this properly the artwork gets re-optimised.

If that doesn't make it work on the nano then you may need to restore the nano and reload.

Running out of ideas here 'cos I've got a Mac and it just works.

Hope someone with Windows has a better idea.

Yeah, I definately have the exact same problem. I've loaded all the album art I want onto the songs. I checked, closed, then rechecked the "Display album art on iPod" button. They were all optimized. It shows up when I select a song on iTunes. Yet, when I'm on my iPod, it doesn't show up. When I'm playing a song its not right next to it or anything. Its not even there when I hit the select button twice. It just doesn't show up on my iPod period.

Is it this problem?
