How to manually insert artist photos in the artist column?

I wanted to know specifically how to customize artist photos in the artist section of the iPod / iPhone, etc. As you can see, it shows a corresponding album to that artist, but I wanted to put a photo of the artist there like they have in the iTunes Radio. Mainly cause it would look nice, and I have several artist that doesn't have photos anyway. There was a thread that someone put custom photos on their column using iFunbox. I have it, but don't know how the person did it.

Any help?

That's just for one song, I'm talking about the artist in general.

Same for Artist.

Step 4, before you paste the new image in, delete the one that's there first.

I hate iTunes lol. It doesn't let me right click on artist, and when I do what you said, it changed the cover for all his albums to that one photo. 😮

In iTunes select Playlists (top centre) and on the top right select Artists.

To the left select Music (under Library) and the panel in the middle do your right click (or use control key + mouse click)

If I'm correct, it's the panel with the list of all artists. Still leads to previous results lol.

Don't know why you cannot use Get Info from the popup.

You might have other issue with that's the case.

Do you have the latest iTunes 12.1.0.50?

To do that all the albums must have the same name under Artist entry then change the Individual album artwork.

All that is set already. Btw, appreciate the help lol. Just complicated.

So is there a solution to have artist photos in the artist column instead of having an album as their photo?
