Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Just click twice on the center button. The first click takes you to the fast forward/back window and the second to the album graphics.

Do you Twango?

Yes, I've click the center button cuz I know how to put the lyrics, and I can see them when listening; but I've put the picture of the songs too and it just doesn't appear.
I clicked "get info." and there I put the lyrics in "lyrics" and a picture in "picture", but then I click the center button and I can see the lyrics but not the picture..
The first click is to re/fw the song, the next is for lyrics and the other is to add stars.
I'd really wanna see the pic when listening..
Thanx

So are you saying that there is not a little picture of the album on the left side of the name of the song?

If it is not there then maybe you don't actually have the album art.

If you want album art for your songs then I suggest using the program which is a widget.

Here's the link if you want to take a look at what I am talking about:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/music/amazonalbumart.html

You just type in the name of the album and then it will show up and then you just click apply to iTunes.

Hope this helps!

I have also put some photos in mi iPod, and I can see them in the thing called "library" or something like that.
But the thing you've suggested me is for Mac and my PC is Windows..
Is there any thing like that but for windows?

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.

Try going online to look at album covers and save them to file that will be uploaded to the iPod. The drag that photo from the open file window into the iTunes album viewerin the bottom left hand corner.

Thanks very much, but I have no problems adding artwork to the songs and displaying it on the iPod.

While your iPod is plugged in and iTunes recognizes it, go to the options menus above and select general. There is an option there to check or uncheck "Show Album Art on iPod." Your's must be unchecked. Allow iPod to update, don't forget to select 'Apply' at the bottom right of the window before you eject the iPod.
