Thus far it does not seem possible which is odd because you can change it in Artist view.

You can only change it in Artists, Genres, and Playlist, and only using the Artlist List view. Just use Command J in those views to see the view options and tile size slider.

Would really love to be able to increase the size of album art in Albums view. I'm on a 50" TV and the albums look tiny. Used to have this setting maxed out in iTunes 10, and would have liked to have them even bigger.

Also, the dark background is no longer present. Was good to have a dark background to minimise noise from the TV associated with brighter colours on screen.

I have submitted feedback to Apple regarding these two issues, I suggest you all do the same for the issues you have posted in this thread.

Anyone have a fix for iTunes match simply not working?

It just hangs on the first stage...

Nikhil72 · Nov 30, 2012, 06:42 AM

Anyone having an issue with album art not loading for a ton of files? The artwork is embedded in the info option but it only loads in the grid if you cut and repaste the artwork. This is happening to hundreds of albums, so doing that for all is not a feasible option.

Gilj · Nov 30, 2012, 07:05 AM

1. "Alt + Next = Next album" is missing.
2. I haven't find out how to remove multiple songs from the "Up Next" list.
Anyway to do either of these?

Thanks, Gil.

Hi,

Can somebody tell me where to find the 'show duplicates' option, I tend to use this a lot and I'm unable to find it.

Thanks in advance

NewishMacGuy · Nov 30, 2012, 09:19 AM

Anyone know how to change the artwork for Genres?

Reasunach · Nov 30, 2012, 09:20 AM

How about downgrading to the previous version?

In Artist view go to View -> View Options.

sandylp · Nov 30, 2012, 10:02 AM

Since there's no Advanced tab in iTunes 11, I can't figure out how to join audiobook tracks into one. I am trying to add an audiobook to iTunes so I can transfer it to my iPod. For instance, each Disc has 10 different tracks. I used to be able to click on the Advanced tab and then click Join and the tracks would be combined into one. I don't see any option for doing that now.

Yep, downloaded an app on my 4S last night and it wouldn't sync to iTunes on the computer. I had to go into iTunes and select File/Devices/Transfer Purchases, despite the fact I've got "Automatically sync new apps" turned on. Hope this gets fixed soon, kind of a pain.

Thank you for answering, and glad to hear you found a workaround. I thought I was going mad.

That changes the size of the album in the 'main' window. How about the artist list? I'd like to remove them all together and just have a text llist of bands.

That changes the size of the art in the Artist view. What do you mean 'main window'? I don't see a way to resize the art in other views like Album view.

I was talking about the thumbnail art attached to the band names located in the list on the right (in artist mode). I'd like to remove them all together so it's just a text list. Fit more bands on the screen at once.

I have a really dumb question. I can't find how to turn off Next Up, is there a way and I just not seeing it? Every time I double click on a song Next up automatically adds the entire album. I know in iTunes 10 if you did that it automatically went to the next song in the list, but there were ways to get around this so it only played that one song.

Right click on song -> 'Play next'

or click the arrow next to the song -> 'Play next'

bookemdano · Dec 1, 2012, 12:14 AM

Putting this here in case I'm the only one for whom this wasn't obvious.

Itunes new "instant" search function is great, except for the fact that it (apparently) does not search track artists (only album artist). Try it yourself on a compilation album or soundtrack. While typing in an individual track's artist name you will get a discouraging "No Results" in the instant search drop-down. This is confusing because it makes you think it doesn't exist in your library.

However, if you hit Enter that will perform a more thorough search and put the results in the main iTunes window, which does include searching the track's artist field.

Like I said maybe I'm the only one who found that confusing. I'm sure Apple did it as a trade-off so the instant results were more instant--especially on older systems and larger libraries. But still, I think rather than "No Results" they should add text instructing the user to hit Enter to perform a more thorough search, because the pop-up window as you're typing gives the impression that those are the full search results.

Otherwise, I'm liking it!

I don't think you got my question. I want to turn Next Up off, I don't want it at all. Other then that I understand how it works, just want to turn it off. :/
