If it is still not enough, you can select inage from your photo library, or you can even turn on artist background. In the application, there are several built in themes. If you don't like the original background, than you can change it anytime you want. Moreover you can discover similar artists too. You can see the complete discography from Last.fm with the best albums. If you are curious about the artist what you are listening to, then tap on the album. So if you have the correct artist and album name in your music information, than there will be no more "no cover" image.Īre you curious about how does the band look like who you are listening to? If yes, than just turn on the artist background, so every time you can see a picture of the actual artist as background.ĭo you want to share your favourite song? Just use the Facebook or Twitter integration. Of course, it is supporting playlists, search, online information and it has a highly customizable user interface.įrom now if there is no album artwork in iTunes, then the application downloads the album cover from the internet, based on the album title and artist. But with Album Flow, you can scroll through your albums in portrait mode. The original Cover Flow is working only in landscape mode, which is not so convenient solution in many situation. The super fast user interface with high resolution images will take care of the best user experience on your device. Apple has not integrated cover flow to the iPad’s player, so this application is perfect for those who have been missing this feature. I would love for Apple to solve this issue and I hope this helps.Album Flow is one of the best music player available in the AppStore. So, in the end, a combination like this in your "Artist" tag: "Album Artist"."Artist" would solve the problem in the iPod. I prefer to use the dots instead of just removing all the "Featurings and similar" since I can still see it normally if I play the track. Then in the iPod Cover Flow it will show up only once as AlbumX - ArtistX. That means that if you had a "." after the main artist name than it will show only once, like in the above example: It seems to have something to do with the dot ".", I reached the conclusion that for Artist interpretation in the iPod when the Artist tag has a dot "." then it stops interpreting. Well, this was very different from the normal behaviour when the artists are all completely different, in which case you get X amount of albums according to the X amount of different artist names you have. In the iPod Cover Flow I got ONLY TWO different albums, one with "ArtistX" and another one with "ArtistX Feat. I found that when the Artist was a combination of, for example:
Since I just bought a new iPod Classic, I was again looking into this issue and now I was getting annoyed, strangely the behaviour wasn't the same for all the albums that were suffering from the problem. It seems to be a simple issue around the way the iPod uses the "Album Artist" tag but it also seems to be around forever and it's strange Apple hasn't looked into it. Tagging the tracks as "Part of a Compilation" only partially solves the issue since the album will appear in the iPod Cover Flow as a Compilation showing up in the end and not together with the "Album Artist" like in iTunes and like it should. If the stuff I'm going to describe is already well known than sorry about that, I just couldn't find it anywhere.Īn album that has a single Album Artist and different Artists appears several times in the iPod Cover Flow although it looks just fine in iTunes. I did a lot of testing, including re-writing the ID3 tags in different versions and formats to rule out any issues around the tags themselves.ģ. I searched the web and found people describing this problem since 2006 till 2009 and the solution always revolved around not using the "Artist" and the "Album Artist" tags like they should be used.Ģ. I've made some research about this issue and got to some interesting conclusions.ġ.
