Neutrino Icon

Track Art

Neutrino displays Track Artwork, if it exists, in the Media View of the Tracks pane.

You can open the Media View by using the Media View button in the Track list header.

When the Media View is selected, you can arrange your tracks by Album, Artist, Genre or Tracks. Tracks shows all your tracks, while the other options filter them by the selected criteria.

When a Media View is arranged by Album, Artist or Genre, you can access the individual tracks by double clicking on any track art item. This will pop up the tracks list for that item.

By default, all tracks show the default placeholder image until art is added for any track belonging to that album.

There are several ways to add the appropriate Track Art, discussed below.

Adding Track Art from iTunes

The most convenient way to add Track Art to Neutrino if you already have art in your iTunes Library is to simply play your tracks from the iTunes source in Neutrino, and it will check for art in iTunes, and if it exists, add it to the Neutrino track. This artwork will then persist as part of the tracks database between launches.

It is possible to turn off iTunes artwork checking, if desired, in the Preferences.

For music tracks with an Album attribute, the art will be applied to all tracks with the same Album name.

The Artwork Inspector

You can open the Artwork Inspector using the Inspector button in the Toolbar (Cmd-1).

Track artwork may be viewed and captured using the Artwork inspector.

Adding Track Art directly

If you don't use iTunes, or if you prefer to manually maintain your artwork, you can drag the art into the image well in the Artwork inspector.

If you do use iTunes, but prefer to turn off automatic artwork checking in the Preferences, you can use the iTunes... button to check iTunes for artwork for the playing track manually.

Adding Track Art for Movies

Movie Track Art is represented by a poster frame, which you can set manually by using the Grab button in the Artwork inspector.

Adding Track Art for Visualizers

Visualizer Track Art can be added by clicking the Snapshot button at the bottom of the Visualizer Inspector.
