I have a irritating problem with my ipad. it might be yours as well but does anyone know if there is a way to stop album art from going fullscreen while playing music. I'd like the ipod app to actually function like itunes and just keep the art work in the bottom left corner....

When the music is playing, touch the screen. At the bottom right is an icon that will show the playlist, no album art. At the bottom left is an icon that will take you back to the iPod app and it looks almost exactly like iTunes.

I don't have my iPad yet, but on the iPhone when playing music if I were to hold it length wise (landscape) it switches to coverflow but holding it tall (portrait) it puts the album art in the background and gives me the controls..

Is that what you're talking about on the iPad? Either way, there is not really much you change with how things are displayed anyway..

I have the iphone as well but I keep the orientation locked. I guess i'll have to deal with it. on the ipad, when you click on a song it zooms into the album art. then you have to press the screen to get the controls to show and then you have to press back.

Do the the pinch to zoom gesture (pinch in) on the album art, and presto! The album art will be back in the left bottom corner and it will look like iTunes.

Unfortunately though, if you would like to shuffle, set repeat or what have you you'll have to go back to the full screen album art and select them from there.

Cheers,

Unfortunately, that's the default action and Apple doesn't provide a way to change it.
