So, you love the new iTunes4. You have downloaded some music from the store, and you love the exclusive Counting Crows tracks that you now have. Your only beef with the new app? The album cover feature. When the song comes up, it doesn't automatically display the album cover in the bottom left, it only displays the "selected track" which may be something completely different.

Click on the "Selected Song" text above the artwork well,0 and the mode will switch to "Now Playing" and will keep pace with your playlist. I was about to write off this new feature until random clicking won my heart.

[robg adds: I wonder why they didn't default to "Now Playing" in the first place? This is documented in the iTunes help, but it requires some digging to find (I searched on "artwork"). You can also click the artwork to open it in its own window.]
