Itunes/Music search - thumbnail view

I just upgraded my computer and now I'm on "Music" instead of "Itunes" - when I used to select a genre (like 'rock') it would display all albums as just thumbnails so I could easily select one. Now it displays the album AND a list of all songs so that only 1 album will show unless I scroll down - that means I could be scrolling forever before I find my song.


How do I change it back to show all results as tiled thumbnail images of albums only?


Please!

Each section of the library has its own layout. If you want the Albums style layout use the Albums view, then use View > Show Filter Field to display a new search box near the top right. Type in Rock and you should see your rock albums in a thumbnail layout. You can potentially narrow the search with the drop down menu on the magnifying glass if required.

Hello there,


It sounds like you might be in artist view? On the left side of the music app, under "Library" there are a few options to click on: Recently Added, Artists, Albums, and Songs. If you click on "Albums", you'll get a big thumbnail view of all your albums, then you can click on an album and find the song you want. There's also a little back arrow near the top left corner of the album picture that you can click on to get back to the thumbnails.


Does that help?
