Users can now expand the miniplayer to focus on the album art and can still manipulate songs in the play queue. To activate the album art view, just hover over the album art thumbnail in the miniplayer to see the controls. Click on it and the album art will expand while swapping the gray interface with a black one.<\/p>\n<p>Another nice thing about the new miniplayer is that the progress bar is back. Apple inexplicably removed this during the iTunes 11 update and we&#8217;re glad to see it&#8217;s back.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-41546\" title=\"itunes miniplayer playlist\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/05\/5-16-2013-1-10-35-PM.jpg\" alt=\"itunes miniplayer playlist\" width=\"191\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/05\/5-16-2013-1-10-35-PM.jpg 191w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/05\/5-16-2013-1-10-35-PM-177x464.jpg 177w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/05\/5-16-2013-1-10-35-PM-147x385.jpg 147w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/05\/5-16-2013-1-10-35-PM-66x174.jpg 66w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 191px) 100vw, 191px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Other changes in iTunes 11.0.3 include showing album art in the song view and organizing multiple disc albums as one.
