Many people aren’t fans of the new iTunes icon. There are many replacement icons on the internet, but in our opinion, this one rocks. This simple iTunes add-on allows you to make your iTunes icon the album artwork of the song that you are currently playing. Before we start, make sure that iTunes is closed and that you have downloaded the add-on here.

Installing The New Icon

1. Once you have downloaded the DockArt file, right click on Finder and click “Go To Folder”.
