Custom iTunes Genre Art and Language Names
Today I decided to make a custom genre icon for all of my Hebrew music. Here’s a good tutorial on how to do it: Custom iTunes 8 Genre Art.
Of course, all my Hebrew music has the genre ‘Hebrew’. Unfortunately, no matter what I did, I couldn’t get the custom genre art to work! It would work if I used the genre ‘Israel’ or ‘Jewish’, but never ‘Hebrew’.
Then I cottoned on to something. I tried the genre ‘Italian’, and that didn’t work either. Nor did ‘French’.
In short, iTunes 8 custom genre art does not work with language name genres.
Hope that helps someone. Here’s what I ended up with.

Where did you get the Israel genre art… it looks much better than the one I have at the moment!
Thanks

Actually, I made it myself. Here it is for download:

And here’s another version in Hebrew:

Let me know if you want the photoshop files.

Thanks, the JPEGs are great.
You reminded me of the fake hebrew font as well… it’s back on my computer now.
Thanks again!
