One of the first tweaks I make to any Mac I use is this neat little tweak that adds the currently playing album’s art to any song playing in Tunes.
Wouldn’t it be cool, though, if you could do the same thing on iOS, replacing the Music logo on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with the album art cover of the song you’re currently listening to? As usual, with a jailbreak and a simple Cydia download, you can.
The Cydia tweak is called AlbumArt on AppSwitcher, and while it’s a mouthful, the tweak is deviously simple. All it does is replace the music icon that resides in your iOS App Switcher with the album art of whatever’s currently playing as Music.
No settings, no bull, it just does what it says it does, all for free. If you’ve got a jailbroken device, give it a spin.
