How to make an awesome album art wallpaper

As you probably guessed this tutorial is going to show you how to get an awesome album art wallpaper of most of YOUR songs. There are a couple of things you will need in order to do this.

1. A Mac W/iTunes  - Plain and simple you need OS X for this (I'm not sure if this will work with any lower versions)

2. Songs W/Album artwork - If you don't have any artwork, don't worry I'll show you how to.

Ok let's get started. If you don't have any artwork follow these directions on how to get them. If you already have artwork skip to step 4.

Step 1 - Make an iTunes account if you don't already have one. 

Step 2 - Make sure that the song info in your library is correct and "clean". This means make sure your song names, artist, and albums are all correct with correct caps and spaces and all that good stuff.

Step 3 - Open iTunes, log into your iTunes account, and go to (in the menu bar) Advanced>Get album artwork. Your album artwork should begin to download

Step 4 - Open system preferences and go to Desktop and screensaver. Click on the Screensaver tab and click on iTunes artwork in the sidebar. Then click test.

Step 5 - Here is where you got to be quick. While it's in test at the same time quickly press command-shift-and 3 and that should take a screenshot of the wallpaper.

Step 6 - By default it will save the image to your desktop. So go beck to system preferences and this time click the desktop tab. Click the + sign by the bottom and locate the pic. And it should take effect immediately.
