Itunes - album artwork

[Gargamel]

Evening all, So I am a little out of touch so what?

Just putting a few CDs of mine onto my new ipod, I have downloaded most of the album covers from itunes, but for my James CD it has put on james Brown album cover, I've removed that.

is there a manual way of selecting artwork and loading it, being a mac it all kinda happens in the background with very little user control

And yes (sigh) I am not very good at this stuff anymore so type slowly

thanks all

You are. It's iTunes, not Itunes.

There may be another way but this works. Google the album/artist and go to 'images', select the one you want and then click 'full-size image' and copy it. Go to iTunes, make sure the artwork viewer is showing at the bottom left, select the album in your library that's showing the wrong pic or no pic and then paste into the artwork viewer window.

Okay. Serious head on.

Select the track to which you wish to add artwork and press Apple(Command)+I.
In the window that opens press the 'Artwork' tab (top right of the window).
Then click the 'Add' button under the bottom left corner of the artwork window and browse for the artwork file you wish to dedicate to the track.
Finally click "OK' and you're all sorted!

Mitch - thank very muchely thats worked fine, and I didn't now I could edit other info that way so should help me in the future

really easy way to do it is to download this widget http://www.widget-foundry.com/widgets/amazonart.ht...

will automatically download album artwork for the current song playing and will do it for the current album if you ask it to.

Yes I sometimes end up with some bizarre album covers for my music on my ipod. Anyhow, is there any widgets (or equivalent) for a PC (non mac) user?
