Anyway to get album artwork for your albums on itunes?

[Test12345678]

There used to be a program where it would scan your albums and apply the artwork, but i think its not free anymore. Anyone know of any similar programs? I use a winXP based PC.

thanks!

You can use iTunes to do this. Simply highlight your music, right-click on one track, then left-click on Get Album Art. If it isn't in the iTunes directory then you can always just go to a website such as Amazon and get the album artwork there. You can also use Google to find free programs that go onto Amazon to look up the album art. I found 10 such programs in 10 seconds using Google.

Just a quick note - for iTunes to work, you need to have the albums tagged correctly (e.g., artist & album). You can also fake iTunes out - for example, if you have an album that iTunes doesn't have, but they have like a greatest hits album, you could just rename your album to match and you'll get the artwork for that album. It works - I've done it.

As for album artwork, there are a few dedicated sites for just the artwork like - http://albumart.org/

And there's also an article on Lifehacker on how to add album art to cleanup your library - http://lifehacker.com/software/album-art/alpha-geek-whip-your-mp3-library-into-shape-part-ii--album-art-231476.php

I use Amazon and Wikipedia to get art. If I can't find it on one, the other usually has it.

I always thought you had to enter credit card information and i dont want to do it because i really dont know why they want it before hand :\ Otherwise I'd be ok.

There are ways to get free accounts without a credit card number. If you search the forums, I'm sure you can find the info on how to set it up. EDIT: Found it - http://www.winandmac.com/tips/free-itunes-account-no-matter-where-you-live/

Easiest way is to pickup a cheap iTunes Gift Card and you can use it to setup an account. When you run out of it, you've still got the account-- it doesn't get closed down.

Oh, and they want it before hand because the work with Amazon's One-Click - you just click "Buy now" on a song, type in your password, and it downloads and charges to your account. It's rather convenient (although very easy to buy lots of music without thinking about it).

Derek, thanks once again, worked perfectly!

I just use google images, I found things quick that way and just paste it on to itunes with the NOW PLAYING window out. Worked out fast!
