thanks for the people who showed me different ways to getting
artwork, but when I put songs into my iTunes or poetry, lectures or
that sort of thing ( I have stopped buying through iTunes because of
their restrictions), I also use my own pictures, the ones I have
taken,as album pictures. Sometimes iTunes gets ahead of me and finds
the album cover from which my selection has come, but that seems what
iTunes does, even if you don't buy from them, and I don't.
I used to get the weekly free selection, but they never had anything
I liked, so I quit that, too. And when sometimes they come up with a
classical selection, then there is not a freebe in them.
Someone told me that iTunes now allows you to copy their
selections,but then I have to do all this transferring into mp3s,
because theirs is always in a form you can't copy right away..
While I am not in favor to see all the album covers flit by me as I
am making a selection,I at least see pictures of my cats, my flowers
or my husband's garden crop while I am playing some tune or poem I
imported when itunes did not find the covers automatically.

Apple key (command)+ I Select the art work tab.
Then drag artwork to the box.
Also if the song is playing drag the artwork to the Now Playing box
and it will be copied to the file.
If the file is properly tagged and it is in the iTunes store.
Right click and in the dialog box click on Get Artwork.
You can also use separate programs to get the artwork for iTunes.
Here is one called Cover Scout.

I generally use Google for the album art. Type artist and name of
album
Then click on the images tab at the top of the Google search page.
I always use the biggest version of the album cover I can get.
Makes the file a little bigger but
I am future proofing the file as you never know where the image
will be displayed in the future and those 130x130 pixel album art
pictures are brutal on a hi def TV.

I have some recordings that I put in iTunes. All works fine; however
since I put this together, there is no album art. Is there some way
one can add a picture of their own to iTunes for the album art? Thanks
for any information.
