Marta The DRM (Digital Rights Management) is no longer part of the iTunes store. There are still DRM on video I think But I never use that part of the store. I get a lot of music from emusic which has a pay a monthly fee and get a certain number of songs. Generally get 4 albums a month that way so it is cheaper than iTunes.

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.

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. http://www.applesource.com.au/itunes/soa/Collect-iTunes-cover-art-with-CoverScout/0,2000070799,339288298,00.htm 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. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Anne Cartwright Sent: Sunday, November 01, 2009 8:10 PM To: LCS ListServ MacGroup Subject: [MacGroup] iTunes 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.
