Yes, I know, but it is a lot of extra work, I might do it with one of those New years concerts of the Vienna Philharmonics, but that might be in the future which for me has gotten so short.

Marta,

A lot of the songs you can upgrade to non DRM songs, of course for a fee... The other way to move your drm music is to burn it to a cd and then import of cd, it won't have any drm on the song.

But a totally different matter,

how can I have draft mailbox permanently in my mailboxes ? my Tiger supports one fine, my leopard only does while I put a piece of mail into it. I do have needs sometimes , and I don't want to create one , since the I always have the number hanging beside this box of a letter I just construed to have the box show. I do want it to sit there and stay there.
Anybody have a solution?

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.

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.

Anne: select track in iTunes


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.
