What I've done is find the CD listing on Amazon.com and drag and drop
the album cover image from there into the album's Get Info window in
iTunes. It's tedius work, but I hate those many blank or occasionally
erroneous album covers in my iTunes album view.

My iTunes has been screwed up for months. Somehow I ended up with two
music folder in my iTunes music folder (I'm sure it's something I did
inadvertently). Anyway, my iPod ended up with only partial song lists
from most albums and a very depleted list of albums. In addition,
there
were strange files in many of the album folders ( for instance, "In my
life.icns" and "11 Pastures Of Plenty.rsrc"). Also in most of the
album
folders the songs were duplicated and in a few instances tripled.
Well this weekend I bit the bullet, as it were, copied my iTunes
folder
onto an external disk, then deleted the iTunes folder and iTunes
preferences.
Next I pulled 20 CDs off my shelves and looked for them in my itunes
folder on the external hard drive. I thought I was going to have to
import the CDs into my computer again but as I began to experiment I
found that if I just double clicked the songs they were automatically
imported into my iTunes library. In some instances part of each album
was in each of the two music folders on the external drive.
As it stands I've successfully moved 64 albums (926 songs) from my old
iTunes folder into the new/rejuvenated iTunes in my system.
I have also successfully loaded those tunes into my iPod.
Some of the music I ported over came with Art Work but for a good many
of the albums there was no art. I used the get album Art Work menu
item
(under the Advanced menu) to get the art work. iTunes found most of
the
missing art work but in several instances the album art is different
than the art for my CD and there are several albums for which iTunes
cannot find art work.
I have tried to use the Art Collector app to find missing art work but
with no success.
How can I get artwork for the albums which iTunes cannot find? and how
can I replace the wrong album art with the correct album art?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Harry
