Most easy way is with iArt, a program that works integrated with iTunes. It uses several sources for artwork and allows you to do a word search when it can not find what you want. Do a Google search for it.

I used to grab all my covers from Amazon and then tag my albums, however I would suggest that its better to get cover art from iTunes because Amazon does their cover art at 500x500 pixels while iTunes covers are 600x600 pixels. The only problem is a cover in Amazon is a jpg file so its around 50-80k in size whereas iTunes covers are saved as bmp files so they are around 1MB in size!

umm why not just use Clutter...http://www.sprote.com/clutter/
it connects to Amazon and pulls the 300x300 artwork from the site, or you can drag and drop images in its window to copy to itunes...
it hasnt been updated in ages but works fine...

For some of the more obscure album artwork (often high quality) try:
http://www.discogs.com/
Also very useful if you don't know the name of the album as it can search by song name.

Also Mp3tag is a good tagger..I used Fixtunes for a while but it really messes up the tags putting in multiple field entries if run more than once.

umm .. if you're going to quote me - at least use the same OS.

My suggestion of using Amazon and simply copying and pasting is something both Windows and Mac users can do as it is web based. Your suggestion of using Clutter is not much point as it is a Mac only program.

For those of us who do not live in the US or other country where you can create an iTunes Store Account, there is a simple way to create such account and download the covers from iTunes with just a mouse click.

First of all, go to the iTunes Store, and on the Quick Links section, and select Redeem.

In the next screen, enter the following redeem code A9JYY4LMMJEY. Click on Redeem, and you will get a red-letters warning saying that the Offer has already expired. Don't worry about it, the code is for a free download that expired many months ago.

Go back to the home screen of the iTunes Store, and select Sign in on the upper right corner of the screen. Then choose Create New Account for the US store and follow the on-screen instructions. In the address section, you have to enter a valid city and postcode. Beverly Hills and 90210 will work. Just add any phone number with 310 as the area code.

In the last screen, you can select None as your method of payment, and voila!, you have your account.

You cannot purchase albums because there is no credit card associated to your account, but you can download the free singles of the week and the album art for free.

I had my account created with this method for over a year and works perfectly.

I follow your instruction but they ask to enter the credit card info. There is no option to select none as your method payment???

I have too many songs and I just turn crazy when I go to search my favorite ones. I just want to put o photo in each of them to find them out easily. Someone please let me know how to do it.
