Album art is part of the fun of buying a CD. Would’nt it be great if you can have that same artwork in iTunes and your iPod? If you buy songs from the iTunes stores, they will come with the art, but if you download tracks from other sites, sharing it with friends etc., the album art might not be included. Let’s have a look how to add the album art to the tracks that don’t have it automatically.

…..Your Album Art area is visible in iTunes on the left corner (it is the small square area). If you can’t see it, press the right bottom of the four bottoms that are located on the bottom left.
…..Next, select a song that you’d like to add album art to. There are various ways to add the album art into iTunes.
If you have a scanned image as a file on your hard drive, drag it into the Album Art area from Windows Explorer (PC) or the Finder (Mac).

…..If you do not have the image on your computer, search for it on the internet. There are a few good websites where you can find good artwork. (http://www.amazon.com, http://www.walmart.com, http://www.allmusic.com) On Amazon, search for the album you’d like, and click on “see larger picture” for a suitable image file. If you found the desirable image, drag it into iTunes as you did with a scanned image, simply by dragging it from the website into the iTunes album art are (the square on the bottom left).

…..If you don’t like the drag-and-drop method, just use the following technique from a website:
Right-click (command-click on the Mac) on a track (or tracks) and select “Get Info.”
Open the “Artwork” tab. Click the “add…” button. Have fun designing your iTunes.

…..For a bigger view of your album art, double click on the album art area. You can do that either with the “selected song” or with the song that is “now playing. To switch in between them, click on the little arrow on the bar above the Album Art area in the bottom left corner of iTunes.

…..Some songs have multiple album art files, which can be stored on one track. To add another image file, simply drag it on top of the existing one. In the bar above the album art will appear arrows, which allow you to switch images.
