Okay as it says above. First up Go to Amazon,select music category and type in Artist and Album Name.Select the correct Album and right click on the cover; click on Save image to iphoto. iphoto will open and display the capture cover.check it is the one you want.Now close iphoto and amazon. Open itunes and choose the Album with all tracks page,scroll to the album with missing Album Art and click on Album Panel.
Next click on the FILE Tab [top left next to edit ] select Get INFO.A panel will appear so choose artwork [top right of centre panel] Now click on the Add Button.a small Panel will appear so choose iphoto.next choose either events or photos and scroll down until you see your Album Cover.Click it and then click the Choose Button and the Album will appear in the panel.Click it and then click the Okay Button. = Job Done. Bit long winded i know ,but it does work. [While you are on Amazon you can of course get all the Covers you need into iphoto,saving a bit of time.
I am new to Apple Products btw so am working things out slowly.Thought I'd share this as a lot of people have trouble with itunes /gracenote not finding artwork on their database. Amen
I just right click on the image and select 'copy image' then go to iTunes and select the album and right click on the empty album art square in the bottom left hand of the screen and paste it in. (Where it says 'Drag Album Artwork Here'.)
If you single click to highlight the 1st track in the album and then press (and hold down) 'up arrow' (shift) and single click on the last track, it highlights all the tracks.
Now 'right click' in the box that says 'Drag Album Artwork Here' and then 'paste' and it cascades the album artwork to all the tracks in that album.
Takes a few seconds once you have found a suitable image.
Thanks for that Paul,Yes I have just bought the latest 21.5 imac.
Wot Chebby says - so much easier!
And you can use Google Images to get ANY album cover. Copy & paste or drag & drop. Simple.
If you are on a mac, there is a great free dashboard widget that does the same thing. Hope this speeds things up for you! http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/music/amazonalbumart.html
