is it possible? If so, how? I don't fancy searching the internet for about 100 albums but i do think it would be nice to have all the front covers for my albums i've copied onto the PC.

any advice would be great.

Thanks in advance

you could just get the images off amazon and import them, if you've got some spare time.............

why not just set up an itunes account? you don't have to buy anything and you'll get all the artwork you want.

Umm.. yeah, why not just have an iTunes account?

Anyway, [url= http://www.tuneupmedia.com/ ]I use an add-on for iTunes called TuneUp[/url] which does an excellent job of getting the right artwork and meta-data for my files.

It finds all my obscure stuff that iTunes doesn't have a clue about.

It can also do stuff like scan your entire collection and produce a playlist of all songs that have incomplete meta-data on them so you can fix them.

The reason I did not get a Itunes account is because they wanted my credit card details to join

No Way

exactly saladdodger, that is why i dont want one either. If it was just a matter of signing up then i'd do it, but they want my card details. why would i do that, especially as i wont ever buy anything from there!

I [i]think[/i] that there is an application somewhere that will get the artwork from amazon for all your music, do some googling for "artwork grabber" or similar and it should pop up. There used to be an app that did the same but with the itunes store, however apple got wise to it and changed some stuff so that it no longer works - Josh's Itunes art grabber or something like that

Okay, somewhat paranoid IMO, but you might want to read:
