We will be in touch
I have chosen to download album covers and many are fine, however - lots are not correct and the covers are really random.
In tunes, I am able to see the correct covers - how comne they do not work with coverflow?
Techy idiot by the way...
Any suggestions - cheers

Google image you want, save it. Right click on the song, one of the options is "get atrwork" select the image you've saved.
From memory so you may have to fiddle about with it a bit.
Also there's an add on program to itunes that has artwork on it. Forgot the name sorry, someone'll know
I found iTunes completely sh1t for matching artwork - even Windows Media found about 90% of mine, but iTunes about 25%.
Ended up buying TuneUp - it's a plugin for iTunes and is IME about 95% accurate for most/all commercially available stuff, but less so for the weird and wacky. Costs about £12 I think.
BTW, my iTunes (Mac) doesn't seem to enable me to check locally for artwork - hence I tried adding it manually but that was pain. Maybe the Windows version is more flexible.
Coverscout has been around for ages and seems to do the job pretty well, AFAIK, but I've not used it to verify that.

Apparently iTunes searches Amazon for cover art.
thanks for suggestions so far, will give them a go. So annoying - it cannot be that difficult for Apple to sort can it?
cheers

you can copy and paste an image into the Get Info dialog box for a track or group of tracks. You might be able to drag and drop an image straight into it, been a while since I've done it.

Usually if iTunes finds the wrong artwork, it means that not all the tags are correctly entered, or that the album is not available in the iTunes store.

At least Apple give you the option to add your own.
