That will fill in most missing album covers, but bands that don’t sell their music through iTunes or music downloaded from Soundcloud and blogs often don’t have any artwork attached. In this case you can manually add artwork yourself to either an album or group of songs:</p> <ol> <li>Find the intended artwork using <a href="http://images.google.com/" target="_blank">Google Images</a> or <a href="http://images.bing.com/" target="_blank">Bing Images</a> search, generally adding an ‘album’ suffix to the search will find what you’re looking for instantly, save it somewhere like the desktop so it’s easy to retrieve</li> <li>Launch iTunes and select the album or group of songs you want to add artwork for, right-click on that group and choose “Get Info”</li> <p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/get-info-itunes.jpg" alt="Get Info in iTunes" title="get-info-itunes" width="488" height="140" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28087" /></p> <li>Mark the checkbox next to “Artwork” and drag and drop the album artwork image you found earlier onto the box</li> <p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/add-album-art-multiple-songs-itunes.jpg" alt="Add Album Art to Multiple Songs in iTunes" title="add-album-art-multiple-songs-itunes" width="600" height="361" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28088" /></p> <li>Click “OK” to process the songs album artwork</li> </ol> <p>To add a single piece of artwork to a large group of songs or albums, it’s helpful to use the iTunes search feature and then selecting all. You can always unselect certain songs in a large group by holding down the Command key and clicking on them manually, anything not selected won’t be updated. Remember to check Apple’s album cover art servers before going alone, simply because it’s easier. </p> <p>Any artwork added will sync to an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch the next time such a device is connected, and will also appear as the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/21/replace-itunes-dock-icon-with-album-art/">Dock icon if you replaced it with DockArt</a>. </p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/-rhmo-hnvkaB-fUomih_7f4rgZg/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/-rhmo-hnvkaB-fUomih_7f4rgZg/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/-rhmo-hnvkaB-fUomih_7f4rgZg/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/-rhmo-hnvkaB-fUomih_7f4rgZg/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=RqL-2NspQ0Q:xTYvC2G7Wng:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=RqL-2NspQ0Q:xTYvC2G7Wng:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=RqL-2NspQ0Q:xTYvC2G7Wng:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=RqL-2NspQ0Q:xTYvC2G7Wng:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=RqL-2NspQ0Q:xTYvC2G7Wng:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=RqL-2NspQ0Q:xTYvC2G7Wng:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=RqL-2NspQ0Q:xTYvC2G7Wng:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/RqL-2NspQ0Q" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
