Advanced iTunes: Smart Playlists and multiple libraries

By Nate Lanxon on 29 June 2009, 6:05pm

iTunes has a built-in album art database? It never used to. How does that work then?

This feature is free to use, and was introduced in iTunes 7. First, make sure you're logged into your iTunes Store account (this won't cost you anything, don't worry). Then pick the album from your library that's missing its cover art, right-click on any of its tracks and choose 'Get Album Artwork'.

That's actually all there is to it -- your cover art will be downloaded and inserted into each track in that album. You should be aware of a couple of things if you experience problems. Firstly, iTunes pulls art from the iTunes Store by matching song titles in your library with those it lists for sale in the store. If iTunes isn't downloading art, or isn't downloading the correct art, search for the album in the store and make sure it's listed. If it is, make sure artist, album and song titles match those in your library.

If all else fails and iTunes doesn't sell your weird and unknown album, it's Google Image Search time for you.

Next: Using Apple Lossless...
