Itunes Question on Cover Art

[donunus]

How do I get cover art for my albums in Itunes for folders ripped using lame/eac? First of all, I cannot register with Itunes cause I don't live in one of the countries currently supported. My reason for wanting the cover art on itunes is so that when I get an ipod, I will also get to have the art displayed on the screen

May have to do it manually.

Can get Album Art at Amazon and then just select album, get info, and paste album art into appropriate spot.

If you have a Mac system, you can use the Amazon Album Art widget:

what do you mean by select album then get info. Where in amazon?

amazon's the way to go.

I used the itunes thing as an experiment to get the album art for my aac versions of flac songs that I already had. You have to give them a credit card number (if you don't plan on buying anything this sucks) and you don't have access to the art once it downloads. It's just stored in some library somewhere in a weird format. It won't display, for instance, in Windows in thumbnail view which is my main reason for having it.

Plus the new album art browse function in iTunes 7 leaves a lot to be desired. If you have a ton of music like me, it's very hard to see as it goes wizzing by because of the way they angle them.

Amazon.com

Find your album, click on the album art to get full resolution, then save it to your computer.

Then you just select a particular album in iTunes, select get info, and paste the album art where the album art area is.
