Obtaining album art

[Gautama]

How do I get album art, and associate it with my mp3?

I think there's a way to integrate it into the files using id3 tags, but I just use use a jpeg called "folder.jpg" in the album folder.

I know iTunes will for sure, though I'm pretty sure that most other program that allows for extensive ID3 tagging will do the trick. In iTunes it's just a case of right-clicking and saying "get album artwork" or just dragging the jpeg into the artwork viewer for the song

I use a program called Tag&Rename to do exactly that with my mp3's it has an option to pull the tag info from amazon and it will write the Art to the ID tag also. I highly recommend it. It was 29.99 and well spent. I've retagged thousands of MP3s with it.

x2 for tag&rename, though I usually just use foobar for tagging.

OT: Will Tag and Rename allow for batch tagging lyrics? I want to use the lyrics section for session info on jazz tunes, but itunes only allows lyrics tagging one track at a time.


EDIT: Yes it does!

last i checked that method work integrate the album art into the mp3 files, just into the itunes data base. You have to physically add the album art with iTune. Or has this changed with the latest update?
