Just curious on where you guys get your album artwork for your CD's, I get mine at buy.com, which is normally 500 x 500 pixels. Anybody know a better place perhaps? I can't really scan mine as my scanner is pretty bad and everything it scans looks grainy.

If you have tagged all your files properly, then Album Art Aggregator works great. I tagged several thousand albums in less than an hour, would've taken me forever otherwise.

Unfortunately, amazon's images are always grainy, can that program listed above get the images from buy.com automatically? I remember that online thing that could grab artwork from iTunes, but it doesn't work anymore, I wonder if thats been hacked again?

I want to know how to encode the art into the mp3 so my iPod will show the art even if iTunes can't find it.

Discogs has real good art usually if they have the album. Most times I've needed something I couldn't find I found it there.

If you have your songs in iTunes, now you can just hit right click--> "Get Album Artwork".

The one depressing thing is several big-name artists (i.e. The Beatles) who aren't available on iTunes means you'll still have to find some covers yourself. And it's pretty useless for compilations as well.

One weekend, I'm just going to scan the CD covers from my own collection so they'll all be high-quality and actually fit...

For the ones not uploaded on iTunes, I look for good user uploaded images on Amazon or the above mentioned google image and wikipedia.
