How to Move Album Artwork Into iTunes

If you have purchased an album from the iTunes Store, uploaded CDs to your iTunes library or downloaded files from a peer-to-peer network, you may have seen its official artwork appear alongside each song. Some artwork does not automatically show up in iTunes, especially for music which has been downloaded from websites not affiliated with Apple. However, it can often be located using the iTunes album artwork finder function, if your computer is connected to the Internet. If the artwork still cannot be found you will need to manually locate, download and drag each image into iTunes.
