how do i get album art for my music. a lot of them dont have it.

[nextgin]

I just google the name of the album, then select "Images"

I use a program to search amazon for covers.


http://easytag.sourceforge.net/

Here's an example of the picture tab:

Do you mean how do you find the images or apply them to your files?

The former has already been covered, the latter there are two methods (I use both because I'm a bit anal ;-).

- Embed it with MP3 tag (or any other programme - there are lots, MP3 Tag is my favorite)

- Put the jpeg in the album folder named cover

well when i find them how do i apply them to the write songs and stuff

See above.

Download MP3Tag (it's free). When you install it check the box for the context menu.

Then right click on any album folder and select the MP3tag option.

Select all the tracks (Ctrl+A)

Having copied your album art from whatever source you chose, right click in the album art square frame bottom left of MP3Tag and select "Paste Album Art".

It'll appear and then you save it immediately.

If you want the jpeg in the folder too - right click again on the image and select "Extract Album Art".

It's set up to save as "folder" but you can change it to "cover". To save time you can chose for it to save default as "cover" in the settings.

Download and install mediamonkey, highlight the song/songs you want to ad album art to and select "auto tag from web..." you will then be able to search for album art and tags on various amazon sites.
