Say you import a song into itunes, and itunes music store is selling the same song. Can you get the artwork off itunes some way without buying? If not this would be a cool feature for apple to add into itunes.

A precise Google search returns album artwork very quickly. For example:

"Amazon White Stripes Elephant"

...using Amazon, the artist and album title, the first hit is usually the detail page for that disc. Click the album art to make it big... And voila.

I've done and use both. Im very picky when it comes to my mac. It would be nice if when you import music into itunes, itunes would check its music store DB first.

The best images I've seen come from buy.com. I did it manually as I imported songs (hey, I had a lot of free time).

Amazon's are good but sometimes they have that little "33% off" or whatever star in the buttom corner that messes up the artwork.

Buy.com doesn't have everything, so I find that Google Images takes care of the rest.
