Ive got a collection of about 1500 songs, the majority of which don't have album art. Now that I am starting to use front row more and more, I would like to get album art onto all my songs. So far I have done about 70 songs by using google images and manually dragging the album art onto each individual song. This is painfully slow! Is there a quicker, easier way to do this??

Cheers

There are a couple of good widgets. Try Album Art and Amazon Art which do a lot of the work for you. I'm sure you can find them on http://www.versiontracker.com or http://www.macupdate.com. They may also be on the Apple Widgets page.

I use the album art widget - you can select an entire album of songs, go into dashboard, search for the cover, and click to copy the cover to all the highlighted songs in itunes - not too bad-

i use a combination of "fetch art" and "album cover finder" between the two i have found about 90% of the artwork for my 5,000 song library. "fetch art is actually imbedded in itunes so you dont have to open up a program, you just click on the toolbar of itunes and run it when you come across a song without artwork. "a;bum cover finder is more comprehensive, actually showing the artwork, song list from each album of the artist, very nice.
