Does anyone know of any simple ways of finding album art for my current library? Just wondering if there is a simple automated way that you know of.

I use Amazon.com, with images.Google.com as a backup in case I can't find the album at Amazon or their image is small/blurry (rare). There are some programs which can look up album art for you, but I find it takes less time to do it manually--you can drag and drop images from Safari into iTunes directly.

There's an app called Clutter that can do it.
Check the usual sources; there are several apps that can grab art.

Clutter works quite well. Using amazon also works fine. No matter how you look at it though, it takes a long time to do.

I'd found a few different programs that will fetch it all automatically for you, but they cost like $30 or so.
Look on versiontracker or macupdate for programs with album art in their description.

The iTunes Companion widget for Konfabulator pulls album art, album name/year for the playing track.

mpfreaker will do it automatically for you and will try to do song names and other things. It works quite well actually.
