to download album art through itunes, highlight all of the songs you want to get artwork for, then click "get album artwork" under "advanced". That should do it.

but keep in mind itunes can't get artwork for every album out there. If you have relatively rare/unpopular music (no offense meant - i fall into this category myself), you'll have to copy & paste your own artwork into itunes.

What didn't work? You found album artwork at a different source, cut and pasted it into iTunes, and then synched to your phone and the album cover wasn't there?

For some reason, album artwork no longer displays on my iPhone. All I see are boxes with a musical symbol inside. Since iTunes is not new to me, I know how to use its "get album artwork" feature.

I didnt see in general settings (on iPhone) anything that allows for turning album artwork on and off.

if you cant find the album artwork for a specific album try using this program, works great: http://extended64.com/blogs/rhoffman...8/06/1149.aspx

After searching for a way to automattically import Album Art into iTunes, I was horribly disapointed. The only application written to do this did the importing based on a per song selection in iTunes. I'm not clicking 5 buttons for each song :-P.

THAT is NOT true. I've not used this program, but it seems like overkill.

Highlight, click, and drag. That's all it takes.

Easiest way is to just go to Google images, type in the album, and drag or copy that pic into itunes. You must also highlight the albums/songs that you want this pic to go to. VERY simple!

exactly. No other programs are needed.
