![]() ![]() If you want artwork for just a specific selection of songs or albums, select them in any of the three views (hold down the shift key to select a range of songs or albums, or hold down Command to make a noncontiguous selection), and then control- or right-click on that selection and choose Get Album Artwork from the contextual menu that appears.īut there’s a catch: iTunes 7 will get artwork only for albums it has in its online store. The basic process is simple: If you choose Advanced: Get Album Artwork, iTunes will search through your entire library for missing artwork and download the album covers for your artless tracks from its online database. The new version of iTunes gives you several ways to get that art, but getting it isn’t always easy. To take advantage of the new Cover Flow and album views, you need album art. ![]() To put things right, select all the tracks that belong to a particular album, choose File: Get Info, choose Yes from the Compilation pop-up menu, and click on OK.

Then, also in the Get Info pane, enter the name of the main artist in the Album Artist field leave the Artist field blank. If that field is blank, the selected tracks have different album names, and you’ll have to type the album name you want. ![]() The fix is to select all the tracks on the album, choose File: Get Info, and make sure that the Album field is the same for all of them.

For example, you may have an album by one main artist-such as Santana-who joins forces with a guest artist for some songs (in Santana’s case, that would be pretty much anyone else in the music industry). ![]()
