Open iTunes
Select the tracks you want to edit (best to select the whole album)
Right-click them and select "Get Info"
Drag the artwork from a website (i.e. Amazon)
Click "OK" to apply it to the album.

It'll then work in CoverSutra

or you could let itunes get your missing artwork, although tbh i've never done this so not sure how well it works?

It only gets it if it is available on the iTunes store for purchase - otherwise it does not add it (I believe).

Add the covers into iTunes and then Coversutra will show them, as that is where it gets them from in the first place.

iTunes will get the majority of my music, but for a few albums it can give the wrong covers (Led Zeppelin, and Van Halen albums are the worst for this).

I know a good site to use is http://www.allcdcovers.com

This will make life much easier and quicker. When you play a song in iTunes it will find the art, and import it to the entire album for you.

Just tried a Van Halen album (Van Halen II) and the largest artwork cover-size that Wiki could come up with was 300x300.

Small artwork > No artwork.

Allcdcovers failed to have about 60% of my albums...
