itunes question

[charltonfan1]

Moving all my music into itunes atm and for some reason its not picking up the album art.

In WMP10 if i'd play one of my albums of mp3's it would find the relevant album art off the web. When i've then added these files into itunes it doesnt pick up the album art.

Do i need an actual file in each directory for itunes to display it?

Hope this makes sense

WMP10 gets album art from pictures named 'folder.jpg' in the same directory as the music files.
iTunes gets its album art from them being embedded into the music files themselves.

I havent got any jpegs in my mp3 directories (inc hidden files), so WMP10 is getting them from the internet and storing them somewhere i cant find.

If i could find them i could drag them into itunes

a bit of googling has found a great program for this kind of thing: http://louhi.kempele.fi/~skyostil/projects/albumart/

Searches each directory for albums then searches the net for album art
