Manually uploading album artwork in itunes?

[SAWYER]

On my Zune I can click on a song/album etc and manually edit the details, including uploading album art. I tried fetching artwork from the itunes store with no luck, any options?

For iTunes to get the artwork, the album title and song title must match the one sold at the iTunes store. It works well about 70% of the time for me, but not always.

A few options; (Sine your using a Zune, I assume your on Windows?)

1. To do it manually, just highlight an album (or song) in iTunes and drag and drop the artwork image onto the little artwork window down in the bottom left corner.
2. Use an auto iTunes Artwork collector, such as TuneSleeve - http://tunesleeve.googlepages.com/

If you were in OSX, there is a FANTASTIC program called Album Art Widget - http://www.apple.com/downloads...ic/albumartwidget.html

I use this Amazon Album Art widget, which isn't as powerful as the one Aphex linked above (this one only get Amazon Album Art for whatever tracks you have highlighted):

Ok I have downloaded art work from google searches and dragged n dropped like aphex mentioned. When i delete the art work from my desktop will it still stay in my ipod and zune?

That all depends on if you told iTunes to copy things to your music folder. If yes,then you should be ok. If no, then probably not, perhaps you should test it.

I think it does save it regardless of the setting. There is a separate folder in iTunes just for album art (at least in OSX)
