How to Get Album Artwork on an iPod
The iPod Touch and newer models of the iPod Nano and iPod Classic can display pictures on their screens. Album artwork can be loaded onto the iPod so that the album artwork will be displayed whenever a song from that album is played. This also allows you to flip through the albums contained within your virtual library while seeing their actual physical covers, much as you would if you were searching through a physical music collection. To use this feature, you must have the album artwork for your albums stored on your iPod.
