How to Download Album Artwork

Download album artwork and song listings with a few clicks.

Sometimes album artwork is automatically downloaded when you download songs or upload a CD to your computer. If it is not, you can manually download the album artwork, along with the song list, in just a few seconds.

Instructions

Windows Media Player

1. Click "Library" and select the album for which you want to download artwork.

2. Right-click the album title and navigate to the option "Find Album Info."

3. View the artwork. If a music note icon or generic image appears instead of your artwork, that particular album artwork is not available in the database.

iTunes

1. Click "Preferences."

2. Choose the option "Store."

3. Click "Automatically Download Missing Album Art" and check the box next to it. This will allow iTunes to search for album artwork that may not have automatically downloaded when your music did. If the album is not available in the iTunes store, the artwork will not be downloaded.

Tips & Warnings

• For artwork not found in the databases, you can manually find a picture of the album, save it to your hard drive and import it by hand.
