How to Set an Image as an Album Cover
When songs are purchased from the iTunes store, they typically download with an image of the performing artist or the cover of the album on which the song was originally released. (You can view these album covers with the "Browse" viewing option.) Unfortunately, when you add music to your iTunes library from your computer or an audio CD, the tracks don't always come with cover art. If you want to add cover art to the iTunes tracks that don't have it, you'll need to upload the images manually.
