    I'm trying to load album artwork to my songs. some of the picture sections say "album artwork not modifiable". What gives?

    I've had that problem as well, but only with a small selection of music, I really have no idea why though, I'm interested in the answer to that question as well.

    OK, I solved it. I saved the music on .wav . Apparently Itunes doesn't like it. I get the song, but it won't let me make changes after loading it. Including the artwork. The way I solved it is to convert the files to windows media files, then to Itunes. Works great now. Hope this helps the next guy down the road.

    If you have .wav in your iTunes just select the music [type in the album or song name so only it shows up then hit ctrl+a to select all the songs] then right click on the songs [they should be blue] and click 'convert selection to aac' AAC is smaller the .wav files as well I believe.

    So long as you don't convert anything to wma, as this format won't play on your iPod.

    He converted to WMA so he could then convert it to AAC when he loaded it into iTunes I believe. Which is a lot of work, but it gets the job done, although I'm sure there is a little more quality loss then anyone would prefer.
