    Hi,

    Just wondering if anyone could help. I am looking to get album art on my Ipod (ID3 Tags). Using iTunes and some other programs right now, but when attaching the album art it takes FOREVER to do a whole album.

    Anyone know of any faster or THE fastest way to achieve this?

    Thanks in advance

    I'm assuming your going song by song. In the search bar at the top right of iTunes type in the name of the album, click a song, press ctrl+a to select all the songs there [they should all turn blue] right click, then click 'Get Info' and copy and paste the album art [google picture search is great for that] into the appropriate box and click 'Ok'

    what are the resolution of your pics? Hi res pics can take a long time to load, and aren't really necessary on a small screen such as the iPod's..

    I don't think they are big files. I downloaded them awhile back from Amazon.com. I am not going through song by song. I am doing it like normal - highlighting all the songs in the album and then assigning a photo. Anyways, I guess it is just going to take a little time to assign all of these.

    Thanks for the help

    No matter how you do it your going to have to assign a picture to the album. It unfortunately takes some time, but I got through it! The album art really makes it look nicer on the screen of the iPod.
