Occasionally music software fails to automatically find album artwork.
Many modern music playback programs automatically connect to the Internet to gather basic information for music added to your computer, including album artwork. While the system works most of the time, occasionally the software can't identify the music, or is otherwise unable to locate artwork. In such cases, you'll have to use the fallback of adding the artwork manually. The process will use artwork saved on your computer. You can usually find album artwork image files on the website of the album's distributor.
Instructions
iTunes
1. Open iTunes and click "Music" in the Library list. Choose the "As Grid" mode from the "View" menu.
2. Right-click the album to which you want to add artwork and select "Get Info." If the album contains more than one track, you may need to confirm your choice.
3. In the Info tab, double click in the blank "Artwork" box. Navigate to the image file on your computer and click "Open." Click "OK" to apply the artwork. The art will save in your iTunes library, as well as on any devices that synchronize with the library. If you are editing only a single song, use the "Artwork" tab instead.
