Alright, I wanna add some album artwork onto my iPod, but I have no idea how to do this. I have some on there already, but it's the incorrect album artwork for some of the albums I got. How do I edit this?

To attach artwork directly to the music file itself, right click on the song and select "Get Info." In the menu that pops up, select the "Artwork" tab. You can copy/paste the artwork into the field or click the "Add..." button to look for the directory where the cover pic is located.

This changes a bit when you select mulitple tracks that make up an album. Once again, highlighting all the songs, right click - selecting "Get Info." This time around, there will only be three tabs, but no artwork tab. Regardless, there sould be a field labeled "Artwork." Clicking on it will open up a prompt for you to find the directory where the picture is located.

Finally, if you want the covers and/or other pictures to appear as you go through the menus on your ipod, place the picture files in the folder where the music files are. For example:

Folder: C:/"Sonata Arctica (2009) The Days of Grays"
Track 1
Track 2
Track 3, etc,
Cover pic.jpg

When you upload the music to your ipod, it will also the nab the picture file since it is in the folder(s) where the music is being uploaded from.

Thanks, Ash. I appreciate that. I hate having, say, the game cover as my album artwork for Metroid Prime. ~_~

The only real problem I have with the way covers are displayed is the fact that cover pics in itunes will adhere to the dimensions of the picture itself (like oblong DVD and SNES cases/boxes), while the pictures will be cropped off on the ipod itself because the cover is limited to the original square dimension. However, it's a small annoyance.

Okay, I updated iTunes and I'm getting somewhat annoyed. Why is after I add something to the lyrics tab, close it, and then reopen and play it iTunes crashes?
