Automatically download Album Art

Hi,

Is it possible to get iTunes to automatically download album art when a song is loaded and played?

I have my cd collection ripped but the album art doesn't come up for them.

2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.4.10), 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

You can set iTunes to download artwork from the iTunes Music Store. Go to iTunes>Preferences>General and enable "Automatically download missing album artwork". If the iTunes Store doesn't have the album you want the artwork for you can locate and add some yourself:
iTunes 7 for Mac - Adding artwork to songs and other items
iTunes: How to Add Artwork to Songs

If you have a look on the Apple downloads page you can find programs for the Mac that help locate and add album artwork. This is one I came across with a quick search of the site: Album Cover Finder 6.0

I have found this site is a useful resource for finding artwork to manually download: CD/Album Cover Art Search from SlothRadio
