Album Art

How come when I search for an album, say "Armed Forces" by Elvis Costello, the album art shows up on the iTunes store page, but when I select "Get Album Artwork" after loading this particular CD into iTunes (and syncing to my iPod Touch) the artwork never makes it to my iPod? Thanks, Tim

Does it show in your iTunes (not the store)?

It has to be in your iTunes, before it can get to the iPod.
And you have to checkmark the iPod setting to load artwork.

I'm having the same problem - see my other question today - ive gone through and update my itunes library so that all the album artwork is in my itunes library but it doesn't make it onto my ipod, and I have the show album artwork box ticked.

Are the artist and album fields EXACTLY as they are shown in the iTunes Store?
As an example, there might be a number of variations you or the iTunes store is using on the artist name...
Elvis Costello
Elvis Costello & the Attractions
Elvis Costello and the Attractions
with each being treated as a different artist. If you use the first one and the iTunes store uses the 2nd or 3rd one, no match, no artwork download.
