how do i get album covers after importing cd into itunes

If you select the tracks in your iTunes Music library that you want to get the album artwork for then you can try right-clicking them (control-click on a Mac) and select 'Get Album Artwork' on the popup. If those album aren't in the database then you can manually add artwork by finding it yourself and saving it somewhere, and then selecting the album and doing 'get info' (control-I) and either pasting or dragging the artwork into the Artwork box on the Info tab

No, you dont want to do each one of your album covers now do you...

You can click advanced in iTunes and choose "Get Album Artwork". IT should search your database and start downloading all the missing covers if they're correctly installed in the itunes library. That meaning, if all the artist and song name and everything is in order. If its burned from a CD, especially a mash up cd of your own mixes you'll probably have a list of songs called Track 1 to infinity, which is pretty impossible to find the art work for.

Oh, one more thing, you'll need a valid itunes account before you do this and if your thinking of signing up, make sure you have your credit card handy as there is practically no way to sign in without one, unless someone knows of another way... this happends to be where I'm at at this exact moment!! no credit card, no account, no album covers... 😟
