Wrong Album Artwork

Ok, I just updated all my song's new artwork from iTunes onto my iPod, but for some reason, some of the songs are showing the wrong artwork; those songs are showing the artwork for a podcast I have. Anyone know how to fix this?

I never downloaded the artwork from Apple, I always just did it manually.

Pick an album from your iTunes, shift-select all the songs, then choose get info under the file menu. You can also control-click and select get info from the pop up menu.

You should see a box on the right side for album artwork. Go to www.allmusic.com, select the band, select the album, then just drag the album art over into the artwork box in iTunes.

This is how my mac works, anyway. It should be about the same on a Dell, i hope.

Yeah, but that will take 4ever for all the albums I have.

I shouldn't be having this problem, anyway. I see the right album artwork when I play the song on iTunes, but for some songs on my iPod, it shows the wrong artwork. I noticed that this problem has been occuring on all my songs I haven't purchased on the iTunes Music Store.

If theres no other solution, I might just manually add artwork, like I used to.

O.K., I just noticed that when I manually update my iPod, when I click on a song, it doesn't show any artwork. And it's supposed to since I added the artwork from iTunes.

Anyone know if I should copy the artwrok from my iTumes library to my iPod library?

Ok, I just noticed that when I manage my music manually, the Podcast Menu under my iPod shows the artwork, and the music menu under my iPod shows no artwork. When I eject my iPod, it again only shows the correct artwork for my Purchased Songs. This is a bit confusing.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
