In preferences just ask itunes to download album artwork and they will show up.

Dude did you not get a manual?

Some album covers don't download when you select 'get artwork' - for these you can choose 'get info' on the particular album and copy and paste the artwork

One of a couple of ways.
If you buy your music on I-Tunes, the artwork should be a part of the package.

The other way if you're manually loading music on your I-Pod (like me) is to go to Amazon.com and find the album that you're looking for the cover art for in a second browser window. Then click and drag the artwork into the artwork button on I-Tunes WHILE THE TRACK IS PLAYING (otherwise it won't do it for some reason). Now you can add the album cover to each track on the album or just put it on the first track and it will show up in the cover search function (for 6g Ipods).

Any questions, let me know.

or you can just google images for the best resolution
album covers take up a lot of memory

you can also click on advance in the menu of your iTunes and click on 'get album art work' and it will download all missing artwork that is available in its library regardless if you bought it through iTunes or not.

highlight your songs, right-click and choose "Get Album Artwork"

You can also set it to a default that iTunes automatically attempts to find album artwork for you (it doesn't matter if you bought the song from iTunes or not--though iTunes can be thrown off very easily. For example, if you have an Aretha Franklin album that is listed as "Pop" but iTune's list it as "Soul", iTunes might not make a match for you...shrug)

If your album is too obscure like the weird shit that Anxiety and CarrieMpls probably listen to, then itunes may not have it in the library. In that case you can download your own artwork from the Internet and in iTunes, highlight the song, right-click, "Get Info" and manually add the image file as the artwork.

or you can just drag the artwork in to the box in the lower left hand corner if you are listening to it at the moment and it will place it in the cover flow view for you.
