Fetch Art for iTunes
One of the coolest features of iTunes 7 is the album cover browser. Problem is if you don’t have the album art its pretty useless. iTunes does come with an option called “Get Album Artwork” but you need an iTunes music store account to get it working and to get an iTunes music store account you need a US credit card. Sucks but there is some good news. Before iTunes 7 when there was no “Get Album Artwork” option I used to use a script called Fetch Art to download the album covers. I just tried it now and it is still working with iTunes 7 so I figured some people might find this script usefull. Its only works on Macs though so PC users need to find another option. [Link]
update: I just found this other software which seems cool while trying to find a Windows version. [Link]
update 2: PC users, here are 2 programs that downloads art. [Link 1] [Link 2]
but does anyone know any software like this that will do the same for windows?
i downloaded it, now what? what do i do next?
You can use Amazon Art, iTunes Artwork and Sing That iTune (all are widgets can be found at Apple.com) to easily download artowork directly from the net to your iTunes Lib.

thanks mark for the links
I tried this feature with my itunes account to get some artwork for songs that I had copied from my own CDs. It downloaded in 10 seconds!
