Adding iTunes Album Art

If you’re like me, iTunes is nearly always open when using my Mac.  I can’t go through the day with silence.  I also like looking at the big beautiful artwork available from the iTunes Music Store (iTMS).  But, did you know that the album artwork isn’t embedded into your audio file?  Me, I’d like a “complete picture” of my music.  iTunes will actually fetch artwork from the iTMS to display but unfortunately, it won’t embed it into the file itself.  Luckily, it’s an easy fix to marry art and music:

1. Find the albumb you’d like to add art to.
2. Select all the tracks in the album you’d like to embed the art into
3. In the bottom left corner, click on the “Show/hide artwork” button
4. Right-click (or control-click if you’re on a one buttom mouse) the image that is shown and select “copy.”
5. Right-click the tracks you’ve selected and pick “Get info”
6. In the window that pops up, right-click the artwork box and select “Paste”
