More on Importing Album Art into iTunes for Windows
I’ve been enjoying the iTunes Art Importer, but it crashes on me from time to time. I had the “can you do that?” thought this afternoon to see if I could pull up album art in a Web browser, click and hold on an album image, then drag it into iTunes for Windows. Sure enough, you can: to get it to go for multiple tracks of the same album, start by going to the Library, selecting all the album, right-clicking to get the context menu, and then selecting Get Info. A menu will pop up, and you’ll see where to drop the art. Helpful for indie albums that aren’t in Amazon’s database.
Now, this might seem completely obvious to some of you, but I didn’t know you could do that, and I figure that maybe some other poor schlubb out there is in my boat. Let us row together …
Huh. I’ve been using the iTunes Art Importer for a while, and haven’t experienced any crashes (that I remember).
But somehow, I hadn’t gotten around to trying drag-n-drop (probably because I had the importer
). As you say, that will be useful for the albums that aren’t available from Amazon (like the tunes I have from Rooke or Brad Sucks).
