That's how it is supposed to work.

Select all songs. Advanced menu> Get Album Artwork. Doesn't get 100% of mine but it gets a lot.

It actually takes a while to load them. I noticed that a few days ago I set iTunes to download album art for all of my CDs... now, three days later, more than half of my CDs have album art, while others are showing up day by day.

Apple should look into this.

Hi, this is my first ever posting, so here goes...
I recently upgraded to itunes7. Everything was going well until I tried to put a song I purchased on itunes onto an imovie. I kept getting the 'this machine is unauthorized' message. So I authorised it, even got a successful authorization message, but guess what? It still says my machine isn't authorised. So then I deauthorised all my machines (all two of tem!). Then re-authorized. Same damn message. Can anyone help? Jon.

Getting the album covers seems to be very sensitive to the tags for artist, year, etc. If you can find the album in the iTunes Store, match up the tags and it should go. (Slow process, I know...) Sometimes I had to request the album art multiple times before iTunes actually did so, but eventually I got all of the album art.

I also put the album's iTunes-Store URL in each track's comment field. I don't think that helps find the album art, but it couldn't hurt. You can grab the URL by right clicking on the album cover in the iTunes Store.

ITunes 7 seems to be very quick at supplying all the artwork.

Jon, Welcome! I hope you get a better answer, but if worse comes to worst, you might try software like Audio Hijack (http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijack/).
