Adding Artwork for Songs in iPod



You might want to associate artwork with a song. For example, if a song doesn’t have album art associated with it, you can add the art yourself. Or, you might want to add the artist’s picture or some other meaningful graphic to the song. You can add one or more pieces of art to songs by using the following steps:
  1. Prepare the artwork you are going to associate with a song. You can use graphics in the usual formats, such as JPG, TIFF, GIF, and so on.
  2. Select the song with which you want to associate the artwork.
  3. Open the Info window and then click the Artwork tab. If the selected song has artwork with it, you will see it in the Artwork pane. You can add multiple images for the same song. You can use the slider under the image box to change the size of the previews you see in the window. Drag the slider to the right to make the image larger or to the left to make it smaller. This doesn’t change the image; instead, it only impacts the size of the image as you currently see it in the Info window. This is especially useful when you associate lots of images with a song because you can see them all at the same time.
  4. Click Add. A dialog box that enables you to choose an image will appear.
  5. Move to and select the image you want to associate with the song.
  6. Click Open (Windows) or Choose (Mac). The image will be added to the window.
  7. Continue adding images to the Artwork pane until you have added all the images for a song. The default image for a song is the one on the left of the image box.
  8. To change the order of the images, drag them in the image box.
  9. Click OK. The window will close and the images will be saved with the song.
