You've seen the commericals where the person looking for a song on the Ipod flicks through the covers. I have to admit it's a cool gimmick, instead of scrolling through a list you get to flick through the actual album covers themselves What you don't see in these commericals is the albums that Itunes can't find to load. I have around four hundred albums downloaded in my Ipod and almost nintey albums have no covers. That's close to a fourth of all the albums. Instead of the album art you just get a box. I can understand the problem with some of the albums, I do have some fairly obscure albums. But they couldn't find the Greatest Hits of Bob Seger, Bettye Lavette's newest one...quite a few that I figured they should have. And on some multiple sets they show the cover to the first disc and than nothing on the second disc. At least it corrected the problem when it was showing Faith Hill's Greatest Hits on about six different albums. So while this is a pretty cool feature they still have a ways to go with it.

I've been using my new Ion to archive my cassette tapes and upload them to my Ipod. I discovered that Itunes doesn't search for the album art when you do that.
Have you tried the command to make it search for the artwork or is it just automatically searching? Don't know if the first way will work or not. It's kind of cool having the artwork for the album, but the older the album the harder it is to find it I'm finding out.
