How to Change Album Art in iTunes

iTunes allows you to organize your music collection by artist, album or genre. When you purchase music from iTunes Store, the songs or albums will come with album cover art. As you add some new songs or albums to your library by other means or just rip the music from CDs, the artwork may be missing. Sometimes you want to have the cover art of your own choice. In this case, you are allowed to add new album artwork or replace the current album art with any image on the computer.

Add artwork to multiple items in the album

Step one: Get a high-quality image online or elsewhere. Rename the image and save it to a local folder on your computer.

Step two: Open iTunes on the computer and select "Music". Choose an album and highlight all the songs. (Tips: Click the first song > hold down "Shift" button on the keyboard > click the last song)

Step three: Right-click the highlighted songs to expand a list and click "Get Info". The multiple item information pane shows up.

Step four: Click "Artwork" and click "Add Artwork". Locate the desired image in the local folder on your computer and click "Open" (Or simply drag and drop the image to the artwork area). This way, the chosen artwork will be displayed in all the songs for that album.

Change a playlist's artwork

Step one: Open up iTunes on your computer and select "Music" selection.

Step two: Click "Library" and choose a playlist on the left sidebar.
