Can you manually add album artwork to itunes

Asked 6 years, 6 months ago. Active 2 years, 11 months ago. Viewed 21k times. I found out that: it is not possible to attach an artwork to a track or an album directly placing an artwork. My questions are: Is it possible to add an artwork manually somewhere in that Album Artwork folder? Is there any other hacky way to make iTunes actually load an artwork to an album in.

Major update: It turns out that it is possible to add an artwork to any album in iTunes. Is there a way around it? Improve this question. Community Bot 1.

I'd suggest perhaps converting to AIF, which would be a completely lossless conversion. Improve this answer. Tetsujin Tetsujin Noo, it does not work for wave files, since you cannot add an artwork to them — Mateusz Piotrowski. You're right - it used to; the file was added to iTunes rather than the file - I'm testing… will tweak answer if I find any option I'd just convert one to the other; it's completely lossless, not even really a conversion as such.

Yeah, I've considered it already. I was just thinking whether there is a way to put an artwork file in such place that iTunes would automatically load it as an album cover and not as an artwork of a track itself.

Ripping your own CDs to iTunes doesn't always land the right album art. Here's how you can easily add any image to serve as album art.

How many times have you ripped a CD in iTunes only to find no album art or the wrong art staring you in the face? But it can falter at tracking down art for music not in its database. There are a few different ways to add the right artwork, but here's one option for manually adding any image you wish as cover art for an album.

Certain third-party utilities can also help organize and find artwork for your iTunes content. But if you simply need to find the right images for a few albums, searching for and grabbing them from the Web is one quick and handy option.
