The best and quickest solution is to use Tunesleeve now at version v1.0.11 costs about £20 then check that it has worked using MP3Tag now at version v2.44 by selecting you iTunes folder.

N.B.> Be careful tunesleeve will actually rewrite the ID3 tag of the MP3 so will MP3Tag as well but this is not as east to use as Tunesleeve

N.B.B > iTunes only displays artwork by association on DRM MP3's which means that they wont transfer artwork to other players tunesleeve will do this for you.

N.B.B.B> Make sure that if you want to keep the HQ downloaded artwork when using tunesleeve select the correct BUTTON to keep them or they will be lost forever.

Remember this is the best solution for ripped CD and aquired MP3's that have no DRM most that don't have artwork, tunesleeve gets its artwork from www.amazon.com images.

Find the album art/covers on google and save them to your computer. Go to itunes and go to your album. You have to go "in" to the album by dubbleclicking it. Then rightclick the empty albumcover and select info. Then choose the Pictures tab. There you can upload your picture to the album. And when you sync your ipod it shows on the cover flow.

I followed the instructions here, saving the cover artwork from amazon and then adding it using the 'get info' tab for the album. http://www.downloadsquad.com/2006/11/30/how-to-fix-your-itunes-artwork/
