How to get Missing Album Art on iOS ? | iOS

It's nice to be able to see and flip through glossy album covers when you browse music on your iOS device. If your only source of music is the iTunes store, everything falls into place quite nicely as the songs, covers and albums are already pre-arranged to display correctly. The problem arises when you start borrowing music from multiple sources or ripping CDs into iTunes. Then you will end up with a lot of blank album covers (the ones with a musical note on symbol on them). iTunes, if connected to the internet does do a look up and download album art automatically, but there is another problem. Not all albums are listed, your own compilations will not have any art work and a precise lookup depends on the music tracks themselves having correct tags (ID3 information). Do you know, you can manually add album artwork. Follow these steps :
  1. Download artwork images using Google image search.
  2. Place it in each album folder.
  3. Open iTunes and select all the songs that you want to apply artwork to --> Click Get info and click Artwork.
  4. Click the Add button and select the image you downloaded.
This works and you can see Artwork for your favorite albums in place of music note.
