I have an idea for artwork for those who can't seem to find all theirs.

This is only if you don't mind not having the "proper" album covers as artwork.



Simply search google, for an artist, and find a picture that clearly says the name of the artist. I'll use a band I have named "After Forever" as an example:

After Forever Cover Art


This is actually the cover of their self titled album. It looks cool to me, and clearly says the band name, so I add it as the artwork to ALL songs from the band, no matter what the album is.


On the iPod Touch or iPhone, the artwork will be displayed in the back no matter what song is playing, telling me it is "After Forever" and by keeping with mostly darker images, I can easily read the lyrics displayed over it.





For bands you cannot find a suitable picture for, you can make one with a Logo generator at:

Cooltext.com



I've done it for every artist so far and though it was time consuming, it was worth it. I now have no empty artwork fields left. It also looks much better when playing them on the ipod touch.
