okay, most times you have to have you alum info WORD FOR WORD the way the iTunes Music Store has it, or else it won't work. sometimes it is case sensitive, sometimes it is sensitive to a space in the wrong place, ect. just keep trying different things, or image search in google the album name, try to get at least 300x300 res pic.
 
It's hard for me to say how much it found for me, as about a month before this feature was added to iTunes, I spent ages finding almost all of it myself. :eek:

However, for the 10% of my music that I could not find the album art for via Google image search, iTunes managed to get about a third of it, and I'm sure it would of found about 80% of the artwork for my entire library if I hadn't spent all of that time finding it myself.
 
About 70% here. I have allot of rare CDs that iTunes just doesn't have. For these CDs, I have even had some trouble finding artwork for them on the net. In one case, I managed to find a CD cover only by going to the bands MySpace.

I have also found that the CD names don't have to exactly match the full CD name that is found in iTunes. As an example, Kiss Alive II (disc 1) and (disc 2) got the artwork from iTunes when iTunes is labeled Kiss Alive II (remastered).

Anyways, iTunes does a pretty good job at artwork.
 
Album Art

FixTunes allows you to upload missing album art to your iTunes. FixTunes also fills in the missing song detail information and corrects misspelling.
