itunes album artwork
Can anyone help with a problem I am having with my itunes album artwork. Sometimes i get 2 or even 3 of the same artwork pictures for songs off the same album.
Its not a big problem but it would be great if I can get just the 1 picture.
I have tried all the obvious things I can think of to solve the problem, am I overlooking something simple here. Any help would be appreciated.

in coverflow view right click on cover flow and choose sort - Album by artist...

Also do a Get info on the album as a whole and make sure the album names are all the same...

then try out coverscout from equinux and get all that album art as highres as possible and also transfer all your downloaded iTunes covers to song associated ID3 covers...

the most common cause of this I found was slightly different album names, so double check that the names are the same and correct.
IIRC, the iTunes album name must be exactly the same as the iTunes store to download the right cover artwork.

Also, I've found it helps to make the Album Artist the same for all the tracks in that album.

Thanks for your help. I have managed to fix a couple of the offending albums up, but still have a couple that don't seem to want to co-operate. As for getting the album art I have been getting it for free from Amazon. They seem to have just about everything I need there. Is this the best or only free source around?
