Anyone know how to solve the problem of iTunes not finding the Artwork for Albums?

Thanks Quantz, that works for some of the Albums. Problem seems to be that Apple don't even have some of the albums! They're not even particulalry weird albums either! for example, The Best of Blur & The Eagles: Hell Freezes Over! I was wondering if there is a 3rd party bit of software that will source the artwork from other sources? 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

I use a software app called Tuneup Companion. It works alongside iTunes. It will clean up music with the correct track names etc and also give you the correct album artwork.

I don't have it currently but I used to use some free software called Album Cover Finder from which you can copy and paste ito 'tunes. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

I use google images to get the artwork and save that to a folder on my pc then add the image from the "artwork" tab of the "get info" field which I think can only be accessed from the "Grid" view!

Cheers for the suggestions folks. I have tried simply searching on google and then doing a copy & paste into the artwork box in iTunes "get info" section as suggested by quantz & Viper and it seems to be working a treat.

Don't know if this also works on a PC, but with a Mac you can just drag the image from Google (or wherever) into the Album Art box. Saves a couple of clicks not having to copy and paste. Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.8::MG Montego Turbo::MGB GT::Rover Sterling::MGF::MG ZT 190+

Had a lot of blank album covers so followed advice above, used TuneUp as suggested, only took about 2 mins to download and after runnung the artwork tool, managed to find the artwork for 99% of my albums. Very good for a free download, there are other tools availabale and may consider investing a little bit to get more. Thanks for the tip Gazza purple people eater
