Getting covers from iTunes Store

I am usually a bit of nerd in that I want to be very accurate in tagging my songs correctly, so that I can download the right album covers from the iTunes Store. Having recently switched from PC to Mac I find that it is harder than usual.
I have found out, that in order to get the album images, I have to put the artist's name and the name of the album EXACTLY as it is written in the iTunes store. As far as I know none of the other fields in the ID-tags matter. But now it seems as that even isn't enough. Even though I write commas, spaces, parenthesis and everything exactly as it is in the iTunes store, I only get a message about that no covers could be found.
Latest example:
Song title: F**k you
Artist: Lily Allen
Album name: It's not me, it's you
Year 2009
Track no.: 8 of 14
Disc: 1 of 1
Genre: Pop
All other fields left blank. Even though I wrote it exactly as it is in the iTunes Store, I can't get the cover downloaded. And this is just one of many more.
Has anyone got any helpful hints and tricks?
All the best,
Mr. Moonlight

As Lily would say, it isn't you, it's iTunes. Go to this web page, copy the artwork and paste it into the file.

    All the music from iTunes Store aren't protected. You can search the web for a site that sells protected music.

  • Do you have to have a credit card to get artworks from iTunes Store?

    Do you have to have a credit card (or another pay option in order to register an account) to get artworks from iTunes Store?

    No, but signing up without one is slightly tricky. See HT2534 - Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account without a credit card.
    If you've already created the Apple ID that you want to use and are now being pestered for a credit card try the method given here. If you use this I'd be interested to know how you get on because I haven't yet had the time to try it myself.

  • HT203200 I am getting error from Itunes store, what does this mean?

    I am getting an error message from the Itunes Store.  The error: Ox80092013, what does this mean?  I cannot access my account.

    This site provides more information.  Best for older machines.  Note, serial number is sent in the clear.
    "A serial number is a unique, identifying number or group of numbers and letters assigned to an individual piece of hardware or software. It's used for various things depending on the product / brand but what is your Mac's serial number for and more importantly... what is it hiding and what can it do for you ?"

  • Getting Artwork from iTunes Store

    Surely it would make sense that you should be able to copy any artwork straight from the store rather than every mp3 having to be exactly or almost exactly like the iTunes version. This would solve a lot of problems as i have to go to Amazon for some of my albums because iTunes doesnt recognise them.

    I have the exact same problem. I've painstakingly renamed my HALO and HALO 2 soundtracks to match what iTunes has, and it only recognizes the songs in HALO. Even though it will take me directly to the HALO 2 page, it refuses to recognize the album. Come on Apple, you need to relax the criteria. It's too strict.

  • How can I get all of my music onto my iphone 5 from itunes on my computer, when it is only syncing the music i purchased from itunes store directly?

    Everything was fine until I got a USB drive from a friend to download a new album onto my itunes from her.  I struggled to get the music synced onto my iphone 5, but it got into itunes fine on my laptop.  So I ended up resyncing the whole device, and apparently this means it only could transfer the songs that I had bought from itunes, and none of the previous music I had from cds, etc that I had added to itunes by myself over the years.  Now on itunes it has a cautin sign for every single non itunes purchased song saying it does not know where to find the song and can not play it.  My iphone now only has 43 songs (the ones I bought from itunes store) and is missing the other 2000 I have.  Does anyone know how to fix this for me???? I am desperate!  I'm using windows 8 on this new laptop and am beyond confused!
    Also it might be important to note that I had itunes on an older laptop and within the past year i have transfered everything to a new laptop, so perhaps since the original music folders were on the old laptop, it cant find them? I don't know, I am not great with technology, but desperate please!!!

    Copy everything form your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.

  • I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book

    I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book back as i have already paid for it once and i would not like to pay for it twice.

    If you haven't got a backup copy and if it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (there is no guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • How can I get music REMOVED from iTunes Store?!

    I manage a band who has never been signed to a record label however, they had a distribution deal which has since expired and the company went under. Apparently they put a CD up of my band on iTunes Store and items look to have been purchased as the Popularity "meter" is maxed out on some. Where the money is going outside of Apple's cut... who knows. But how can I get my band's music removed from iTunes' Store? I can't find contact numbers anywhere. Thanks for any help!!
    Rachel

    I forgot to mention that the distributors with who we have an expired contract are no where to be found. yikes.
