When you add album art, dont add it to the file using a mp3tag editor as you will make the mp3 file bigger, you just want to add the album art using itunes so it stores the images in a image file insted of saving it in the mp3 file

Thanks Tom :-)

I'm pretty sure Itunes stores the image in the mp3 file itself, it's Windows media player that uses a seperate file.

A few online options are:
Itunes Art Importer
Artie

There are a few others but I'm not sure if they'll be allowed here as they offer fullsize high resolution versions which might break copyright.
(You don't want fullsize ones anyway as the filesizes would be bigger)
