Anyway, the older and faster method is still around you just have to know the "trick". The fact that you can still get to the feature by pressing the Option key indicates that the changes were by design. It could be part of the big package of iTunes GUI changes that have troubled many users. Maybe Apple meant to make this change, or perhaps it was an oversight. You can see both versions below: the current "improved" design and the "hidden" old version that you can restore by pressing the Option key. Just hold the Option key down before you select "Get Info" to bring back the old GUI that lets you drag and drop your album art right into iTunes. I dragged the jpg image into it, it displayed there, and the box became checked. The album art window in the 'Get Info' window is very small and in the lower right hand corner with at check box next to it. It takes more steps to add the album art, and who knows why Apple made the change.ĭon't despair! The old tried and true method is still there, but hidden. Now, I should say that I first tried to highlight about 3 albums by this artist to use the same album art on all of them.

Doing the same sequence now gets you a newly designed dialog box that wants you to load the graphic from a location - no more drag and drop. That all changed in iTunes 12, for reasons that escape me. You could Google the album art, then simply drag the album cover from the web page to the designated spot after selecting all the album tracks and doing a "Get Info" (Command-I) from the File menu of iTunes.

Until version 12 arrived, it was a pretty simple process. I am very dedicated to getting the proper album art on the hundreds of CDs I've put into iTunes.
