Amazon. Just right-click on the album cover you want and "Save as picture..." Make sure you save it with the required name and in the right format for whatever you're using. Usually if you save it a cover.jpg in the music folder it will update your ipod when you synch.

cheers for that,presume its the same for MAC?

Would have thought so.

No need to do all of that

copy the image from amazon/wiki using ctrl click (mac), then in iTunes have the song or album open in info, or song highlighted and paste or 'cmd v' in the box on iTunes info or bottom left corner

No need to do that................... just google the album..click images at the top of the page, then drag the picture into your album artwork in itunes......... once mac you never go back.

That's the way I do it too. By far the cheapest and easiest way to do it, specially for the Harry Potter ones.

For modern thrillers (I do like a good murder) you could try Michael Connolly, James Patterson, Jeffrey Deaver - Scott Mariani writes about an ex-SAS chap who rescues kidnap victims they are well written and gripping stories. Bernard Cornwell's books are well written - the Sharpe series that as been on TV or the Saxon Chronicles about vikings in Britain (sounds dull but very good stories and very well-researched so all the facts are right).

Classics - Alexander Dumas - The Three Musketeers or The Count of Monte Christo. Anthony Hope - The Prizoner of Zenda or Oscar Wilde - The Picture of Dorian Grey.

Wouldn't suggest a bloke trying Jane Austen and steer well clear of Thomas Hardy - he's impossible to read. I haven't managed to finish one of his yet (but my friend loves him but then she'd wierd).
