Where does everyone get their artwork for all these artists?

Find the jpeg file that you're looking for on one of these webpages, right click on it, and save it to your computer (your desktop will work fine).

Then, just drag the image into your iTunes artwork/video viewer. Artwork that is 200 x 200 pixels will fill the space nicely.

They are all in HTML format and won't drag. That was my question.

Of course, you must save the pictures and not any links or pages.

Ok, i guess i need to be more specific here. I copy them to a directory on my hard drive but when they are copied they are copied as HTML format. How do i size and convert them to fit in i tunes so i tunes will accept them?

If you're using Windows Internet Explorer, all you have to do is right click on the actual image placed on the webpage.

Then select "Save Picture As". This will allow you to save the picture and not the entire webpage.

You do not want to select "Save As" from the menu. That will cause you to save the entire page (or portions thereof) as an html document.
