Try using MP3tag, it accesses various album art databases.

I'll take a stab
My first post!
Okay, I use WMP11. I can collect the songs and group them in an album format. I go into the album view and right click on the album and it will show "Find Album Info" and then automatically begin a search. Usually, it finds what I'm looking for. I then select that album but keep in mind that if the searching feature comes up with multiple options for that album (special editions/imports) you have to click on a box at the top of the window within the window that is the album searching device which says something like "select this choice" and after clicking that box I click on the album that fits my selection. Now, I've just begun using themes, but the Basic theme that came with my Clix2 4gb will display the album cover.
Another way to do it is to highlight all the pertinent songs in WMP11 and right click, and I can't tell you exactly how it comes up, but there are fields that are blank and (I think it's called "meta-tag") and I just fill in the album name along with the Artist and it will update the songs and album info. This is if you don't have it grouped as an album already (sometimes WMP11 does it automatically). Then it is grouped in album format and then you can right click on the album to go through the search feature to obtain the album info.
I cannot tell you how it does it, but the album art appears in the display with the Basic theme and using the method I described above. Needless to say, it was just another SWEET thing I found the Clix2 can do.
I gotta say, I'm just giddy with this device!

im using MP3 tag and currently have all my music organized have fully edited each and every tag for each file. i have a few questions tho....
first...is it possible to sync this program with my iRiver Clix2?
second...where do i find the album covers using MP3tag?
third...does it matter wut size of album covers i get? for example....if i get a one thats 500 x 500 and a one thats 200 x 200, will i notice the difference on my clix2 display screen?

With each new tag you get with MP3tag it should include album art.
If it doesn't just right click on where album art should be in MP3tag and manually put it there.
You don't need to sync it with your clix2, you edit your songs tags and then using your chosen method sync/put your songs onto the clix.
It doesn't matter what size the album art.

I use WMP11 to tag although I really wish I could do multiple Mp3s.
There are lots of sites that I check although I only have a couple that I search for.
1. Google Images
2. CDUniverse.com
3. Amazon.com
4. Wikipedia.org

Hold down shift and select songs and then write click and edit tags.
I used to do that using WMP, to tag multiple files.

To find raw album art the absolute best site I've found is findmycover.com, rarely is something to obscure for it to find (and I relish in the freakishly obscure) and there are generally 3 different album art sizes to choose from.

Under WMP11 and MTP album art is transferred (well for me anyway) automatically as long you have synced WMP online. Using MTP comes with some compromises though.

I have done every song i own with Mp3tag and have had no problems. Its great because you can choose to search for album art from amazon or discogs.

All you need to know is how to search for stuff properly and it's perfect.
