I am a bit confused about some of the albums in my iTunes library
There is NO place to put Album Art? the tabs in "Get Info" do not have the last two tabs - Lyrics and Album Art
has anyone come across this issue?
The Music plays fine but there is no place to insert album covers.
Is there a Fix to it..? I mean to add the album Art tab ?

Thanks

It probably relates to the ID3 tags, there has been some discussion on this on the Apple forums.

Try this with one of the albums that aren't working for you. Firstly, make a backup copy of the tracks (as we're going to make some changes that you might want to reverse if this doesn't work).

From within iTunes, select the entire album. Right click anywhere in the batch of files you selected (or go to the Advanced menu). There is an option to convert ID3 tags. You'll see a new window pop up. At the top, it lets you select the ID3 Version. Select V2.4. Click OK, and then try to add the art.

If this doesn't work, try using "none" as the ID3 tag version.

If this still doesn't work or the files mess up, you can delete and reimport the backup copies you made earlier.

Try it on your least favorite album first. Good luck!

Select all songs on album - that is highlight them
Then command/apple + I
Window opens - right side check in album art
Drag album art in square box
Click ok - should solve the problem...

I think the OP tried that... There are some circumstances in which iTunes won't let you add art to certain tracks, and he's encountering some of them here. The tracks in question have the album art tab missing in the "get info" window, and when this happens you can't add art using either drag and drop or manually adding it via "get info".
