is there any way of adding album artwork yourself?
out of all the albums I have on iTunes, only one has a picture with it 
I can't set up an iTunes store account as I don't have a credit card for verification 
am I being too hopeful that Apple might allow me to do it without spending money?

if you don't work it out, try doing it in media player then import it into itunes. as media player saves the details to the file itself, whereas itunes saves it to its own database. in media player you can also copy the cd cover from google images and just paste it as the album art. not sure if you can do this is itunes.
i also don't know whether itunes will import the artwork so try it on afew first, problem being you'll have to import all your music again after you've sorted all the artwork in media player 
i'll have a go tonight, but i'm at work now

ive added using info>artwork then select the file saved on your computer
but although this adds artwork for the album in the cover view, it only adds it for that one song when u play it on the ipod.
is there anyway you can make it be the cover fr all songs without selecting it for every track?

no not manually, but if you use the artwork importewr i showed above it works wanders, you just select all the songs from the album and search amazon for it at a touch of a button

Go to google, type in the album you want on images. Find the picture you want.
Then, go to itunes, and press ctrl + G (Apple + G for mac) This will open up the album artwork bit at the left
Then just simply drag and drop into the box. SORTEDDDDD

Doesn't iTunes have that feature that automatically gets the artwork for all the albums it can find them for?
edit: Advanced -> Get Album Artwork

It's called
"the best of the nineties... so far"
nineties might be 90s.
The cover is white and blue, sort of bubble pattern
