I have most of my CD library loaded into iTunes. Is there a way to be able to load cover art images into iTnes if you haven't downloaded the album from iTunes? If so, what are the steps? Thanks!

Just highlight all the pertinent tracks, right click, Get Info, go to the Artwork tab, copy the image from the web source of your choice, paste (CTRL-V), hit OK.

Crazy question. Has anyone ever made custom cover art for each track on a score? I thought about doing this for say Star Wars, Star Trek, etc. Where each track would have a specific image from the film the cue is referencing. That would be pretty cool, but a lot of work!
Yeah, that's insane. I've thought about doing that for the singles on a particular album (why let the cool single covers go to waste?). Then I realized that this, too, was insane.

Yeah, like Shaun said, that would be an insane amount of work. The software tends to resist this type of thing as well. I mean, you can do it, but the software hates it. The only thing I do similar to this is when a CD has two scores and a flip booklet. iTunes will treat it like two separate albums if you do this (although that has more to do with making the album title different for each score), which makes continuous play of the CD tricky. I tried using a different cue on individual titles just to see what would happen a while back and it did not change the main album art, only the tiny icon at the top showing the cue playing. Using a different display configuration might change that and I don’t know how it displays on an mp3 player…didn’t get that far.
With Media Monkey (which I use to back up my collection lossless), you can assign whichever cover image you want to the matching score cue and that will display as the "now playing" art, but the art which goes to identify the whole CD is always the art matched to the first cue. I wouldn't even try to do separate art for each individual cues. I think I tried that with a compilation disc once and the software just kind of freaked out.
Someone might know a trick or work-around but I doubt there is anything that won't involve lots of time and patience and life is too short.

Lemme get this straight. .
Y'all buy physical cds but you don't actually play them?
You put the music into your computer?

What software are you referring too? iTunes allows you to edit each track separately. Also allowing you to use custom cover image for each cue. But yeah it would be a lot of work.
