I am new to using a computer for storing my music. I have been copying my CDs to one of the hard drives in my desktop computer using iTunes. For most of the albums I can get the artwork through the iTunes store, but for 20% I get nothing. Is there some other way to get this missing artwork that will work with the iTunes library? Also, the copies of my JVC XRCDs are skipping. Is that normal using Apple Lossless. Should I use a different format?

You can manually add album artwork to your iTunes library. For a specific album, under the Edit tab, choose Get Info. Then search for your album artwork online -- Amazon.com is a great resource for this. Then just drag and drop the artwork into the Artwork box in the Get Info window for that particular album. That's all there is to it. As for the skipping XRCDs, I’m not sure why they would be doing that. Do make sure you have Error Correction turned on in iTunes. I’ve personally had no issues with using Apple Lossless for any discs I’ve ripped. . . . Jeff Fritz
