I have a question, I loaded all my artwork via Itunes and everything shows up correctly if I browse my library using winamp. Looks as if itunes embedded all my artwork correctly. Then again, I manually downloaded every cover from amazon and other places and dragged and dropped to every track. So is it safe to assume my artwork will show up correctly on the N900?

Media Monkey is a good product. For about 10 years I've been using Tag & Rename to manage the meta-data in the collection. Timely and useful upgrades are a plus.
have not used it myself but do work with both Windows and MAC together with iTunes as well, will D/L the Trail now actually. and try it out

Mediamonkey is good for this, as others have mentioned, although I had some problems with embedded album art using it.
I use mp3tag now, and get the album art via albumartdownloader, which searches multiple online cover art repositories. I find this combo best since I albumartdownloader lets me choose nice clear images, usually at 600x600 pixels (which is increasingly important as mobile displays keep improving), and because mp3tag just works with everything I've thrown at it - my PS3, WinMo phones (in all three media players on my last WinMo phone too), Symbian, Windows... Its good to have a solution that works when you change OS environs so often...

Thanks a lot people. So far I have not used album art at all, but I might like them enough to go thru my collection and use them in N900. Didn't know how to start amassing the album covers, but now I feel it might actually be very easy.

Ratings stored there too, btw.
Maemo's player show's the album art from id3 tag. Itunes doesn't copy the album art automatically to the id3 tag.
I don't get it, why the itunes doesn't copy all those images automatically to the id3 tag. All other than apple devices are using the id3 tag image album art.
Second, once it is in the meta-data, apple figures WHY write it as a tag too? That wastes space, each art JPG is 100-300K, per SONG, and that adds up to something.
Oh, and they also want you to keep buying ipods! ;^)

Oh, are you sure N900 player doesn't show the album art if it is only as folder.jpg for example? That would be SO much easier...
