Do you need a Itunes account for Album cover to show while your listening to your Ipod?

-I have a album cover on it, but when I play it with Itunes dosn't show up I put it on myself soo do I need a account?No. I embed all my album art myself too. I do not trust anything that will do it automatically. I download it from wikipedia, stash it in the album folder (I only have whole albums not single songs), with the window with the album art open right click on the album in Grid Mode in itunes, left click Get Info, make sure the Info Tab is showing, then drag it over to the box in the lower right, click OK. Now I do not use Automatic Sync. My ipod is in Manual Sync which means that, while still in Grid Mode, I drag it over to the ipod icon in the pane on the left in itunes. Takes about 30 seconds to load the whole album. Shows up just fine in my ipod. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
