If your songs have album art in iTunes then you could do it manually. In many different ways.

The easiest way I just found was this. Keep in mind that in Leopard the album art is displayed when selecting the file in the Finder using list view.

Use cmd+ctrl+shift+4 to to get the crosshairs for taking a screen clip. Click and drag them across the artwork displayed in the Finder and let go of the button. This puts the image in the clipboard. Select the album folder icon and get info. Click the folder icon in the get info window and then paste the clipboard in the folder icon with cmd+v.

Seems like a lot but it goes quick.

I thought I was anal with my Library. This is time you will never get back my friend.
