So today, while talking to my friend Steve Swanson from the Muppetcast podcast, he asked if I knew how to add artwork to his podcast shows without having to use Garageband or meta ID3 tags from scratch. Well, I think we were both puzzled because he knew how to make standard ID3 tags for Artist, Album, Year, Etc… but not to add Artwork. What podcast isn’t complete with a nice piece of artwork!!! Well, I decided to Google and see what Google said, well they were talking about making ID3 tags from scratch….so I decided to open up iTunes and check what you can do here and “BAMM”. I thought, well how do artist add Artwork to there song tracks, well duhhh, by going through iTunes settings and adding it there. So here is a nice basic tutorial on how to add artwork, etc… to your podcast.

  1. Import your podcast .mp3 file to iTunes
  2. Once in iTunes, right click on your .mp3 and click “Get Info”
  3. In “Get Info” fill out all the requested fields you would like and then put in the artwork for your podcast.
  4. Once you are done, click “Done”
  5. Now export your .mp3 or just drag the file to your desktop
  6. Finally, upload your file and now when people download your podcast, it will have Artwork and everything else you are interested in.
  7. Have fun :)
