Missing Album Art and Updating iPOD content

If anybody is able to help, I would much appreciate it. I have two things I do not understand about iTunes for Windows.

First, I do a lot of listening to classical albums, and when I try to get the art-work that is included on a CD album that I want to record, I get no artwork, even though a very thorough set of materials otherwise comes through for the album. In contrast, if I try to do the same with Musicmatch Jukebox, usually there is artwork that is found, but frequently the album information is poor. Is there any reason that I do not get the artwork through iTunes? If it is that the particular web resources for iTunes are just not developed enough to have the artwork at this time, is there any way that I can import it into iTunes from the source that Musicmatch Jukebox uses?

Second, when I look at the contents of my iPOD via iTunes, I see all entries greyed out. If I wish to delete an album or track from the iPOD, is there any way that I can highlight that item and delete it? Currently I seem to understand that in order to alter what is in the iPOD, I need to delete an item from the playlist in iTunes and then update the iPOD.

Thank you very much,
Sincerely,
Ed Beach

You have to insert the artwork manually by selecting the appropriate songs, and then dragging an image file into the box where it says "Drag Album Artwork Here." Ahem. There is some program out there that will do this for you, but it's only for Mac right now.

I don't understand your other problem. When I want to delete a song off the iPod, I click the iPod icon in iTunes, find the song I want, right click and select Clear. I confirm the deletion and it's gone. I have iTunes set to manually sync, and I don't use playlists, I simply drag and drop the music straight from the Library onto the iPod icon.
