CDDB: No artwork downloaded with tracklisting

I seem to get very few artwork images downloaded with tracklisting when CD info is requested from CDDB.
Do they have a low hit rate or is something wrong with my default settings.
For instance Led Zep, How the west was won...no image, this is hardly a rare CD.
Any thoughts ???

Not too sure why.

However, you can use Google images or Amazon to get the ones CDDC doesn't get.

I found this:

As far as I was aware the CDDB only does the text info, I have never had cover art added too an album using it, I use Amazon or Discogs.com

That's right Chris, you need to get a program to do it if you want it all automated, but I think it costs

Thanks from "idiot of the week" !!!!.
The replies received have made me realise that SonicStage when establishing "my library" incorporated existing albums and artwork recorded by MusicMatch Jukebox plus albums recorded by SonicStage. I was assuming that SonicStage was retreiving album artwork on a hit and miss basis based on a combined library (some with images/some without) not appreciating that SonicStage was not intended to retrieve artwork.
But you replies have also suggested other sources than currently used Google,(images) as a source reference, which is helpful.
Many thanks for your replies.
