ITMS is the iTunes Music Store.

In iTunes, under the Advanced menu, there's the option to grab Album  
cover art for your music library. Should work for CDs you have ripped  
yourself, as well as music you purchase from the iTunes Music Store.  
The album cover art is used when you display your music in Cover Flow.

If you have a large music collection, it will take some time to grab  
the album art. You could do it incrementally, a few albums at a time.  
In some cases, the iTunes Music Store will not have the cover art.
