Are you adding them from files or via ripping?
They should be looked up automatically upon ripping.
If you are just adding files, other apps may or may not store cover art in the file's tag.
iTunes for instance does not, it just stores it in it's database.
MC will do that, and also optionally store it in the file tag so you won't need to do that again in the future with other apps for example.
If you have a bunch file files that you imported, you can look under the playlists->smartlists->Audio --Missing cover art
select them all
and do the right-click get cover art from internet option
that will do them all at once.

i put a CD in the Mac Disc drive. The icon for the album shows up on screen. i open the icon and each song file name appears. i select and drag the song icons to the Mac's hard drive and place them in a folder I name for the artist, ie, hard drive/Pink Floyd/wish you were here/song icons.
should i be doing this another way?

I would use MC to rip the CD using the CD drive entry in Drives and Devices in the left MC tree.
It will then lookup the cover art when the CD's are ripped and encoded. You can choose your encoding type and file placement there.
Apple Music might fight with MC for control of the drive, you might have to disable the Mac from opening Music by default for CD's.

I've used Google Images to look up missing album art for many of my albums. Downloaded the album picture and copied the file into the folder containing the album. Then added the file in the album art windows by directing it to the file through the Finder. No more missing artwork :)
