You can import any picture as "artwork" -- just get it onto your computer
somewhere to import into itunes.
I've used scanned-in pictures as well as pictures copy/pasted from websites.

Depending on what version of iTunes you have on mine right click on the song
choose get info a box with come up with tabs, artwork has a window where you
can drag
a photo, like 640x640 or something like that size
the info tab you can add the other data you want.
not too hard once you get the hang of it.

My 2nd gen Nano & 5th gen click-wheel iPod work just fine on Win7 with
latest iTunes. Both models are vintage 2006-2009; I think I got them in
2006/2007.
BTW, the change in *over the air* tv wasn't the "cable system" it was the US
Gov -- requiring a change to digital transmission, after *years* of warning;
older (analog-only) TVs can use a converter box & external rabbit ears.
BTDT. Some cable companies went to all-digital & require a box for each
set; others still let you plug the cable directly into the tv -- at least
for a while, I have no idea what that landscape is like now.
Cell phone companies also upgraded from analog to digital; there was an
overlap, it didn't happen overnight and it's been some years.
Did you check if that radio station put out what you want in downloadable
MP3 that you can sync to your ipod?

BJ – What tends to happen is when you have to get a new computer, as the old
one is 8 years old and costs more to fix, than replace, you end up with a
different operating system on your new computer, that isn't compatible with
a 5th Generation iPod Classic. I only got my 5th Generation iPod about a
year ago. So sometimes the reason you can't use a device isn't because you
want it to do something more than it's capable of. My van is 13 years old
and still functions too, and I still have use of an older TV, but one day,
the cable system will change something that will make that TV obsolete, as
it already happened to one of our older ones. Things quit working when the
electronics that feeds it ceases to exist. I've had two wonderful cell
phones, that had to be replaced because AT&T upgraded their towers, and my
old phones wouldn't work anymore. So that's happened twice to me with cell
phones. I only had them about a year, each. So this is something that
happens easily through no control of your own. I'm glad you haven't had to
experience this yet.
