iTunes Cover Art

Hi,

 

I'm about to import my music hard drive into iTunes. Now, I may want to back this up at some point, so I was wondering if there's a way of storing the cover .jpg in the root of a particular album, so that iTunes will 'see' this when I import the album again. Sometimes when I click on a tune, it brings the cover straight up, but all there is in the dir is a Thumbs.db file from my Win days.

 

Hope I've made myself reasonably clear?

 

TIA,

 

Andy

I don't know how it works for songs downloaded from iTunes, but all of my MP3s have the album art embedded in the file itself. If I import album art directly from iTunes to a ripped MP3, the artwork is stored in a folder separately. However, if I do a "get info" of the song, cut the album art, and repaste it, the album art is embedded into the file itself rather than being stored in a folder.

 

If you're working with .aac files, this could be a totally different story.
