Unless Apple changed this recently, iTunes did NOT embed artwork in the ID3 tags, but kept it in it's own directory. The only time it embeds artwork into ID3 is if you manually add the artwork yourself. There is an Applescript (link below) that will go through and embed artwork into the ID3 tags from the iTunes artwork directory. It doesn't seem to reliably work for me, but I have my library duplicated in a number of places, so I may have confused myself!

Note- applescripts only work on the OS/X version of iTunes.

Yes that is iTunes v7.5.0.20 (and I just checked a minute ago and it is the latest). The tags are shown as v2.2 as I say -What do you expect from a company that hard wires your battery so you can't replace it!!!!???? The tag editor does a reasonable job allowing a "part of compilation" tick box and Album Artist selection to get around the Album of many artists being listed as "n" albums with one track all with the same cover art. It grieves me but I have to admit it is a clean,good looking and easy to use interface for your mp3s etc.

Now I just need Canola2 (or one of the other players) to see the embedded art, or it looks like a long night creating album art in manual folders.
