iTunes album art is where???

[liquidmonkey]

g'day!

i'm wondering where iTunes stores all the album art work it DL's?
i know it doesn't write them to the id tags (which is rucking fetarded) and i would like to back up that folder.

also, is there any 3rd party software that can automatically extract the album art work and write it to my mp3 id tags?

thanks in advance!

just to clarify...
for a PC it is here in case anyone wants to back it up...

C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\My Documents\My Music\iTunes

and yeah the album artwork is ALL OVER THE PLACE in the weird folder structure. there are literally thousands of folders!!! each file is a --- .itc --- file which is only readable by itunes.
