Hey all.

I seem to be having a problem with my album artwork in iTunes. Now, I'm a pretty clumsy person when it comes to taking care of my music on my mac. I won't go into details, but lets just say thank god for senuti!

Anyway, the most recent problem happened yesterday, so I had to delete all my music off my mac and transfer everything over from my iPod using senuti. Wheil for the most part everything transfers ok, there's always the same selection of songs that never get their album artwork transferred.

Its not just with senuti. Say if I put all my music on a USB key to transfer it to another computer, those same songs (around 30%) of my music doesn't hold onto its album artwork when its transferred.

Since I like everything very organised, that means manually going through each song and adding the artwork myself. And considering the amount of times I've accidently messed up my music folders, this takes a while!

Anyway, I was wondering is there any particular reason why those certain songs never hold onto their artwork for occasions like this? I've looked into the file types but the vast majority are the exact same as the ones that are able to keep the album artwork. Is it something to with where I'm saving the artwork to (I just copy and paste an image online into the artwork box in the bottom left of iTunes).

It would be handy to have all my artwork intact next time I need to transfer music or grab it from iPod using Senuti.

Thanks in advance.
