When copying files over network, or even locally, with Artwork downloaded from iTunes, its not preserved in the file.

This causes issues when moving music between Mac's (second Mac is hosted Mac mini running iTunes and Home sharing), since this is without a display, i login via screen sharing

However now i need to fix up artwork by replacing "blank" songs i choose to choose get info and replace in the file rather than copy over an external artwork folder Apple downloads to..

This is however is the problem since every time i open up iTunes on both machines,,, select the album(s), choose Getinfo>> Artwork, select and copy (Command-C) and try to paste it to the other (Command-V) in the Get info Artwork pane of the same song/album, screen sharing always crashes.

This to me is the most logical approach, sine the albums are all intact on the other mac, they play just fine,, just the artwork needs to be added and it must be done within the file.. I can easily scan itunes in album view and see which are "blank" But seems due to screen sharing i cannot do this even though shared clipboard is checked.

Anyway i can just get the artwork copied over via remote session?

I thought of other ways to do this, but always came back to screen sharing since it the easiest..
