Part of it came from wherever iTunes gets the artwork from when it searches, but a lot of it was missing, so I took the time, a lot of time, to make sure each song had the proper artwork. I have about 4500 tunes in my personal library and needless to say was a bit ticked when a lot of it was missing. I am happy to report that some of it has come back as the songs play (I use party shuffle when I listen), but some hasn't returned. I have been watching for missing artwork as the songs appear in the display and for the missing ones I have been going into the library and pulling up that album. Usually by clicking on info for the first song in the album, the artwork will then reappear, but that hasn't worked for every one that is missing and I suppose I will just have to find a good image on the web yet again to fix them. > > In 7.7.1, some aiff files would accept iTunes Artwork, some not.

Being a musician is your ear that good to hear the difference between aiff and 192 bit MP3? I would think a decent sized collection would take some serious HD space using that format.
