I worked long and hard to get all of the album artwork for my collection and now that I've upgraded to 8.0, half of it's missing! All of this for genius? Yeah, real genius losing my artwork, way to go Apple. I haven't been privileged to the genius of iTunes 8 (I've ordered Tiger for my PowerMac 8500/9500, and I haven't touched my Leopardized Quicksilver 2002 yet) ... but is all your artwork coming from the iTunes Store? When it searches to Get Album Artwork ... would it replace that which is already there? Just curious ... 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. And I had to allow copying of those aiffs to the iTunes Library folder, before it would accept artwork from any source. Guess going from 7.7.1 to 8 offers more surprises ... Bill Connelly Now I'm curious as to why your collection is in the form of aiff? 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.

This puzzles me a bit. What exactly do you mean by the iTunes Library area? Just putting it in your library doesn't mean you have to move the actual files. Under preferencesadvanced just uncheck the box which directs iTunes to copy files added to the library to the music folder. This is always the first thing I do on any new OS install. My files reside on my file server back in another room so naturally I don't want them moved either. Yes ... I'm able to hear the difference ... I usually encode at 256 bit mp3, too ... mainly because I just don't want to miss anything ... and I walk my dog using over the ear headphones ... yes, a bit geeky looking ... I'm going for sound, not sight ... Not geeky to me, I hate those earbuds! They won't stay in and the sound is not that good either. I only use the over the ears type also. I also believe there are sounds that we humanoids cannot hear ... that may possibly push around those we can hear ... so affect what we do hear ... Well ... something like that ... Bill Connelly Also agree on this, but so far my ears have not been able to tell the difference between an MP3 encoded at 192 bits and the real thing. Now I can definitely hear a difference at 128 and 160 sometimes, but never been able to at 192. I use a Sansa e280 mp3 player at work, upgraded to 16 gb, and in order to accommodate my entire collection, I found it necessary to re- encode to music into 96 bit wma files. The sound is good enough to drown out the constant chattering of the women to work near me. Sorry ladies, nothing personal, even the other women who work there complain about these two!

Well ... something like that ... Did you know that iTunes and import music and leave it in aiff format? I have been slowly (very slowly) ripping my LPs using a decent Denon turntable and Hafler preamp and an iMic. I save them in aiff format and import them into iTunes in that format. Now I will admit that I do not have an MP3 player so the space issue is not as critical, but I can hear the difference between a ripped file at 192 and the original aiff burned to a CD and played in my car (at least when stopped). And yes, I also believe the sounds and harmonics above and below the range of human hearing do affect what you actually hear.

Another thing. It only does the specific playlist and selection, so to do your entire music collection you need to be in your Music and then select all and only THEN run the iTunes Art-less script. I'm happy to report that all my iTunes artwork is now back in place. Ended up only having to download a couple of images. Just had to click the next button about a million times and click on get info when an image was missing. This got most of them back, but sometimes I had to play around with show in finder and then click on play in iTunes. Now the random song switch has returned. Song will be playing fine and then all of a sudden in the middle of the song it will switch to the next song.
