Andy, I#8217;m up to SC 7.5.0 now. And I#8217;ve noticed that this
feature to interpret and import album art from iTunes works for the
most part. Although, I have noticed that
Rather than bloat up all my tracks with images, I used Doug's Save
Album Art applescript to save a 300x300 version of the cover art as
cover.jpg and a 100x100 version of the file as thumb.jpg which SC
is happy to use.
I was happy to hear that SC can now extract album art from iTunes
directly,
why do you need two?
why not just have SC use cover.jpg?

It looks like my problem is very different. My log file contains 300+
lines with the following error message:

Figuring that it couldn't hurt, I decided to run the AppleScript as per
kmr's suggestion. The artwork was re-embedded, and now it works!
I'm guessing that there is a bug in either Gimmesometune or SC that
resulted in this behavior.

Well, if you look at the log files in the original thread,

It's absolutely brilliant that 7.3 pulls art from downloaded artwork
folder, since embedding artwork in every track causes serious bloat.
However, I notice that the artwork only appears to be associated with
the first track of each album. Not exactly a bug, but it would be
lovely if SC recognized

Do you use iTunes COM or have you finally found out how to identify the
tracks in the iTunes folder hierarchy?

On Windows it will be COM. On OSX it's AppleScript. Two distinct solutions, and
none for Linux.

The 'embed artwork' script at Doug's Scripts does all of the things
you're asking for. It took about 5 minutes to download and install and
just another minute to test on a single CD. It works really well. I
told it to do the rest of my cd's (a little over 400) and went to work.
When I got home
this is awesome software, brilliant contribution!
