[Apple iPod] Re: Getting artwork problem

That's easy, go to the Windows file explorer and right-click over
the name of the music file (an mp.3 I suppose), then a window
appears saying at the bottom "Properties", choose it and a new
window pops up, at the bottom you have "Attributes" and 3 boxes to
select (Read Only; Hidden ; Archive), see if Read Only is selected,
if that's the case then de-select it, then the OK box and go to
Itunes, the file should be Ok to be written with the Artwork.
I suppose that Artwork writtes a short preamble at the beggining of
the music files, if that file is write protected the operation is
aborted - the problem is that we don't get any message saying that.
