[Apple iPod] Re: Getting artwork problem

Well, let's not despair, in this case I would delete the music files
on Itunes, then add them again.

Did you try to add other pictures to the same music files?

Or add that picture to other music files that did go ok with other
pictures? - to see were the problem is located - music files or
pictures?
