Re: [Apple iPod] Consilidation problem, second attempt.

If you used Amazon then the artwork is part of the meta data that stays with the mp3 and will move with the mp3. It is only when you tell iTunes to get the artwork that it stores it in another location and does not move with the file.

I have added most of the artwork myself from Amazon.
I will do a test and copy a file or two across and see if the artwork
goes with it.

I guess you would also have to copy the artwork for those music files
too so it would be a little more complicated.

transfer with the mp3 so I quit using it.
