Honestly, it's probably easier to just run an applescript like this
one on your entire music collection, and it'll copy the artwork from
iTunes internal store into the id3 tag:
(*
"Embed Artwork" for iTunes 7 or better
written by Brian Webster
- v1.1 sept 25 2006
- added routine to check for a selection, account for de-selection of
tracks (D.A.)
- v1.0 sept 25 2006
- initial release
*)
tell application "iTunes"
if selection is not {} then
set sel to selection
with timeout of 300000 seconds
repeat with aTrack in sel
repeat with anArtwork in artworks of aTrack
if downloaded of anArtwork is true then
set theData to data of anArtwork
set data of anArtwork to theData
end if
end repeat
end repeat
end timeout
else
display dialog "Select some tracks first..." buttons {"Cancel"}
default button 1 with icon 2 giving up after 15
end if
end tell
