The newest version of iTunes seems to detect changes to the MP3 files
and synchronises them onto the iPods automatically.

I have a FLAC library with embedded images, and use flac2mp3 to
maintain a shadow library of MP3s since I have too many albums to be
able to fit even a chunk of them on my iPods in lossless format, so
when I change an image in a FLAC file it will be propogated into the
MP3 file automatically.

If I changed tags or images in the old days I'd have to delete the
files from iTunes and then re-import them but I noticed when I built a
new iTunes virtual machine a couple of weeks ago (to get rid of the
performance hit of all the iTunes services running on my PCs all the
time) that the new version automatically updates itself at startup.

It's actually quite slick now, and I can now specify individual albums
that I want synced onto my smaller iPods.

Now if only Apple could get the iPod to understand Album Artist in
Cover Flow in the same (correct) way that iTunes does!
