I use a single file in album directory for my lossless but I embed the
art in each mp3 file (i.e., the mp3 copies I make of my lossless FLAC
files for use on iphone, etc.).  In terms of embedding art in each file
(I assume you use Apple Lossless if using itunes), you can use mp3tag or
dbpoweramp to embed art in a batch manner. But these run on Windows
machines.  On a manual basis, within itunes, just right click the
file(s), [and from memory] go to file properties, etc. click on the
artwork tab, then right click and paste the art you want to be embedded.
