Importing album art from iTunes onto jukebox

I recently grabbed all my albums from iTunes and dragged them onto a sd card. The albums on iTunes had album art on the PC. I kept all the music in AAC. I imported the music onto the jukebox. All the files and folders work and appear wonderfully. Except for the album art. The album browser in the jukebox only shows music notes on each album as I scroll through them. Anybody know the secret on how to attach album art so it appears on the album browser?

Thanks

Jim

I think I figured this out on my 13 A4 and it now works every single time.

What I do:
- Attach all Album Art using iTunes
- Most important thing to note is to make sure the album art you attach is less than size 800x800, anything bigger than 800x800 will not show up in the jukebox
- I usually search for album art via Google Image, and make sure to select the one that's under the size limit. Since then, every single song shows album art (whether it be stored within SD/Jukebox)

Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply. Is there a way in iTunes to determine the size of the album art and make it less than 800x800? That sounds like the problem. I just import the album art as it appears from iTunes. If you use Google for artwork how do you transfer that image onto the album in iTunes? Sorry for all the questions. But, it sounds like you know your way around the problem.

Thanks

Any album that isn't sold on iTunes Store doesn't have album art available from iTunes.

Thanks so much
