This means: if other software doesn’t have special code to look inside the iTunes database, it doesn’t know of the artwork’s existence. I’ll demonstrate the problem to make this more practical. … it worked! But what if I open the files in a different music player? Here, I try foobar2000: There’s no artwork, so I try Get Album Artwork and… Here’s iTunes, with a newly imported album, Bomb the Bass’s Enter the Dragon (the first album I purchased, in case you were wondering!). This is a general problem which affects all software that accesses iTunes files. It doesn’t matter if it’s another piece of software on your Mac, a player on your phone, a hi-fi controller, a cloud based music locker… none of those things knows how to look inside iTunes’ database, so the artwork cannot be seen. I should add one thing: if you rip a CD with iTunes, this will embed the artwork into your library so other software can see it. It’s odd that Apple chose to embed the artwork with one option and not the other… but there you go.
