why does iTunes add 200KB to my songs when i add CD Cover Artwork?
Hey everyone,
i want to know why it is that iTunes adds 200KB to all my songs when i add CD Cover Artwork to them? Especially when many of them are from the same CD and share the same picture? Why can't i just store the picture once somewhere on my HD, and then iTunes recieves the artwork from that file, for all the songs? Instead of making a dozen-or-so copies of the same JPEG??
Can anyone help me, it seems so illogical, and it's using precious room on my iPod Mini.

However, this might be one scenario: iTunes converts your jpeg artwork to some high-quality format en route and only then adds it to the song. Just a speculation.
