A Word of Warning Regarding the New Artwork Feature in iTunes 4
In the iLounge boards, “tntracy” has discovered that adding artwork to songs increases the file size. What’s worse, deleting the artwork does NOT return the file size to normal - one must re-rip the song to get the song’s file size back to normal.

Actually, if you get info (Apple-I) on the track, then go to the artwork pane (far right on the top), then click delete with the artwork selected, it should fully delete the artwork without need for re-ripping the track. This works both with AAC and MP3.

Yeah, I did that Cozzie. But even after deleting the artwork, the larger file size remained. I tested this several times, and even rebooted my iBook after deleting the artwork. The file size (MP3) remained the larger size that it grew to after I had added the artwork.

That’s strange Tom. On my iBook the file size of the MP3 returned to the original size (before the artwork was added). I guess it works for some, but not others.

Will the old artwork remain if I replace with a new artwork file???
I have replaced some files with artwork of smaller size, am I simply adding even more size to the pre-existing size???
