Probably something most people knew but, being new to QS I didn't. I
was having a problem with the iTunes artwork not displaying with the
iTunes plugin for QS so I finally found out that it only displays
artwork that is EMBEDDED in the song and this doesn't happen with the
"Get Album Artwork" that iTunes uses. This merely puts the artwork in
a folder and then iTunes references it when playing. Anyway, I found
this script that will take the artwork and embed it into the songs.
That way you can see the artwork when using notifications or browsing.
It can be found here:

Hope this helps somebody. Figured I would save somebody else from
pulling there hair out.

thats strange, coz i never "embedded" any artwork (i.e. my artwork
lies in the folder in the itunes library and referenced from there),
but Quicky always managed to pull it up for any song... could it be an
interface related problem? i use Showcase (well, worked fine with
Bezel/Cube et al) ... anyways, watever works :)

Nice, thanks man. I never knew that that's how iTunes organizes the
artwork...
I was curious about manually applied album artwork (artwork copied
from online,) because the script seems to apply only to iTunes-store-
supplied artwork.
Thanks.

Sorry, never mind. Apparently it works on that manually-set artwork.
It's just this one specific album that's giving me trouble... I'm
really bummed too--it's one of my favorite albums that I play all the
time, and every time I play it I'm horribly reminded of that fact that
I fail at finding the answer.
The worst part is that i've tried everything... copying the files --
free of artwork-- into a seperate folder, deleting them from itunes,
then dragging them back in didn't work and neither did a bunch of
combinations. And there's two really strange things I've noticed about
this one album:
1. When I add it to iTunes and it copies it into the music folder, it
appends an underscore "_" to the end of the album name.
2. Clear Downloaded Artwork functions half the time.
Gah, this is fustrating. Any advice?

Pretty sure that if you've embedded the artwork, this would work for
you. You simply have to convert the id3 tags to either v2.3 or v2.4 by
right-clicking on the tracks and choosing "convert id3 tags"
Have fun!
