So... where does all those Artwork pictures for the albums in iTunes stored? I would like to find out about this so that when I have to do a clean install once Panther is out, I won't have to look for all these album pictures again...

Thanks,

They're actually stored as tags inside the music files themselves.

Really? So that's why I can't seem to find it when I looked everywhere.

So does that means like if I backed up the whole iTune folder like I've always do when I back up my songs, the album pictures will also be backed up as well?

Thanks,
