i just realized by adding album art (about 15kb per image) the file size increases by about 200 - 400 kb in iTunes!!

thats ridiculous. try it you self. if esp if you have an ipod like i do, it cuts down on space big time. i get a lot of covers from covertarget.com but this is getting to take up to much space.

Since album art and lyrics are stored in the song file, adding either will increase the size of the file by the same amount as the material (art or text) that you are adding.
