It's not iLounge or whatever it's called. I had a problem with iTunes
not importing artwork into some MP3 files I'd acquired from legal
download sites. I started a thread on iLounge, to see if anyone had
seen the same problem. Most of the responses were from numpties who
hadn't even bothered to read the post properly, and the other
suggestion was to burn the files to CD and then re-rip them, not the
best suggestion for about 16 hours of audio in total.

I fixed the problem on my own in the end. The problem MP3 files had
been created with both ID3 v1 and v2 tags (version 1 tags sit at the
end of the file, version 2 at the start), and iTunes was getting
confused. By clearing down the ID3 tags completely I was able to
import the artwork.

Thanks for that post. Been looking and had been  wondering if the gang
of iPod users are too new for usenet and more in web forums like
