Jason Clarke of our sister blog Download Squad was fed up. He'd tried several cover art import utilities for iTunes over the years and found he'd run into a new problem with the release of iTunes 7 -- which includes its own cover art utility -- "I began to find that the images that were coming up for some of my songs were completely incorrect. At first it didn't concern me too much, but when it reached a point where one in five songs had the wrong album art, I started to get annoyed."

Annoyance is often the key to discovery, and for Clarke it was no different. He's spent considerable time trying to clear the errant artwork but kept coming up short, "I couldn't believe that there would be no way in iTunes to clear embedded album artwork from an MP3 file. It took some digging, but I finally figured it out. Maybe I'm the only person that is interested in this particular feature of iTunes, but it took me a while to find it, so I'm writing it up here in the hopes it helps someone else."

Nice work Jason! His tutorial on fixing your album cover art is a resource I couldn't pass up the chance to point out. So, what are you waiting for? Take the time this Friday afternoon to take control of your iTunes cover art, for good!
