Why is iTunes Library Manager making back ups of the “Album Artwork” folder (iTunes 7 or better) for each library?
Album art in iTunes 7 is handled differently than in past versions. If you use the CoverFlow feature, or download artwork from iTunes Store, iTunes creates an “Album Artwork” folder in which to store artwork files. These artwork files are coordinated using, among other things, the Persistent Library ID of your iTunes library. Since you can have multiple libraries, each library could have different Persistent Library IDs (or, copies of libraries with the same Persistent Library ID may have different tracks), and thus the artwork can not be coordinated effectively. By making sure that each library is backed up with its associated “Album Artwork” folder, your artwork will be coordinated correctly.
