However, it apparently keeps these images separate from the actual music files and doesn’t add them to the ID3 tags of the music files. As a result, you see the art on your computer but not your iPod (or someone else’s computer).

So I’ve written a quick-and-dirty application to extract these images from where they’re stored in the iTunes directory. The application is written in AppleScript and uses a couple of the UNIX command line utilities to do its work, so you need a Mac with OSX and the BSD Subsystem installed (which is usually installed by default). Sorry, no PC version as a result — but read below if you want to write a similar program for the PC, its really a CS 101 project.
