I grew tired of missing album artwork in iTunes. Now I put my own jpg file with each song in the iTunes. This is what I do: I highlight all the imported songs, delete the downloaded artwork, and add a jpg as artwork.
Does the album art actually stored with each song file (like Apple Lossless or mp3)? The Album Artwork folder is actually useless for me and does not need to be back up at all?
Thanks for your help.
Mac mini 2018 or later
The artwork cache differs between iTunes and Music in Catalina/Big Sur, but the app needs the cache, whether or not images are embedded in the tags. When you add your own images they will usually get embedded unless there is some form of permissions problem that prevents the change. You cannot add artwork to tracks in .wav format. See Repair security permissions for iTunes/Music for Mac - Apple Community if needed.
