Upgrading iTunes Artwork

I want to upgrade the quality of some of the cd artwork in my iTunes library but I cannot delete the old artwork without deleting all of the music tracks as well. How do I delete the existing artwork (not the music) so I can import (click and drag) better quality artwork in.

You should be able to click and drag into the window on the lower left when an album is chosen. The only exception is with WAV files, which, last time I checked, did not support the drag-and-drop method. There is a separate folder in your itunes folder:

Music>iTunes>Album Artwork

But I'm not sure if it's wise to just delete that to start again as I don't know how the file structure works there.

Bring up file and get info. Page pops up

drag over and no go.

What the heck is happening.

Are the CD's you've ripped to iTunes formatted as .WAV files? If so, per my response above, .WAV files will not support that method of drag-and-drop as other formats. If you want to rip in high-rez and use drag-and-drop I'm pretty sure AIFF would work. Apple Lossless certainly works.

The only way I know of to get iTunes to associate artwork to .WAV files is to have iTunes fetch the available artwork via the software. The actual .WAV files do not support metadata the same way the other formats can. iTunes does a sort of runaround of this by creating some sort of path to the artwork via the softare. Unfortunately it does not support drag-and-drop for .WAV
