Album Artwork in Apple TV

I recently purchased Apple TV. No problem synchronising with iTunes but some of the artwork for music albums is clearly very low resolution and looks awful on the TV screen. How do I clear album artwork from my iTunes library and reimport it at high resolution?

I have seen posts where it's possible to do this for an individual album or set of songs but I have over 2000 albums and need to do this process for all of them.

Thanks in advance !!

The quickest and easiest method would be to...

1. Select all tracks
2. Clear artwork from all tracks
3. Tell iTunes to download "missing" artwork from the iTunes Store

This approach only works if your tracks are tagged properly, you have an iTunes Store account (it will cost nothing), and the album(s) are on the iTunes Store. Hopefully this would apply to the vast majority of your albums. A notable exception will of course be the Beatles.

The iTunes Store uses 600x600 pixels for its artwork which is nine times the resolution Windows Media Player uses. This should be fine for use on an Apple TV.

Any missing albums would have to be done either manually, or by getting one of the many third-party utilities that find 'missing' artwork for iTunes (usually via Amazon).

Note: Amazon 'only' has 500x500 pixel artwork (as does Walmart).
