Where is my Album Artwork?

I am noticing a lot of my songs don't have the album artwork any more and even when I go into my iTunes Library and right click on the song and select Get Album Artwork, nothing happens. I used to have ALL art work to all songs purchased in the iTunes Store and songs I got elsewhere or imported from a CD didn't have the art work.

I just noticed that for many of my albums (downloaded from iTunes or ripped from CD's), the first song's album art was missing. I don't know when it started doing this. Since iTunes' Cover Flow gets the graphic from the first song, I got many blank ones in my Cover Flow now.

I frequently encounter the same issue and noticed a pattern: The artwork of the first songs of the first couple of albums in my Library goes missing after the data has been offline during a prior iTunes launch. My Library contents are on an external hard drive, and when iTunes tries to cache/display the artwork and cannot find the resources, they remain missing even when the files are present at a consequent launch. Command-Info seems to force a re-scan and fix the issue.


I believe this qualifies as a bug. Somebody should probably submit this...
