Import Album Art from WMP (Hidden .jpg File) to Itunes.IPod

Currently, I have 1700 songs in .mp3 format and use WMP 10. All songs are sorted by Artist folder => Album folder. Within each Album folder, there are hidden .jpg files (album art). I know that Itunes uses ID3 format for album art - so my question is this: what is the easiest way (less human intervention) to get my album art to Itunes. Is there a bridging software I can use?? Should I convert the.jpg files to ID3?? Is there a importer script which converts the files?? Thanks for you help.

Dell, Windows XP, WMP 10

Isn't the file name for the jpg always the same (e.g. "Folder.jpg")? If so, you can use this program:
http://mp3tag.de/en/index.html

Select the folder with all your songs. Select all the songs in the list, then hit SHIFT ALT5 and select "Import cover from file" and click OK. Type the file name (Folder.jpg) and click OK. It will automatically embed the artwork.

Thank you so much, it worked like a charm - I would have hated to download album art again!!! Thanks again for your help.

One quick question - should I be converting each album one at a time or can I do my whole music library (My Music folder) at once??? How will the utility know which .jpg to use???

P.S. The file mane for the album art is always the same - "folder.jpg"
