depends

some systems store the album artwork separately, some software embed it in to the mp3 metadata

transfer the first few tracks and see

I think if you transfer your entire iTunes folder (including music, library file, etc) album art should work.

I just tried transferring my iTunes library with a flash drive and my podcasts, etc. are messed up... says it cannot find most of them. Is there something I should be doing in iTunes first?? Has anyone used the backup feeture in iTunes?? Is there a way to force the backup to the flash drive instead of the CD drive??

Thanks,
Kim

i think you have solved my problem. i went into the my computer on the start menu, etc., etc. and opened the iTunes folder and inside it had album artwork the MP3's etc. in sub-folders inside the iTunes one; so im just going to do like you said and copy the folder thanks a million man!
