please correct me if I am wrong and you have found a way to match an itc from the "download" folder to a song in the itunes library
yeah i have done all my tests with artwork from the downloaded folder and have been able to extract the persistentId. i have yet to actually test it by matching them to the album only because i have been spending so much time trying to actually extract the image data itself.

I no longer use the itc file directly. I use leopards quicklook framework which will work for any song downloaded art or not. But when i did all i did was read the itc file into memory and extract the image portion into a new image object
that is what i am attempting to do now. AIR gives me a nice tool to look through a directory to get all the files inside, and i can write out new files, problem is that in trying to write out the new files the images will not display. i am trying to do a seek and destroy of the .itc files so i can then be done with them and move on with my life. anyway if you have any ideas or methods to do that, i would really appreciate the help
