Copying iTunes album art
2 Answers
I keep all my digital music on an external drive ready to sync to my iPods
I'm just upgrading to a bigger drive and I am copying all my mp3s from the old drive to the new one
Snag is, the downloaded album art is failing to copy with "Cannot copy file ........ Access is denied. "
Is there a way around this or will I have to download the album art again?
Thanks
