That could be an explanation. Okay, i just ried this. The Cache folder settled at a much more reasonable 1,9MB. However, as soon as i launch Home Sharing, it starts to grow again: 1,8GB after a quick scroll through my albums which is still almost twice as large as on my main machine. The Remote folder stays relatively unchanged at MB, btw. Of course, the MacBook has a retina screen, so it perhaps generates higher res cache files…. How many tracks in your library? But this is, of course, only a wild guess.
My main library holds 29k songs spread over albums; the MacBook holds 17 songs. I did look at the network activity on my main machine, btw: less than MB were sent while accessing Home Sharing, and none of my music lies in the cloud as i use neither iTunes Match nor Apple Music — and i also never enabled them.
But some covers were definitely created from the Remote folder, as some albums showed older cover art that i have since updated to different images on my main machine. And there is an insane amount of duplicates.
One jpg per song, perhaps? As far as I know, iTunes only caches one image per album; it stores a unique ID for each album in its database, so it can find the artwork for any song. From my investigation, Home Sharing artwork should be in the Remote folder, not the Cache folder.
In the process, I got confused by the crazy difficulty of doing this cleanly. Any way I can peer into the old one to see if some still-missing images are there for me to pick off? Alternatively, can I just drag the old file folder into the new file tree and have iTunes sort out the mess by overwriting and merging? This is a very interesting discussion to me. I am VERY particular about the correct artwork being attached to each song in my library as I am a music nut and historian.
What started happening two years ago was somehow my screensaver started showing the default art that was with any song files that I bought from the iTunes store, even though I manually went into the Info panel and deleted that incorrect artwork and replaced it with the correct artwork.
This is only a problem with purchased song files, all of the other music that I have imported myself is spot on. So, now I am wondering after finding this discussion, would deleting the Cache, and possibly the Cloud Purchases, Download, and Store files finally be the fix to my nagging problem? I have read above that deleting the Cache file is no big deal, as it will rebuild itself. Is this the file responsible for my problem?
Could I also delete the other three files I mentioned with no consequences? Hoping beyond hope that I may have finally drilled down to the source of this annoying issue, and maybe you can help me eradicate it for once and for all. However, deleting those other folders may remove the originals for the purchased music; perhaps you just need to replace them. If that is the case, that may be part of my solution, because I want that artwork gone.
I guess what this is about is finding out where the iTunes library artwork as a screensaver option is sourced from.

User profile for user: iLee iLee. Hi, I've used the original coverflow for ages and therefore have manually added all my albums artwork myself.
I would use Google images, and sinply drag and drop a x pixel image into the get info pane. But where is the artwork stored? Can I access it? Can anyone tell me?

To do this it seems I have to delete the current artwork. How do I do this?
So how do I get rid of the embedded artwork? Anyone know?
