    iTunes pic issue

    Hello, I have been having issues lately with the album art. I download a lot of podcasts and lately iTunes has been getting the art work mixed up. Normally some podcasts don't have art for each file. Others have one for each chapter. Has anyone seen this before? Any help will be great.
