ok, let me address your questions

In MP Configuration, just add the folder, where you store your AIFF music files or any other music file format, you currently maintain via itunes, to the Shares. (Configuration -> Music -> Music Folders)

Once you've done that, navigate to the "Music Database" node and start the Update.

This will read the tags out of your music files and build the MediaPortal Music Database

Sure. MPTagThat doesn't know and even care that iTunes is installed. I'm just taking pictures, that i find in the files itself.

iirc, itunes downloads the artwork, stores them in some folder and references them from it's database.

And because the file doesn't contain the artwork, there's nothing i can do about, besides processing the itunes library and to find out which artwork the file has.

No, the file get's saved, but it has an attribute of hidden. The reason for that is, that the MediaPortal Picture Plugin does not handle the artwork as pictures.

There's one problem tough. I save the file as .jpg, regardless which format it is.

i think i need to convert it first to a jpeg.

No, it is the other way around.

You would use MediaPortal to build the database and then reference this database from MPTagTHat, so that you can edit using the DB View or have the auto completion when editing Artists

I've just added the ability to build a database to MPTagTHat, if for whatever reason someone doesn't use MediaPortal.
