I don't know why you'd want to do this on any kind of regular basis, but I thought it was kinda fun for a Friday afternoon. I wanted to see if I could save artwork from iTunes Radio tracks, but it works with whatever the current track is:
tell application "iTunes"
try
if player state is not stopped then
set alb to (get album of current track)
tell artwork 1 of current track
if format is JPEG picture then
set imgFormat to ".jpg"
else
set imgFormat to ".png"
end if
end tell
set rawData to (get raw data of artwork 1 of current track)
else
return
end if
on error
display dialog "Problem getting track info." buttons {"OK"}
return
end try
end tell
try
set baseLoc to choose folder
on error
return
end try
set newPath to ((baseLoc as text) & alb & imgFormat) as text
try
tell me to set fileRef to (open for access newPath with write permission)
write rawData to fileRef starting at 0
tell me to close access fileRef
on error m number n
log n
log m
try
tell me to close access fileRef
end try
end try
Open that in Script Editor and "Save..." it as "Save Current Track's Artwork" (or whatever) in your ~/Library/iTunes/Scripts/ folder. Whenever a track is playing, you can launch it to choose a folder in which to save the current track's artwork. Great way to fill up your desktop with effluvia. (I'm kidding. But it would be good for that.)
