Thanks to user Sbleam for your suggestion. I did download that script from the Sonos site and got the artwork for about 30% of my albums. Since it's an iTunes script, I'd figured it'd work for my Squeezeboxes as well.
However, it usually doesn't embed the artwork in the Albums browse field (Home > My Music > Albums) but it does so in the Now Playing field, but often not for every song in the album. Also, if an Album has 10 songs, it might embed the artwork in the first 5 or 6 tracks, then go blank (the CD image) for the remaining tracks. Then again, it might embed all 10. That's probably something in the script, perhaps an incompatibility with CPU cycles or Windows or whatever.
Also, the script can't get the artwork from much of my classical repertoire, where non-English (extended ASCII) characters are more likely to be used in titles. This should not be as much an issue on a Mac.
My Dell runs Vista with the most recent service pack; perhaps in order to squeeze more useful life out of it (AFAIK Microsoft is dropping support for the OS's up to and including Vista, or soon will do so) I'll throw Linux on it and then hack away at the script. Or just download a newer script.
But anyway, it's a start. Thanks much.
