I have done a good deal of searching but cannot find an answer.
I have a large number of Albums without artwork, 521. So the idea of looking up each manually is rather daunting. What I am looking for is a program that will list each album without artwork and present a list of potential covers for that album.
Here are programs I have found so far
Amazon Art Widget - Not much more convenient than manual searches
iTunes built in art finder - did not find 521 of the albums art work
Coverscout - This program would be perfect except I am using 10.4 so coverscout 3 does not work and since my library is on another partition coverscout 2 can not work with the files. Is there a hack to force either of these to work right?
Album Art Thingy - still have to look for albums with out artwork and play a song
Here is what the program needs to do
- Search my database to find albums without artwork
- Be capable of searching for artwork for those albums either by me clicking on the flagged album and pressing search or automatically searching and providing me with options for my albums
- Work with Mac OS 10.4 or Windows XP
- Work with another hard drive or partition my library is not kept in the user folder
Here is what I would prefer it to do
- Display list of all albums without art work and find it automatically then let me go through it's results and choose the best option for each album
- Embed the artwork into the music file so that it is available to any computer or after reinstall
After I update the art work database I need to apply this to my other computers. My iTunes library is centralized for all computers on my network. I do not use music sharing since each computer needs to be able to create a playlist. So can I just drag and drop my "Album Artwork" folder from the computer with the updated database to the other Macs and Windows computers or do I have to manually add the art work on each?
