Album Art Downloader 0.6 alpha 2

2007-02-20 | Freeware | OS: XP

Alex Vallat and Marc Landis took the development of the CoverDownloader which is now renamed to Album Art Downloader.

The Album Art Downloader is a program designed to make life easier for anyone who wishes to find and update their album art for their music collection. The sources for the pictures can be defined by creating plugin scripts. This requires .Net Framework 2.0.

Revision history:

Album Art Downloader 0.6 Alpha 2

* Added Save Toolbar - users can predefine buttons to save images

* Added option to specify maximum results returned by a script

! Changed command line switches - use "albumart.exe -?" to get help

Album Art Downloader 0.6 Alpha 1

+ changed the way how the size overlay is displayed - now it is over the image

.Net is not bad

but...

AFAIR, relatively software requiring .Net Framework consume more resource and have slower interface response.

so...

I don't like .Net :D

Please read up on .Net memory usage before making such claims. The fact is. .Net apps reserve memory for themselves in the case that the extra room is needed. However, if another application requests that memory, the .net application will release it.

iTunes, saves downloaded artwork, into a seperate database, so can't be used by another player.

This application, I assume, adds the artwork into the MP3 tag. I say assume, as it dosn't work in Vista, so I can't tell

Hmm... How does this differ from iTunes finding album art? Can this be integrated into other music playing software, or is it solely a standalone application?

any tips on how to use the scrips? I can't find a help file/site

I use foo run services.

download foo run services

In Preferences->Run Services click add, in label write "cover", next give the path to your album art downloader and add to this path "%artist%" -al "%album%" on the end of this line. Next click Modify

Then rmb on album->run->cover

    • This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day by Sayan Sen Recently we had covered some nice deals of internal NVMe SSDs which include the 4TB TeamGroup G50 for only $400, the WD_BLACK SN7100 2TB for just $243, as well as the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB for $370. If however you require an external SSD for portability and quick data transfers and have a budget of less than $200 the Samsung T7 1TB model is currently on a limited time deal at just $190, it's lowest price in nearly three months. The deal ends today so you better hurry if you need one (purchase link below). The T7 weighs in at just 72 grams meaning it should be fairly easy to carry around helping in the portability department. Via its USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface the T7 promises sequential read speeds of up to 1050 MB/s and writes of 1000 MB/s. It is also fairly robust with a drop protection of up to 2 meters, though bear in mind that this is not waterproof. For that you will have to choose the rugged T7 Shield. The technical specifications of the Samsung T7 1TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Model Code (1TB) MU-PC1T0T / MU-PC1T0H Interface USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Dimensions (W × H × D) 85 × 57 × 8 mm Weight 72 g Sequential Read Speed Up to 1,050 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 1,000 MB/s Drop Resistance Up to 2 m (6.6 ft) Encryption AES 256-bit hardware encryption Operating Temperature 0°C to 60°C Non-Operating Temperature -40°C to 85°C Humidity 5% to 95% (non-condensing) Shock Resistance 1,500 G, duration 0.5 ms, 3-axis (non-operating) Vibration Resistance 20–2,000 Hz, 20 G (non-operating) Get it at the link below: Samsung T7 Portable SSD, 1TB External Solid State Drive, MU-PC1T0T/AM, Gray: $189.98 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I just wish they would put more love into Virtual Desktops. There is just so much more they could do.
    • Sounds like you just skimmed over the review, I answer all those questions in it. Although I admit I did not test if DTS works over the headphones, when I get some time I will test this. My personal use case is more speaker-driven (I cover this in the review too).
    • It actually does the same exact thing as yours, 7.1 virtual surround over headphones. From the product page: "Experience sound that surrounds you with 7.1 virtual surround, delivering a wider, more immersive soundstage for movies, games, and music." So both of them are two channel, with 7.1 virtual surround that only work in Headphones mode.
