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

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

This requires .Net Framework 2.0.

Bad. It seems that 90% of cover download software need this

And what's so bad about the .Net Framework v2.0?

[what]

I'll stick to using WMP11 for cover art =/

[theyarecomingforyou]

Doesn't work with Vista.

[Olemus]

nope no vista support =/

Well it's true. But why .Net 2.0 is so bad?

[evo0o]

does it automatically change your cover art for all your songs? can i leave it running while i go out for a jog or something?

i've alot of songs without album art and would like to..

.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

[Quillz]

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?

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.

Is this related to "Album Cover Art Downloader"?

That's what I have been using

[Jazza]

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

iTunes needs your credit card.

iTunes needs your credit card.

WMP11 doesn't ;)

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

Yep. It's damn slow at startup (!), but it does its job very well.

[Meshuggah]

I find CD Art Display to be better, sure it has a cover, but you can set it to download covers as well and doesn't require doing as much work as this program takes. Both are good though.
