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

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By WaltC · Posted

      I can barely recall getting web results from a file search... I must've turned it off long ago. 26H2 is Insider's Preview build 26300.8697, which I am running, atm. It is not available for people running the standard commercial builds of Windows--only for the beta test Insider's group. But anyway, as mentioned in the thread, this feature has been around for a long time...

      Speak for yourself. I saw it on Feedly, came here to read it, and did read it until the steps to activate. I skipped them to read the last paragraph. I knew it was probably not "the most requested feature", but knowing Neowin, I knew the article was going to talk about a feature nonetheless. I've seen Neowin in its best and worst.
    • I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake
