Album Arts

[Sir Topham Hatt]

Hello

Is there a program that can automatically download album arts and add them to the MP3?

Pretty much ALL my music doesn't have a picture as I had it in my head that it took the PC longer to load and was just a waste of time. However, after experiencing the different views you can have, the tracks look a lot nicer if they have an album art, so currently, I am manually adding them.

Is there something that can do this automatically depending on what the track is named or what I have in the album? I only need the art, I don't want it to change the tracks and names and things.

Thanks

Tag & Rename can do it by connecting to amazon and do a search on the album name.

I used to have a small application that did only that too (no other features) and I believe it was just called AlbumArt but then I started doing more to my collection and Tag&Rename seemed to do it (not freeware though).

It's okay, my installed (free) program: mp3 tag does it fine :) Although it will only search for one album and I have to make a bunch of clicks, but then I can make sure they are all right I guess.

Should have investigated before posting!

Songbird does this. You can do your whole library at once. I think MediaMonkey and Winamp can do this as well. Just make sure you set it to save to the ID3 tag and not the library file.

iTunes also, with iTunes shop loged in

Take a look in this thread:

It's an awesome guide to organizing your music and getting album art and all sorts of other information for your music collection.

Good guide, but I will still store all my music in the same folder for now.

Soundtracks, Classical music and Christian music are all split off though, but I want all other music tracks together. Then I'll look at viewing them (with the album art) as artists or albums.

Good guide though :)

mediamonkey will embed images into the id tags of the mp3

it grabs them off of amazon etc, go go go :)
