While conducting a search i saw this written on a blog....

Move over cover buddy say hello to clutter. This freeware
(mac only ) app lets you put your CDs anywhere on your
desktop just click on the CD cover to listen to it through
itunes If you ask me this is way better then cover buddy not
just becuse its $25 cheaper but you forgoe having to use any
application interface just double-click on the CD cover
insteadHave a go and let me know what you think..

well.. sourceforge didn't yield much.. only a linux program
for finding images of the covers.. or something.. the
descritption was.. vague...

CoverHunter will scan your digital music albums and try
to get the cover image for each one. After that, if more
than one cover was found, you can choose wich one will be
set as the cover for that album. These covers may be used by
XMMS, KDE, GNOME, etc.

I've found some more softwares..

Art Importer

EyeJamz (not free, but cheap)

Art Search Engine (doesn't seem like it's actually related to
itunes)

Amazon Cover Search

iTCover (looks very beta)

Amazing Cover Search (looks the best, but also isn't free)

I'm gonna try out the art importer one first, I think.

this?

cover buddy allows you to browse through your itunes library
by looking at the album art, not just the title of the album
or something.

most of thost things i listed just let you find the album
art i think..

i've just been thinking... it won't make it easierr. i don't
get it eitherr.

i don't really understand how this art importer is working.
it doesn't look like it's saving the file seperately. it is
embedding the artwork into the mp3... the filesize of each
mp3 is increasing by 20kb or so.

i didn't really know that was possible.

Well yeah, and it'll be big and annoying. I don't think
we're made for this world.

yeah, i'm definately thinking this is more trouble than it
is worth. at least until it becomes more automated and/or
integrated with itunes or whatever player/organizer you
have.

Whilst I had working internet last night I managed to test
out most of these. Some wouldn't run, some were just shit.
I'm with epohs. Shame there's nothing that does it. Would be
so nice :)
