Album Cover Art Downloader
Here's a program that will semi-automatically download album cover images foryour music collection. All you have to do is point it at the root of your musicdirectory and for each directory, the program will download a set of corresponding(well, best guess) album covers from the Internet, from which you can choose one thatsuits your fancy.
Currently supported image providers:
At least the following programs make use of the cover images:
- KDE, GNOME and others that follow the FreeDesktop.org .desktop-entry spec
- Windows XP Explorer
- Windows Media Player 9+
- CDcover, an XMMS plugin
- CoverViewer, another XMMS plugin.
- wmalbum, a WindowMaker dock applet
- Various WinAMP plugins, for example Cover TAG.
In addition, some portable music players can show the cover image if it is embedded in the MP3 file.
