Program to download album covers

It works pretty well, but I still will use gotcha covered pro I'm afraid (although its old and pretty damn ugly ).

- Primary reason: The seek seems to be better in GCP, it seems to better handle album-names thats not a complete match (if you for instance have (EP) in the album name). And it also suggests art that is not a complete hit (marked in yellow), and only automatically downloads art with a "green" hit.

- Secondary reason: It uses id3-tags for the search (if you want it to).

- Third reason: I wish your program would autodownload the first album-art hit with the biggest resolution, not just the first hit.

I hope some of this issues can be fixed, I really want to use your program

Hey nexsus!

would it be very difficult to add the ability to name the saved images using variables?
eg.: %artist%_%album%.jpg

Hey, just an FYI, I won't be working on the program for a while because I recently lost my job.
Sorry for getting hopes up about iTunes support and other new features -- I will add them, it just won't be for a while.

Does anyone know if there is a way to get the sources? I am thinking about adding the download feature to the album art plugin, and it would save a lot of time if i was able to get the source to see how it seek and download the images

I can't see this being asked anywhere else but is .jpg out the only planned file format? I'm after output to .bmp for RockBox. Any chance?

If there is any access available to the source then I would be happy to do it myself and send it back.

Cheers,

Goose

Hey Nexus

This program is great, I use it for a month now, and it's works fine  The mass cover downloader is particulary appreciated when you have any cover, wich was my case before I use this program. When you have time to code it again, I have some features requests, but i don't know if they was already asked :
  -When using command line mode, it would be great if a window show us all the cover avaible, and then we choose what's the better to save it  (whynot, add a swith to enable/disable this feature)
  - Have you planned any Unicode support?? When i try to download cover with some special character(like é è à...) in the album or artist string, no cover are found. I must replace them with "e", or "a" etc. This is not really not a problem when you use single cover download, but when you use mass cover download, that's bad  Maybe you could have unicode support, or just replace them automatically??

Well, that's done
You do a great and usefull program !!

Send the man some money if you want to see updates to the program.

C'mon, reach into your pocket, especially since he told you all he lost his job (therefore losing his income too) so click here and donate to him!

Nexus, Excellent program, thank you.
Is there a way of showing more than 3 covers when using the program manually ?
For instance, George Winston's Summer CD brings up the Beach Boys and two other geniuses that have picked such a unique album name as Summer. Perhaps the column of album art could be scrollable if there are more than 3 hits ?
Anyway, hope you have an interesting new job and thanks again.

Is there a chance you will add the ability to use variables in the filename for the cover? things like %album% (%year%).jpg or .png, for example.

I don't know if it's just me, but the prog isn't putting the correct info in the Artist and Album fields down in the lower right.  It just puts the whole directory name in both.

Thanks for a great program!

I was going to request this very thing ... but now I don't have to post.   

The Sonos player wants album art to have the same name as the folder, and this function would do the job.

And thanks for a neat program!
