I use only embedded arts. Is this with the toll possible?
No, sorry. This tool has no support for embedded artwork.

I use Amazon or Wikipedia. Why run MP3s through yet another app?

Does this offer high resolution inserts and CD labels?
Scripts to search Amazon are included. Wikipedia is not, as it does not have any standardised way of presenting cover art, it can't be automated.

Some of the included sources have high resolution CD labels and back covers, but I haven't seen any that offer inserts. If you know of a website offering them, let me know and I might be able to make a script to search it too.

Uhm, it actually has. It should be enough to cover the English Wikipedia, as it is the largest one, where cover art is usually presented this way:

Quote
{{Infobox Album | <!-- See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Albums (THIS NOTE IS OPTIONAL!) -->
|  Name        = Misplaced Childhood
|  Type        = [[Album]]
|  Artist      = [[Marillion]]
|  Cover      = Marillion-Misplaced_Childhood(gatefold).jpg
|  Released    = June 1985<br/>October 1998 (two-disc edition)
|  Recorded    = Hansa Ton Studios, [[West Berlin]], March - May 1985
|  Genre      = [[Progressive rock]]
...
}}

Looks like they've done some work on it since I last looked at it. If the majority of albums now use that standard, then they could be picked up by a script. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any good way of searching for albums, but if I think of one, I might do a Wikipedia script.

You might try to search for the particular Infobox template...

I don't think that all albums use this template, but it nevertheless exists.

I searched the thread and did not see anything on this.  Has anyone been able to rework the Walmart script?

Hey everybody.
I have a little problem wuth this program.
I tried all of possible versions of program, but only in 1.1 - 1.3 i can read symbols, and in 1.3 - 1.6.5 i can't read and set up this prog because of troubles with strange symbols instead of normal english. Here is sreen.


I have Russian-interface version of Windows XP, maybe i should change something in system settings, using "regedit" for example. What should i do to make it work? Sorry for my english, thanks.

I'm not sure what version of which ancient predecessor of Album Art Downloader you are using there, but if you'd like to try downloading the latest version: AlbumArtDownloaderXUI.exe, you will probably find it works just fine.

Alex


Yeah, thats great!    It works. You know, i had AlbumArtDownloaderXUI-0.21.exe file, but i didnt know what it was. I tried to install and it created folder in Program Files with just one exe file - aad.exe with command line interface. Size of installer - ~900kb, but i downloaded zip (~1Mb) and it worked!
So, now I dont understand what for http://unrealvoodoo.org/hiteck/projects/albumart/ version? It distinguishes from yours and it doesnt work 
Thanks dude!

That project is nothing to do with this one. In fact, I wasn't aware of it until you mentioned it here. Guess I've got some competition :-)

If look at program name closely, there is a little difference - Album Art Downloader in yours and Album Cover Art Downloader in his. Dont know who was the first, but i like your stuff. Especially the great idea with foobar database. Its exactly what I needed - to get information from tags. Great work, thanks!

Is it me or has the Rate Your Music script not been working for a while know?

Of things I am 100% sure that there is artwork on RYM it doesn't load it any more. Anyone has an idea what this can be?

That would be because Rate Your Music added a check for user-agent, and returning 403 Forbidden if they don't like the user-agent requesting the image.

So here's an updated script that sets the user agent to Mozilla/5.0 for requesting the images.

Oops, looks like I uploaded the wrong (debugging) version - I've fixed that and the link should now go to the right script. Or, you can just remove the line starting "logFile".

By the way, if you edit a post rather than posting a new reply, I don't get an email notification, so I don't know to come and read it, which is why this answer is so delayed!

AlbumArt Downloader XUI v0.22 Released

After an absurdly long wait, I've finally gotten around to implementing the Presets idea! As this has involved some fairly major internal changes, I'm not going to update the first post, or main links yet. If you are feeling adventurous, though, you can download 0.22 here and let me know how you get on with it.

To start using presets, add the placeholder %preset% anywhere within your default save path. It will automatically be there for new installations, but when upgrading it keeps your existing settings, so your current save path won't have it in there. For example, if your current save path ends Folder.%extension%, consider changing this to Folder%preset%.%extension%.

Once that placeholder is present, a drop down arrow will appear next to the save buttons in the results - click those to save the result with the %preset% placeholder substituted by one of the values listed in the menu that pops up. I've included some usual candidates (Front, Back, Inlay, etc.), but you can customise the list by clicking the "Edit Presets" item at the bottom of the menu.

Download:
AlbumArtDownloaderXUI.exe (Installer. Recommended)
AlbumArtDownloaderXUI.zip (zip archive for those who don't like installers)
.NET Framework 3.5 (required)
AlbumArtDownloaderXUI-MediaInfoX64Upgrade.exe (x64 version of MediaInfo - must be installed if you are running a 64 bit version of Windows)

Thanks, as always.

I'll try it. Anyway.
I'm sure it won't explode.

Alex,

I'm just begining to mess with AAD, and I have what I hope is a pretty simple question. 

I save all of my covers in the album folder as cover.jpg.  AAD defaults to "folder.jpg."  Is there a way to change this permanently so I don't have to go into options each time and do it manually?

Thanks.

Are you starting from the File Browser?

If so, go into the options in the File Browser, and remove the first part (up to and including the | symbol) so that you just have "Cover%preset%.%extension%" (or "Cover.%extension%", if you are still using v0.21). The default path to save to will then be Cover.jpg instead of Folder.jpg. This is because the File Browser creates the default path to save to based on the first alternative, if multiple alternatives (separated by |) are present.

That worked perfectly - thank you.

Another question: Is it possible to launch the File Browser without launching Album Art Downloader first?

Yes: AlbumArt.exe /fileBrowser will start it as if you'd clicked File/New/File Browser. You can also have it start searching a specified path immediately: AlbumArt.exe /fileBrowser "c:\music"
