Automatic download of cover-art

Hey there. Is there any good way to get foobar to auto-download the cover for an album? Right now I have a program that puts the images in the right folders and gives them the right name, but I have to choose the image itself. Way to time consuming if many albums has to be processed. Maybe there's a way to use the built-in function from iTunes?

You can use the Album Art Downloader XUI in combination with the COM Automation Server component to list all albums in your Media Library. The resulting list will indicate which albums are missing artwork, so you can query for artwork one by one. I'm not sure if it supports mass querying more than one album at a time, since it already queries multiple servers to present multiple results for you to select.

This tool does not query the iTunes Store for artwork, and so far as I know, Apple blocks third party tools from doing this anyway.

Alright, AAD XUI is the program I'm currently using, but I'll check out COM Automation Server. Thanks man

Yeah, it uses the COM Automation Server for the File -> New -> Foobar Browser, which can be used to query for all of the albums in your Media Library.
