But what if you’ve got hundreds of albums with no cover art?
Read on to see how you could track down the correct art for each.
Album Art Downloader
We’re going to be using a free software calledAlbum Art Downloader.
It’s got an unconventional interface, but it works very well.
To get started, poke the link, download the system and install it.
Once your library is all neat, move on to the next step.
Searching For Album Art
It’s now time to run Album Art Downloader.
By default, it also searches your local files, which isn’t very helpful.
From our experience, Amazon and Google Images are usually enough to track down most albums.
This would ensure the largest images would float to the top of the search results.
Go to File > New > File surfing app, or hit Ctrl+B.
Once you get used to that, the utility is very easy to use.
Click “Select all albums with missing artwork”, and then click Get Artwork for Selection.
Album Art Downloader will now pop up three separate search windows in parallel.
Do not be alarmed – the utility is just trying to save you time.
By the time you’re done with the first search, the second one is ready for you.
Let’s start sifting through the first one.
you’re able to also drag the line alongside each “tile” to make the tiles larger.
wrap up the search window, and a new one will pop up, searching for the next album.
Rinse, lather, repeat.
In no time your music library will be full of beautiful, high resolution artwork!
