Is there a way to search for album art via google instead of amazon.com?

You could also use Album Cover Art Download: http://www.team-mediaportal.com/file...ArtDownloader/

You guys *are* aware the MP has a coverart grabber right? In "Shares" view right click (or F9) on a Share, Artist, or Album and select "Find coverart" from the menu.

I am very aware of that, but sometimes the amazon.com site doesn't have the covers I need.

I tried that program (Album Cover Art Download) and it works pretty well (except for the automatic part of it) Most of the time, I just do it manually, but I have found that sometimes it will say 'UserWarning: ID3v2 Cannot process tags with version less than 2.3.0 (This tag's version is 2.2.0)' How do I change that?

also, with that same program, if I drag the .jpg over and there are .wma files for the songs, the jpg doesn't transfer to the wma files....just the main folder title. Is there something I am doing wrong?

I recommend sortin & tagging MP3s with MusicBrainz (Google it)

burdell1 · 2006-07-13, 05:53

Is there a program that is better than MusicBrainz? It seems to have messed up my ID3 tags..it just lumps all the info together in one line....

burdell1 · 2006-07-20, 00:25

Is there a reason why (with the AlbumCoverArtDownloader program) that it will assign the cover to the main album title, but not the songs underneath it if they are .wma files?
