Seems to be geared towards the newer media offerings by Apple. Other than that, it can retrieve album artwork and has a display mode that includes this downloaded artwork.
Follow Ups:
I'm pretty sure that when iTunes automatically finds album artwork, that artwork is NOT inserted into the actual music file. It probably resides in the iTunes Library data file.Here's the problem... If I rip a CD on one computer and let iTunes automatically find the artwork, when I move the song files to another computer and add them to a different iTunes library the artwork does not exist.
I tried the album artwork download trick. It found about 10-20% of my albums and got many of those wrong. And the missing album covers show up when you browse the album artwork using that iTunes tool. So, you'll be scrolling through a bunch of empty album covers and a real album cover will show up every now and then. Someone on the user experience team should have thought this through more carefully.Rather than use iTunes slick, glossy album cover browse tool I'd prefer to see all the album cover thumbnails simply layed out across and down the page. You click one to play it. This to me is a faster and better browse method. I think SlimServer does this. The iTunes version takes too much work to visually find an album.
And the funny thing is that the program that Apple bought, Coverflow, in its original iteration which was a free download (until the other day) would pull in album covers with good success, 80% or so. It searched in Google images and Amazon.If iTunes can't find the cover can you find it manually and drop it onto the blank cover? (another feature of the old Coverflow).
Yes, you've always been able to manually insert the cover...
Have you tried Clutter?Same results here with the download tool.
