Product Description:

This is the first time I've been compelled to review a product on VersionTracker. I tried all the rest, but this is the best. I don't understand why the rating isn't 5 stars. My only complaint before was the slowness (I used it on a PowerBook G4 awhile ago), but now this Universal Binary version flies on my new MacBook Pro. I lost all my artwork when I backed up to a PC and then copied files back to my new MacBook, but Export Artwork saved the day.

On 10-08-2005 the artwork ran on a 17000 song library when 1349 songs became corrupt on the ID3 tag. Allthough the support was very helpfull at start still no solution or reason was found. Here 's a list of errors on the ID3 Tags:
- Could not duplicate cover image. (-43) Finder got an error: File some object wasn't found. --> results in crash of itunes
- Could not embed Artwork. (-208) iTunes got an error: An error of type -208 has occurred. --> results in song no longer playable
- Could not embed Artwork. (-39) iTunes got an error: End of file error. --> results in crash of itunes
- Could not embed Artwork. (-45) iTunes got an error: File some object is locked.--> results in crash of itunes
- Could not embed Artwork. (-50) iTunes got an error: Parameter error. --> results in crash of itunes
- File not found. (-1728) --> no impact
If someone has encountered same issues, or even better can resolve corrupted Tags, please notify. IN the past Export artwork worked fine, but first I want this issue be resolved before using further, to avoid further tag problems.
Kind regards,
Peter
