Art Collector ReviewBest of the bunch - Version: 1.5, 4/5/2007 05:53AM PST

I've tried pretty much all of the artwork tools in the last few weeks to try and get my iTunes library up to date. Whilst Art Collector may not be as intuitive as some of the others it at least does what it's supposed to and for free. The dimensions displayed against each cover is also a nice touch.

Many of the 'shareware' options are crippled until you pay for them - they'll find the artwork but not add it to your library.

There were a few albums that Art Collector couldn't find covers for or found totally nonsense but generally it was pretty good. It'd be great to be able to manually search through the tool for the covers it couldn't find, changing the seacrh term yourself.

The only other problem is that it's still a manual process. It'd be great to be albe to set up some rules and have it automated, e.g. highest resolution, only square, exact match etc

I can't really work out what exrtras you get for registering the program - there are no extra features AFAICS and no pop ups to bug you.

Art Collector Usage Tip'flaw' - Version: 1.5, 3/21/2007 10:44AM PST

Despite this being one of thé best covert art applications I have found so far, it does have one major flaw.

Anyone else notices how it sorts albums per artist, and then song per album (but completely ignores artist at that point...)? What I mean is.. when I have 10 different artists with a "Best of" album (named exactly that) - clicking on an artist and then that album, will list -all- songs of -all- artists with said named album. So applying art for one album would be applied to the songs of all 10 albums named "Best of". Somehow I cannot imagine this being the way it 'should' work, so I guess you can call it a flaw.

Besides that, I'd pretty much call it perfect! Anything that's too rare to find I can handle myself. This makes the whole job a lot easier though for the greater part.

Great idea, but there are still some bugs to work out. The app shows the wrong artwork for many of my albums, and when adding artwork to some albums, the artwork is added to tracks of random different albums, which means I have to manually find and replace the randomly placed artwork. Some albums however, work flawlessly. As soon as these bugs are out, I'll be dropping the $7.95 for it.
