This fails to work on my system running vista ,spent hours and hours of my time trying to get it going ,anyone running this ok in vista ?
what else can i use ,i really need something like this !!! to save me alot of manual inputting

I've been able to get it to work on a Vista Ultimate machine. Of course as Trixmoto suggested I used the "run as administrator" option when I installed it. Try this to see if it will work on your machine.

Is there a way to override that message box " There are no albums with missing artwork" ,so that it searches the sites reagardless ?
also can i add other sites ,discogs etc ,is this easy ,im no script expert


Btw juno never finds anything for me
cheers

The version I am currently working on gives you the option to include artwork which already has artwork.

Adding other sites is certainly a matter of editing the code. You need to add sections in several places, and some sites are just not compatible. If you let me know of any specific sites you are interested in using then I will try to add them.

New version (2.5) is now available to download from my website. Changes include...

- Added option to download image without tagging
- Moved temporary files to windows temporary directory
- Added option to include albums which already have artwork
- Added UTF encoding (thanks to Austin Powers)
- Fixed FLAC and OGG files are not tagged
- Fixed prompts reappearing during script execution
- Fixed form not reloading properly in auto mode

Still only MM2 at the moment, sorry.

Added option to include albums which already have artwork ..not working nag pops up at all times

[trixmoto]

Yes, the idea is that it first checks albums which do not have any artwork, then if there aren't any it asks if you'd like to do the ones which don't have artwork.

Hi Richard
I downloaded the latest version of Batchfinder AlbumArt but I note the "save" and "next" and "pause" buttons have disappeared. Help!

That's strange, I haven't changed anything in the script to affect them. Are you sure nothing else has changed since you just the previous version?

- Fixed FLAC and OGG files are not tagged

Hi Trix, it seems you have completely removed adding art from flag (and probly ogg), however flag/ogg _DO_ support _LINKED_ art.

I normally keep my option set for tag + linked, with flac files I would simply remove the blank embedded image.

Ideally, the script would simply drop the embedded image for flac/ogg instead of completely removing tagging for them.

[trixmoto]

Oh, sorry. The fix is to replace line 1484...

Code: Select all

Storage = 5

...with...

Code: Select all

Select Case Storage
  Case 1
    Storage = 5
  Case 3
    Storage = 2
  Case 4
    Storage = 0
End Select

This should translate all of the option into non-embedded equivalents for FLAC and OGG files.

Hi, great script!


I want to search for missing art of my whole collection (~3000 CDs). How can i set up your script to always save the FIRST picture it found? I dont want to click next and save 3000 times...

[trixmoto]

This script can't handle that volume of data in one go, sorry. It's designed to always get interaction from the user because the results are never 100%.

Hi there,

I've just got MediaMonkey and your script in order to add album art to my collection (approx 800) albums, and have spent a couple of hours going through everything.

The problem is that none of the album art I have added appears in MM's Album Art pane.

When I right click on a single track, go to properties and then the Album Art tab, the cover is in there but it is Image Type: Not Specified

Above it is a blank image with type: "Cover (front)" and the description "Added by Trixmoto's BatchArtFinder script".

If i delete that blank image entry, or use the arrows at the bottom to move the actual cover image to the top then it appears in the Album Art pane, but if i tick the box that says "Apply to all tracks on the Album" then all art is wiped out of the rest of the tracks completely!

Any help on how I can fix this all in one go would be very much appreciated! Alternatively, it has also created a JPG file in each album folder so could I wipe the art from all the files somehow and do a batch import of those jpg's?

Thanks

Simon

I'm sorry that my script has created blank entries. Can you tell me if these are links to non-existent files, or if they are embedded images which are corrupt?

The way to fix these in batch is to use my Album Art Tagger script. Either use it to delete all of the tracks, and then insert the external images that you have; or you can just use it to remove the invalid images which will leave the other ones in the tags for you.

Hi Trixmoto,

First of all: http://trixmoto.net/ is down. Just in case you didn't realize it.

I'm a newbie on MM. I am trying MM3 RC2 and am trying to figure out the best way to get cover art for albums that don't automatically get it. I saw references to two scripts of yours - a googleart finder and a batchart finder. I can't find downloadable versions of either (perhaps b/c your site is down) and I'm not even sure if googleart is still active? Confused. Anyway, sounds like you are hard at work on MM3 stuff. Thanks and good luck!

P.S. MediaMonkey should create a single site to host everybody's scripts. (like IMatch does with a wiki-system i.e. http://wiki.photoolsweb.com/index.php?t ... _Scripting). Just an idea.
