I saw this online to get big album art from iTunes: http://www.thejosher.net/iTunes/

Doesn't work quite good for me. Try to download this for example;

http://www.thejosher.net/iTunes/index.p ... m=Songbird

Can't get it to work.

I just checked in the iTunes store and don't even see that one listed. Maybe that's why?

It is there... Just search Eva Cassidy and then Songbird will be one of the first albums ;)

Strange, I searched it a good 3-4 times before I said that, never did see it. :\

So how has enough bandwidth to make a copy of all the album art before this gets taken offline too?

Morton, looks as though it's been updated to solve the problem with 404's, including that one. ;) The fix though means you'll get a .tif instead. *Shrugs*

I've created a WebSearch panel for this site.
It's pretty useful!

I just couldn't make it work for Various Artists albums... :(

It'll age better - remember back when 640x480 was about as hi-res as a monitor would be. When a standard monitor runs at 1900x1200, then that 300x300 artwork will seem awfully tiny, or it will look all blurry when it gets upscaled.

It's irrelevant now, anyways, since the script no longer works, and I'm not going to sign up for an iTunes account just for the artwork.

No, this is mainly for your computer.
