Script idea: auto download album art
Script idea: auto download album art
Is there any existing scripts which can auto download album art as a track plays (only if album art does not exist).
Ideally it would be able to search multiple sources and (optionally) get user confirmation before adding it.
A quick search did not seem to find me anything relevant.

Well it's not an easy request. Finding a source is probably the hardest part (well, interfacing with it is the hardest part) - got any ideas for a source?

Well,
Google
Amazon
Last.fm
Allmusic
Musicbrainz
just to name a few, obviously would need to fine tune the appropriate url search format for each, then its just a matter of displaying any results and giving a thumbs up/down/yes/no button or simply letting the user click a picture and have it added as the chosen album art.

Well MusicBrainz uses Amazon album art images, so does that rule that out as well?

Musicbrainz is actively moderated, I would think it would have a very high accuracy for both album art and track listings.

Actually Last.Fm uses quite a lot of amazon images as well.

I now have a working concept which uses Last.Fm to find album art and with my music it is fairly reliable. At the moment it just displays the art in a window though. What were you hoping this script would do with the image?

Well at the moment there are not methods for adding album art to tags. I guess the only choices at the moment are "save to album folder" or "save to central album art folder". I guess I could just give both options!

Speaking for myself and my own personal preference, I save album art to its corresponding Album folder with the file name of "folder.jpg".
I'm sure evryone does it slightly different or uses a different file name.
There are probably people who have folders of music not organized that way, ie., 1 folder with 100 songs of all different artists. That would present a problem me thinks.
Maybe 2 options: store in centralized folder with all album art -or- as mentioned above, in corresponding Album folder.
Just my 2 cents. Regardless, such a script would be awesome.
As a side suggestion: Can this work without incorporating the "Now Playing" option??
Thanks trixmoto for your work on this.

What do you mean about not incorporating Now Playing? Just doing it in batch for all the selected songs?

Here is the concept code! It simply displays the best matching result Last.fm has to offer, whenever a track starts playing. If you want the image, you can right click on it and select "save as". Please comment on how you want this to work, and I'll do my best to provide.

judas.
Right, Ideally the script could use whatever common options are, save to tag, save to albumart.jpg, save to a specific folder, etc.
The only option I am concerned about is, saving to the id3 tags so that MM will display them on the album art viewer!

I will check out the script with great anticipation!
