Fetch Art for iTunes

doesn't work with Sierra. Whenever I start it I am prompted to install Java, which I know is already installed. Then it freezes and I have to force quit. Disappointed as can't find cheap artwork app anywhere.

Maybe i did something wrong.. starts, looks good, but doesn't actually find any artwork. Maybe the XML Interface at Amazon changed?

Doesn't Work Any More ,guess the Itunes Updates Broke the code . the app developers blog also is not active ... Long live Fetch Art

Why does this installer install the script into the root Scripts folder (/Library/iTunes/Scripts) instead of the user's Scripts folder (/Users/(name)/Library/iTunes/Scripts)? Not good practice. iTunes wouldn't even recognize the script in this location. I had to manually move it into the iTunes Scripts folder at the user level in order for it to show up in the scripts menu. This installer looks like it still needs some tweaking.

Thank you, Aric. Congrats for the nice work that is working fine here. :-)

Thank you Aric. Now it works fantastic. Easy to use and does what it has to do.

Indeed, where is the promised version 2.6.0?

The download link still is for version 2.5.4.2? Where is version 2.6.0?

10.6.2 | iTunes 9.0.3 | Fetch Art 2.5.4 - Fetch Art now only applies album art to the first selected song, of many selected songs. Fetch Art worked fine under the previous version of iTunes, 9.0.2.

Finally! The only tool (and I tried a dozen) that lets me batch download the album art for my complete library AND embed it into the songs (so the album art isn't only visible in iTunes). And it works almost flawlessly too! Worth your donations (instead of paying for an inferior tool..) Some possible improvements: manually selecting an alternative image + grouping by album so you don't have to select all tracks individually.

Using this recently, I found a few things: Firstly, it's really slow. Yes I am trying it out on an older mac, but it runs even more slowly than other applications. Secondly, during the "Copying Art to iTunes" phase. I am getting a lot of errors that read: "Error reading file MacHD:Users:myusername:Library:Application Support:FetchArt:AlbumName.jpg.pict." Thirdly, it's kind of clunky. I mean, why do I want to build a list, then have to select all and tell it to copy into the song? Don't I just want to select the song/s and choose "FetchArt" from the scripts menu and have it find the album art and embed it into the song? GimmeSomeTune works this way, but without all the errors.

I have just downloaded this latest version of Fetch Art and installed it. At least I got the message "Software Successfully Installed" at the end of the process. But when I looked for the application in my "Applications" folder, it was nowhere to be seen at all. Remembering the bizarre problem that I had had in the past with Fetch Art, I then looked for my "Tune-Instructor" application icon in the Applications Folder. On double-clicking it - to my utter amazement - Fetch Art launched, and NOT "Tune-Instructor". Mr Developer, it is now quite plain - as I asserted some months ago - that your application interacts/conflicts significantly and adversely with the application "Tune-Instructor". Please do look into this absurd situation promptly please. For now I have had no choice but to trash both the Fetch Art and the Tune--Instructor applications. Goodness only knows what is the matter with the Fetch Art installer and why it interferes with the other application. (Version 2.5.3)

Hi, the installer doesnt copy the fetch art app to my application folder! Tried it severel times. (10.5, iTunes 9) Would be great to get it working... thank you

Quits because it says it requires perl 5.6, instead of Snow Leopards version 5.8.

I am having a similar problem , it doesnot save my preferences when i want it to overwrite my artwork

Fetch Art will not save my preference changes. No matter how many times I select "replace album art" it still will not save album art to tracks that already have an image. I've tried changing the preference and then quitting the program, but that doesn't seem to help.

This app is wonderful; a real timesaver. Even though it only grabs images from Amazon, it's fast, stable, and free. I just tested this new version on an 82 song playlist with missing artwork and of those 82, it only grabbed one mistaken cover, and that was for an older soundtrack. Not too shabby. It also gives you two options that I really appreciate: 1. The option to preview the artwork and selectively not import covers that are a poor match. 2. The option to overwrite coverart for songs that are already tagged. This is turned off by default, unlike some other apps, so you won't accidentally ruin your song library if you aren't paying attention. It would be nice to be able to see super high resolution covers from other sources like albumartexchange, allcdcovers, and google images though. Hopefully that will be added in a future update.

I just downloaded and installed this new version from the MacUpdate link. Or I certainly thought that II did !! It downloaded without any problems and the installation process appeared to go OK, as I got the "Software Successfully Installed" message at the end. But on checking my Applications Folder it was nowhere to be seen and plainly was not installed. I then went to the Developer's site and tried again to download it from there. Exactly the same thing occurred. Pretty strange. Any explanations ?

On August 15 Amazon will change how their web servers search for album art. They are requiring encrypting/signing of requests. I am working on a new version 2.5 of Fetch Art to support these new calls. After August 15 all previous versions of Fetch Art will stop working. Check back here for an update on August 15. It will be compatible with iTunes 7 and 8 and Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 and Intel and PowerPC Macs.

Works great, simple to use. Well developed software for free! I love it, hasn't failed me yet.
