Thread: Album art downloader

looks like the site is no longer being hosted...

ok its up now. I was on vacation and my desktop must of died

doesnt work for me

I'm going to try this later.
I've been looking for a app like this. Very nice.

I'm slow, haven't been keeping up on the CarPC scene. Haven't worked on my CarPC in so long, just been running it and using it.

Can't wait to try this at home after work.

I have the year that the album was released in the folder name for the album for many of my albums, example
- Bob Dylan
- Times they are a changin' (1964)

All of the ones with a year it does not find art for, is there a way that you could account for this, that would be awesome.

Also, when manually looking for the album art it should stop searching once you have selected a particular icon, pretty easy fix with a while conditional in the loop I would guess. Thanks a bunch

When I do Mass Load and point it at the MP3 directory, everything seems to go OK. It gets lots of images for my albums, and I can manually choose ones for those it doesn't pick up automatically.

However, when I click the Save Art button, it gives me errors along the lines of:

Error saving image to: Lostprophets - Start Something\Lostprophets - Start Something.jpg
Error saving image to: Lostprophets - Start Something\Lostprophets - Start Something.jpg

For each album that I have artwork selected, I get 2 errors as above. I don't know quite what's going on. The Root Dir text box says: D:/Temp/Music Listed

I'm running WinXP SP1 with all patches applied if it helps.

I've tried the Single Load option on the File menu, but it doesn't anything at all. Is that right?

I am getting same error any clue why?

same.. and i even get an error loading all the directories

Code:

Error: 4
UnicodeEncodeError Exception in Tk callback
  Function: <bound method MainWindow.saveArt of <__main__.MainWindow instance at 0x00BA4A80>> (type: <type 'instancemethod'>)

Blinder!!!!!!!

i think its because of amazon changed their webservice again. I haven't touched this since i've been busy with other projects.. I'll try to look into this tomorrow
