Once you get used to that, the application is very easy to use.
The File Browser is a separate window that’s what’s odd about the Album Art Downloader interface – it uses lots of separate windows that pop up all over the place. Go to File > New > File Browser, or hit Ctrl+B. Now that we’re all set, it’s time to point Album Art Downloader at our music collection and tell it what it should fetch. This would ensure the largest images would float to the top of the search results. Another thing you should do at this point is set the “Sort by” listbox to “Area”, as shown in the screenshot above. From our experience, Amazon and Google Images are usually enough to track down most albums.
So the first thing we’ll do is scroll down to the bottom of the list and disable the local file search:įeel free to disable any other sources you don’t think you’ll need in the process, just like we’ve disabled Take2 and Yes24 above. By default, it also searches your local files, which isn’t very helpful. Album Art Downloader does not have its own cover art database on the web instead, it uses numerous plugins to search existing databases, starting from massive libraries such as Amazon, CD Baby, Google Images, all the way to more obscure sources such as RevHQ and Psyshop. Its job is to help you find the cover art for one single album, using a myriad of sources.
This is what you’re supposed to see when running the application for the first time: It’s now time to run Album Art Downloader. Once your library is all neat, move on to the next step.
