TuneSleeve - album art importer
by Jason Clarke Dec 4th 2006 at 8:00AM
Some of the best comments from the recent How to fix your iTunes album art post pointed out some 3rd party tools that are available to make importing album art easier. My favorite of the bunch so far is TuneSleeve. Here are the design goals the developer used to create TuneSleeve:- Being able to work with albums, not individual songs. We're talking about album artwork after all, aren't we?
- Being able to choose what artwork I want among all possible results found on the internet, because the CD cover for an original edition is not always the same as the 20th anniversary special edition.
- In addition to automatic searching, being able to launch an external search in my browser and manually choose the artwork I want by dragging it from my browser to TuneSleeve.
- Being able to download artwork for my entire library or a specific playlist.
- Being able to exclude songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store, since they already come with good quality artwork.
- Being able to exclude songs that already have album artwork, as I might already have spent some precious time manually finding and dragging album cover images for these songs.
- Being able to replace existing artwork with the downloaded artwork or to add the downloaded artwork to the existing one, because the software might find a better quality album art than the one that is already there.
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

Anyone else find it ironic that a product meant as a complement to iTunes requires .Net framework?

Program looks good, but... it doesn't work :( First step seems to be OK. Program properly located albums with no artwork. Then it tries to load album artworks, but after 1 min or so it stops. At the bottom i can see message: "An error occured while downloading album artwork from the internet"
What error? - don't know.
Aha, I have NET Framework 2.0 installed and I use MS Windows XP Home Edition. iTunes and Tunesleeve - newest versions.
Does anyone have same problem? Maybe (hopefully) solution?
