Amazon Album Art Widget for Mac OS X's Dashboard

It's wonderful that iTunes will now automatically search for and add album art to files that are missing it. However, it can only add art for albums that it has artwork for, and while its library is vast, the iTunes Music Store certainly doesn't have everything. When you run into a song or album that iTunes is unable to find art for, what do you do? If you're not sure and you're on a Mac, check out Widget Foundry's Amazon Album Art Widget. It will quickly perform an album art search on Amazon.com's servers, which tends to have some of the albums that are missing from iTunes, for whatever reason. It's still not as good as TuneSleeve on Windows, but it's dead simple and certainly works well.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

Hello,
I am the author of TuneSleeve, and I can guarantee that I do *not* provide any form of malware with TuneSleeve. Either it is a false alert from Norton, or the place you have downloaded it from tampered with the installation file.
Either way, I want to get to the bottom of this... Could you please contact me at my_first_name(see below) at polkapps.com?
Thanks!

Uhm, this is fine, but for something better, I'd suggest looking at an app called clutter. Ive been using it for years now, it's rock solid and has great itunes integration.
