TuneSleeve - album art importer
by Jason Clarke Dec 4th 2006
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?

- 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.

They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
