When I built my new PC, I made a pigs ear of copying my music across. Luckily I didn’t lose any tracks, but I lost all of the hard work I’d put into tidying up my collection that I explained in my ‘Guide to Tidying up iTunes MP3 Collections‘.

I’ve just about finished rebuilding my collection and I’ve just used a fantastic new iTunes Album Art Importer. You can select one album, many albums, or all of the albums in your iTunes music library, and the application will go out and get the album art via the Amazon.com web service, or from the Windows Media Player Album Art which I think is unique.

It is even smart enough to detect whether a track already has art already in place, which can be replaced or left alone. It will also allow the user to choose the best image if multiple covers are found.

Definitely worth a try even if you already have most of your covers sorted.
