First of all, it's SLOOOOOOW when scanning my library.
CoverScout only searches Amazon in six countries, Google Images and Walmart.
I expected it to search artwork cover sites, or AT LEAST Barnes and Noble! Ideally, it would also pull covers from iTunes.
I can get better results using http://www.mega-search.net/index.php and Google Images.
Most images on Walmart are poor quality, as are most on Amazon.
Once artwork was found, I didn't like the way the browse function worked to sort through the images.
I didn't use it long enough to rate it for ease of use or stability, but a rating is required to submit a review, so I'm giving them 3 stars each.
In the short time I used it, it didn't crash.
OS X 10.6.7 Intel 64-bit.
iTunes 10.1.1

Most of the added album art is lost then.
Sometimes even the library is at least partly forgotten...
I am very happy i just got this program via a bundle, it is not worth 10$ to me. The draconian registration scheme is just an insult.
Just frustrating to use if your library is a bit larger - but would you need it if it's not?

Too bad no one's stepped up with something to do this job that's in between free and unreasonable.

Yup. Does CoverScout add $40 in value to the free Album Artwork Assistant? Unless it makes you sandwiches, I don't see how.
On the Album Art Exchange website, there's an ad for a product called TidySongs. (It doesn't seem to be on MU: .) It is also $40. However, not only does it use a better range of sources for finding art, it also cleans up metadata, finds duplicates, etc, etc.
(And what's up with the licensing scheme? Is this program so incredible that normal practices just can't hold back the pirate hoards?)

Someone else here complained about it being a resource hog, and I'd agree with that. However I haven't had it crash or lock up or anything like that. I have 4 gigs of ram, so that might have something to do with it. I have approx. 1300 albums missing artwork, and I've had no problems at all.
