MACMAN4HIRE  I also purchased this application in the Mac Heist bundle. The application does work well and delivers what is promised. The MRSP of $40.00 seems excessive to retrieve free and readily available album art images. CoverScout 3 does not locate the best quality album art images that are available. CoverScout 3 and its $40.00 price tag should find the best quality album art images. My suggestion is to have the developer include results from a site called the albumartexchagne.com. The albumartexchagne.com currently has about 80,000 images of meticulously scanned and edited albums art images. Adding albumartexchagne.com would add significant value to an average application.

REVATMAN  I complained about the price for this a few weeks ago. I just bought a Macheist bundle that contained this and I'm quite happy with it.

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.

MCUSR  Half of my previously perfect iTunes library started missing artwork, although this abortion of an application didn't hesitate to consume over 2GB of space for new artwork it got from somewhere else. Zero stars.

BEERLINGTON  I received this as part of the MacHeist bundle and decided to try it out since I have some missing art work. This thing is a CPU hog! It took forever for it to scan all my iTunes music and determine which albums needed artwork. I was a little confused at first because it's difficult to tell if an album doesn't have art, or just hasn't loaded yet. It has a lot of potential, but for being v 3.x, it seems like it belongs on Windows.

EARTH23  Got as part of the macupdate bundle. I love the ability to select from a variety of covers, and the automate feature is nice. However, the application itself is a resource hog and the automation feature freezes after about 20 albums. I've got 900 albums without cover art... restarting the application every 20 albums is going to make completing my iTunes cover art an arduous task.

JEREMYAN  The features are nice. Able to find good pictures for cover art.

Easy to use. Indeed. Interface is ok.

But, it is such a resource hog. I had experience with equinux's other software, iSale. It is also a resource hog.

The performance is really bad. Use a lot of memory and esp. CPU. Fans spinning!!! Just like iSale's super sluggish performance.

I think equinux should really invest more time in improving performance.

UNCOY  CoverScout belongs to a new generation of utilities designed to make your life more difficult. It is often updated with update fees, the licensing system is draconian and requires maintaining an online account. You can't even properly demo the app without giving up your personal info.

This little toy has a nice icon, but Album Artwork Assistant is 1. free 2. doesn't have any registration issues 3. works a treat.

Thanks but no thanks. I'm off to send a nice donation to Marc Liynage instead.

Due to the equinux's draconian licensing system, I won't be buying the Macheist Nanobundle at all (and I've bought most of them). I'm quite angry to see the Macheist crew encouraging such a step backwards in Mac culture. If we wanted to be treated like peons we would have bought Microsoft in the first place.

These guys think that as they are working with music (RIAA), they can treat us like slaves to their licensing system, all the while their application is only grabbing what are free images off of the web.

GUZZLAMIAMOR  Just picked this up with the Macheist bundle, and I love it. As far as I am concerned the bundle is paid for. I have a huge library with spotty artwork. Basically I don't have anything that iTunes doesn't sell. Just in the few minutes I have been playing with it I now have artwork for all of my AC/DC albums (I had only 2 of 18 before). I am looking forward to finally filling in the rest. Regarding speed, I have an early 09 iMac. It was a bit of a resource hog as it scanned my 17000+ songs, however it was done in 15-20 minutes. That is not bad considering the volume. I like the fact that for each album I can choose between several different iterations of each cover. Sure I could do all of this manually, but in the past year I haven't and probably wouldn't had it not been for this app. It would take much longer to find the highest quality covers by scouring around and doing the drag drop thing. I don't know about the 40 dollar price tag. In my opinion this is a good app that I would pay 20 bucks for any day.

SULEIMAN KHAN  Folks don't waste your money. You can get this as a part of the Macheist bundle starting in about 5 hours ;)   
(Version 3.2.6)

CTKMND  $40 for streamlining a process which takes a minute or two between Safari and iTunes using drag and drop?!

Seriously? Wow, I wonder what you're thinking. From what I can gather from your website, it does not even include free updates?

I think you'd sell at least twice the amount of licenses if this would've been around $20. Having used Curator previously (which I've now dropped due to iT/S being easy enough) I can tell you it works excellent and it goes for $25 if anyone would still want something for quick-dropping album covers into music-files.

Sorry, but I'll pass.
