HMURCHISON  Hell I'd probably shell out the money because I'm OCD about my iTunes collection but both CoverScout and SongGenie produce a lot of "False Negatives' meaning when I analyze my collection of music both apps say I'm missing information (album/artist data and artwork) when in fact a quick check in iTunes shows that data to be present.

No sense in being redundant here. Maybe I'll contact Equinux and get their answer.

BRUCEG  CoverScout will not launch on my G4 Mirror Front with Dual Core 1.25Ghz processor.  
(Version 3.2.5)

FALKNERX  Don't get me wrong, this is a beautiful app, but $40 for just an album cover app. is a bit much. Maybe if it could find other missing metadata info or even be incorporated into iTunes then the price could be more justified.  
(Version 3.2.5)

LOUNGE DELUXE  I tried the demo, but I ended up disappointed because the only way to have music files examined for missing cover art is by having the entire music library analyzed. But I want to be able to point the app what music files to analyze, instead of my entire library of 90,000 songs. To be honest I didn't have the time to sit the entire analyzation out, so I quit the app and therefor can't say anything about how accurate the cover art is that CoverScout found for my music files.

I also tried an app called TuneUp in demo but it had the same limitation (or the same approach) as CoverScout, so I'll have to keep on looking for the right cover art app for me.

DTRUETT1  Follow the link to equinux. Good news and bad news. Good news is, it's not $39.95, an outrageous price. Bad news - it's $49.95. Do they sell this to anyone? Fifty bucks to fill in missing album artwork? I'm far from a cheapskate with software, but that price is insane.

DLWHITE  The demo worked nicely, but before purchasing, I e-mailed them a couple questions.

It's been nearly a week and I haven't heard any response. Is that typical of their customer service?

TECHCHICK99  I am a long time user of CoverScout and am very happy with this piece of software. My iTunes library does not have one single black image. Even better, the album artwork is stored directly into the music file, and therefore gives much more flexibilty to the handling process.

What I think is extremely neat: the latest integration with equinux' SongGenie. SongGenie finds missing track information and corrects typos.

CoverScout and SongGenie together - never again without both of them.

POOCHY95  I initially posted this review on another, similar, site.

This App helps the process initially, but you really don't need this program after the first full use. Being that I had thousands of albums, and I was lazy and rolling in extra funds from white collar slavery, I bought v.2 of CoverScout, and have just demoed ver. 3, which the new features don't really speed things up compared to v. 2. Yes, it's only one click to bring you to a google image search with the album/artist name already entered, which v.2 helped when I had an enormous amount of albums to tag that weren't on iTunes, but after that initial process, it's mostly housekeeping. I never add more than 10 albums at a time nowadays, and you still have to manually search for these albums within CoverScout (unless they are the absolute only song/album/etc within your iTunes library which doesn't have a cover) before the program can do it's thing. This pretty much takes just as long as typing into a Google image search and then dragging and dropping in iTunes. Usually quicker, as CoverScout often doesn't find quality covers automatically after you wait for all of it's results to come through, making you then utilize it's built-in browser, all after you launched the program which is a resource hog and has to load all of your iTunes current album covers. Also, it often freezes on my 9 mo old MBPro 10.5.5 4gb ram. This goes also for my demoing of version 3. I wish I could have bought a 1 day license to use.

But here is where I don't understand Equinux's logic:

I initially was torn to spend $20 for my individual library needs. Now they are charging all CURRENT users $30 to UPGRADE to ver. 3. Wouldn't logic tell them that current users are going to be more put off by paying more than they already paid initially to upgrade, PLUS the fact that the majority of the use they would get out of CoverScout is simple housekeeping, which is usually quicker to do manually? They REALLY don't know how to incentivize their upgrades. Equivnux DOES do a good job at losing the collective profits they could have made by making the upgrade much cheaper, which would be the only way to entice the majority of users that have very few reasons to upgrade or even still use the program. I wish these people would have taken economics, psychology, and/or business classes at some point in their lives.

JAN13  So after today disappointment and waste of 8 BUKS for Total Tunes Control I went in to search ... for app which will find art work for my iTunes.

OK. CoverScout 3 is CRAZY overpriced app but HEY (!) it rocks !!!

This is the best there is, no question about it. Period !!!  
(Version 3.0.1)

SHANE C SMITH  $40 to find cover art! You must live on planet crazy.  
(Version 3.0)

PABLO2K  This software requires activation to work. I really hate activation, it´s like calling legitimate customers/users for thief's. Even thought I liked this software I will never buy something that requires activation. Bad decision from the software publisher.  
(Version 2.3.5)

RY.MA  coverscout always crash! OSX 10.4.10.  
(Version 2.3.4)

DARKSCRIBE  This is yet another piece of slow, clunky, poorly designed, overly bloated rubbish. It has almost no functionality at all if you have a large iTunes library. It phones home and basically hogs resources with little in the way of value in return. There are a number of better products, some freeware, that handle large datbases with ease. Very disappointing. It takes several minutes to start up, that it is if it doesn't choke before loading the database file. I have a a collection of more than 1400 cd's and 800 vinyl LP's, 18,500 of the songs on them now stored in mp3/AAC format. This program falls over with a database that size. I have tried it on a G5 iMac, an Intel iMac, and a Mac Pro. It isn't the hardware that's the problem.

Pathetic.  
(Version 2.2)

ZOO  Use CoverFlow instead! Free, better and does not phone home. The people behind CoverScout claims that they need my Mac Serial number and MAC address to provide me with "superior customer service", and my email so that they can send me spam.  
(Version 2.0)

KAINJOW  I'm looking for an app to get artwork for songs that don't have artwork, so I tried CoverScout which has the option "Albums with missing covers." Nothing shows up, even though I have several albums with no album art. Plus at $20, it's a little steep.  
(Version 2.0)

JOLIVIERLD  A heavy piece of quite-confusing shareware that's far from "cheap".

Oh and the iTMS won't work (yes, I know Apple restricted the access recently, but still this is misleading.)  
(Version 2.0)

ADINB  Greatly improved interface, with ITMS, Google & Amazon coverart searches. If your album name is even remotely close, it'll find the art. I haven't had any luck with ITMS art yet, which may be because of the recent ITMS "upgrade" to prevent external art access.

My only gripe so far is that it takes a minor step backwards in forcing you to search a single ITMS/Amazon store at a time -- the previous version was much easier to search the various Amazon stores for import coverart.  
(Version 2.0)

CARLSONVOMDACH  Coverscout is by far the best of all the products I've testet. I could add covers to all of my albums with almost no effort. Great App.
