I can't use this app without it demanding I use the most updated version. Even though I delete all "previous versions" of this app from my system, I download/update the so-called "newer version", but it still makes the same demands. Anyone know of an alternative to this app? I'm particularly looking for something that will batch remove all artwork and/or associated files that song files have.

Version 3.9

One note: the download link is a disk image (500 KB), which contains a package (pkg file). The very same package (608 KB) I opened with Pacifist, and it contains zip file (464 KB), which in turn contains THE AppleScript and/or widget. Why is developer complicating things so much? Couldn't we have just a zip file to download?

Version 3.7

Great product. Have tried many other apps that purport to do iTunes cool does but yours is the first that works seamlessly. Get better after constant updates.

Version 3.3

i installed the update (3.1). no i get so commend: your selection contains no audio file! what´s wrong?

IF you can not import artwork to some MP3 files, please notice this mostly probably a bug of iTunes 4.9. iTunes 4.9 automatically changes some types of encoded mp3 files to QuickTime movie files. This will prevent the import of any artwork to these files. For details and temporary solutions until Apple fixes the bug, Please refer to this post in Apple discussion board.

Version 3.1

Been a disaster in the past. With 2.5 i had better luck. Past versions would often insert artwork for entirely different artists. Haven't had much trouble with that using 2.5. However, not all is well. It inserts the art into all songs of the same album, even if only part of the tracks are selected. It sometimes reports that all art has been found, when actually it has made no changes. It also is spotty about putting the URL into the comment when that feature is active. Worst, often when track, artist, and album are all present in the tag, iTunesCool will still insert artwork for the correct artist but wrong album. It seems to at least get the correct art as often as FetchArt, (about 60% of the time) but still has it's dreadful text-only interface.

Hey, have a go with media rage.....down-loadable on this site. Time best spent downloading it and using it, rather than having a huge rant.....Good Luck YAWN

Version 2.6

Some people need to CHILL. This app costs SIX bloody BUCKS. It HAS a trial period. Chill OUT. Thanks. NO I'm not the developer's friend! I'm just sick and tired of hearing people complain for nothing.

Version 2.5

Yes, I went back aqnd checked: "iTunesCool is distributed as a shareware, You may try it (please DO try it thoroughly) before purchasing a license, but the batch processing of tracks will be limited to 5 tracks. To enable full features, and if you think this is useful, you can purchase a single license for US $6. Thank you." THE AUTHOR OF THIS PROGRAM DOESN'T TELL YOU IN THE DOCUMENTATION THAT THE NEWEST VERSION CEASES TO WORK AFTER THE UNDOCUMENTED/UNSPECIFIED TRIAL PERIOD ENDS AND THAT IT EVEN CRIPPLES THE EARLIER VERSIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE INSTALLED. NOT NICE.

Version 2.5

The version I had been using worked fine, although it was crippled (allowing only two songs at a time to have their album covers downloaded). This was because I hadn't paid. When I downloaded the latest version, I never got to use it because I had waited until after the trial period had ended. Apparently, by installing the newest version, the newest version cleverly disabled the older version which Ihad been happily using and which I believe did not have a trial use period. I think this was a bit disingenuous because I don't remember reading that installing the newest version would take away the privelege of using the earlier version. I had intended to buy iTunesCool because it seemed to work fairly reliably, but not anymore because of the minor subterfuge. Musn't bite the hand that feeds you!
