Awesome widget! Really useful! I was always too lazy to add artwork before but now this makes it so much easier! I like the options and it runs nice and fast. Good looking interface! Great job Dev!
Great widget, but every time Apple releases iTunes-Updates I have to cross fingers for compatibility.
For example: The Version 2.14 is actually not running with my iTunes 10.5. The Widget cannot find any Artworks...
with the new Itunes update 10.2.1 the widget doesn´t work, keeps saying that Itunes isn´t running, i tried everything and the problem continues, maybe it is time for an update, we need it because it is the best widget i have. Greetings from México
Uh oh. Seems to not work with recent iTunes update (10.2.1). I get an "iTunes is not running error." I restarted iTunes and reinitialized the widget and get the same error. Anyone else seeing this. Dang it, I love this widget!!
Hi all :)
Think I've found a bug : it's "impossible to connect to amazon" when my search string contains a single quote, this is this character : '
Perhaps a bug with the search field wich is not protected aginst it...
This is not a big problem since i've juste to escape the char to have it working, but fixing it for noobs would be cool :)
See ya' ;)
PS: Using version 2.13 of the widget with iTunes version 8.1.1 on mac os x 10.5.7
Very, very pleased. Does what it says.
Only wish is that it could somehow find larger pictures, big enough so that they wouldnt be blocky when in the full screen album flow mode in itunes, but I think this limitation is from Amazon, and not the software.
The old version uses to work pretty well. But with the new one (2.9), I can't import directly the covert art in iTunes. So, it's useless, isn't it ? Too bad 'cause this is a pretty good soft.
How very quickly did album art grabbing widgets/software become usless. iTunes 7 - does it all for you.
Thanks to the developer though! I've been using this one and it was nice.

Without a doubt one the best and most useful widgets. And in my humble opinion its also the best of its kind.
I like the fact that you can select the tracks you want the art added to. Also, the fact that you can choose from the sometimes different cover art that Amazon.com has for the same album gives you the chance to make the appropiate selection.
This and the fact that the developer makes frequent improvements is a great plus!
Slim (60k), fast, reliable. What more could anyone ask!
Just spent 30 minutes with the widget. It works well as far as suggesting the correct art and imports is just fine. Nice compact widget size is appreciated.
Would be great if the widget would automatically "listen" to the currently playing track or album and pre-populate the search field with the name. Would make this process even simpler.
This an absolutely fabulous widget... I stumbled upon the previous version, and I'm very pleased with the changes.
Also, I'm very appreciative of the price. :)
Keep up the great work!
Great widget but I have one question. Why is it with artwork downloading plugins and widgets, the size of the images are in the 300-700K range when added to the music file? If I simply go to Amazon's site and download the JPEG myself, it's only 16-50K? Is the widget saving it as a TIFF image or something? It doesn't really make sense to me. This may not seem much but add 300-700K to thousands of MP3s and it will cost you a lot of space overall.
For music lovers, this is a required "must have" widget. This is designed for those of us who like to have a beautifuly clean iTunes library. This bare-bones widget has a very simple interface that within 3 steps we are provided good size/quality images for our iTunes library. Highly recommended.

Hi folks,
Unfortunately some users are still seeing excessive CPU usage with this widget. I'm working hard to find and eliminate the problem and hope to release an upgrade very soon. In the meantime, anyone wishing to help tackle it can head for our bugtracker system:

All the best,

The interface is fantastic. Just three suggestions:
• There should be some way to add the artwork to the whole album other than by having to select all of them.
• If no song is selected in party shuffle, why can't it just choose the playing song?
• Why can't I add more than one art to a song? Choosing a different one just deletes and overrides the old one. iTunes does allow for multiple album artworks, you know.
Other than this, this is fantastic.
This is a really cool widget! I have always tried to get album art into iTunes but they always showed up small and looked terrible. This widget is so cool. Highly recommend!
Rad! Most Excellent.
One thing I wish is that it would automatically add the artwork to all track in a given album, but that's probably a bit of a pain to implement.
Also I think the 'Get from iTunes' button should be bigger or have a little more space around it. For me it's too small a target considering I'll likely be using that every time.
Anyway, a great widget. I might actually use Dashboard now!
Fantastic! It's so easy. I've tried other album art importers, but this is two clicks and you're done.
One minus is that there's no way to tell the widget that it's got the wrong album cover and to try again. You take it or leave it.
Cool app!!! thanks it reduces the amount of work to add album arts to my ripped CDs!!!
What would be nice is to see more than 1 cover when we enter just an artist name so that we can choose the one we like...
thanks again to the developer!!!!
