Coding Snack: CovArt Ops - Scan music collection for missing covers/artworkA dc member requests: "Topic says it all. I know it is somewhat possible with iTunes by going coverflow happy and looking for the grays, but I hate that program. Ideally, I'd want a big list, sorted by album title. An album could be determined by the directory, as I use one directory per album. Please please PLEASE do not make different artists turn it into different albums, since that's what's making most programs I found throw up with 15 similar covers for different artists - directory criterium alone is all I need. It should look for the cover in a cover.jpg, folder.jpg, front.jpg as well as tags in the files if files doesn't work. Albums that end up without any cover art should light up red in the list. It would also be nice if it was possible to see how the program found the cover (from a file (filename), from tags, etc) and whether it is consistent. A way to get the directory the album is in (Copy to clipboard) would also be awesome. Reason I'm looking for this is that I lost a crapload of my album art when iTunes messed up my computer, and I'm not letting it back on lest it destroy stuff again.. but I do want to go through my 500+ albums to restore covers where they might be missing. P.S.: Used the Dina font for years, always been a lurker without account till now. Great website! ^^" Click here to read about the program written by DC member skwire, CovArt Ops.. |
