Managing Artwork

UPDATED: Export Artwork v2.0

Export Artwork saves the artwork of the single selected track to a user-chosen folder as a PNG or JPG file, with scaling options. Default location is the folder containing the selected track's file, however any location can be selected.

This latest version fixes a problem creating the graphics file with iTunes 9 under Snow Leopard, and is generally updated after two years.

UPDATED: Embed Artwork v2.0

I've updated Brian Webster's Embed Artwork as universal binary, but otherwise there are no changes. This script simply re-embeds artwork into the files of the selected tracks. Handy for ensuring that artwork data travels with a file.

UPDATED: Art to Desktop v2.1

This Stay-Open applet will continuously update your desktop picture to the album artwork of the currently playing track. Art to Desktop v2.1 is just spruced up to work better with Snow Leopard, other minor enhancements.

UPDATED: Save Album Art to Album Folder v2.0

Save Album Art to Album Folder v2.0 is a collection of two scripts that will assist with exporting Album artwork to a track's parent folder, presumably the track's "Album" folder.

  • "Save Album Art to Album Folder" will export the artwork of the selected tracks or tracks in the selected playlist as a graphics file to the folder which contains each selected track's file--or a specific user-selected folder.
  • "Save Track Art to Album Folder" exports the artwork of the single selected track to its parent folder, replacing any previous version.

Read Me explains much more, including modifications you can easily make.

Universal binary for OS 10.5 and better only.

This latest version updates syntax for compatibility with Snow Leopard, streamlines some code, provides new bundled progress indicator app.

Tracks Without Artwork to Playlist is up to version 3.3 and fixes the compatibility problem with iTunes 7.7.1.

NEW: Export Artwork v1.0

Export Artwork replaces the script "Save Artwork to Folder". This script will save the artwork of the single selected track to a user-chosen folder as a PNG or JPG file, with scaling options. Default location is the folder containing the selected track's file (or your Desktop if an iPod track is selected), however any location can be selected.

UPDATED: Tracks Without Artwork to Playlist v3.1

I only updated this a few days ago, but I managed to get Tracks Without Artwork to Playlist v3.1 to create a playlist much faster.

UPDATED: Tracks Without Artwork to Playlist v3.0

Had some time to quickly update Tracks Without Artwork to Playlist to v3.0. It now runs as universal binary and has some performance fixes and finessings.

NEW: Search CD Universe for Album

My friend Kirk McElhearn has a very fine article at Macworld on working with album artwork: where to get it, how to get it, and so on. He mentions that the CD Universe website is a good place to snag album artwork and so I thought I'd slap together a quick script to search the site. Search CD Universe for Album will use the album tag of the selected iTunes track as the basis for a "Title" search at CD Universe. You'll have to manually navigate the site once the search results page comes up, but at least the script gets you started.

UPDATED: Tracks Without Artwork to Playlist v2.3

I've updated Tracks Without Artwork to Playlist to work with Leopard. Unfortunately, this particular download is just a plain .zip file--no fancy installer .dmg, at least for now. I've got to rebuild my little workflow that creates those so it can play well in Leopard.
