NEW: Search Amazon Book Covers v1.0

Here's a pretty basic Search-Amazon-For-Art script. It grabs the name, artist, and genre tags from a single selected book-type track in iTunes and lets you choose which of those tags to use as keywords in a search for book cover artwork at Amazon Books. Search Amazon Book Covers currently pings the US Amazon site, but it can easily be mod'd to work with their other sites, or as the basis for a search of some other site.

Updated Spareparts Section

A Correspondent via the AppleScript Users email list detected a problem with a script snippet of mine regarding grabbing the artwork data from an iTunes track with iTunes 9 and Snow Leopard. That very day I also had updated Export Artwork with a fix for a similar issue. At any rate, the snippet resides in the Spare Parts section and, to be more exact, the updated snippet with the fix is here.

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.

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.
