I changed

From: url = "https://www.google.com/images?q=" + EncodeUrl(artist + " " + album) + "&gbv=2"
To: url = "https://www.google.com/images?q=" + EncodeUrl(artist + " " + album) + "&gbv=2&tbm=isch"

In the google.boo script. And now it works. Not sure if it will be 100%... hmm.

Nevermind... its broken on different files now.

Looks like I was also possibly hitting the flood protection. With the script change and queue manager turned down to only 1 search at a time, I'm getting results back every time now... will see if it continues to work.

Google Image script will continuously fail on the same song over and over again

If it's a reproducible problem with searching for a specific song, then let me know exactly what album and artist triggers the problem and I'll look into it. If I can get it to happen here too, chances are I can fix it.

Thanks. Album Art Downloader doesn't do library management tasks like renaming existing files and folders, is that what you were asking?

I did not understand what you mean.
When I find covers that have the same name, Album Art Downloader XUI asks me if I want to overwrite or rename the new cover and I have to answer
all the times that I want to rename this does not overwrite the file present, and it's a break
Sorry I use Google translate

Ah, OK, I understand now, you want an option to always overwrite, or to always save with another name, rather than asking for every file. Sorry, Album Art Downloader can't do that at present. I didn't think people would be overwriting existing files very often!

I'll consider adding a "Don't ask me again" checkbox to the Overwrite window for the next version. I don't really like the idea of overwriting files without warning, though, so I'd have to be careful about it. Perhaps it would only apply for the current session, and be forgotten next time you run AAD.

I hope you enter this function, which for me is very useful if you need to download thousands of covers as in my case.
Just add the function to autorename and there is no risk of deleting anything
Thanks

Thanks for reporting this. From the log, I can tell this happens when you click on a source to highlight results from it, but I haven't been able to reproduce it here. Does it happen consitently for you? Or did you notice anything unusual about the search you did or the source you clicked on?

Alex,
Amazon script seems to be struggling to get the full size image. I have found this frequently but thought you would like an example, so here is the last one I noticed:

http://www.amazon.com/Electric-Warrior-T-Rex/dp/B006HH5Y6K

Eli

Thanks for the report. When I do a search for that album with the Amazon (.com) v0.11s script, I get:

http://www.amazon.com/Electric-Warrior-Mar.../dp/B000002KP3/
http://www.amazon.com/Electric-Warrior-Ses.../dp/B000001JKJ/

Not the B006HH5Y6K one you mention. I notice on the page you posted that the image is only 300x300 and has an AutoRip stamp stuck on top of it, so I'm not too concerned about not getting that one...

wouldn't it be possible (in a not that difficult manner) to handle
two albums at once in the batch downloader? (two should be enough for speedup purposes)

Great, thanks for letting me know. I'll give it a few more days in case anything does pop up, then consider it fixed and release 1.01 with this fix in it.

For doing multiple albums at once, yes it would be technically possible, although not simple to do and prone to subtle errors (like the one you found!). Your best bet, really, if you want to do this, is to launch two automatic downloader windows. Select half your albums for one to find, and half for the other. You do run a higher risk of encountering throttling and other protections against mass downloading from the source websites though, depending on which ones you use.

Hi Alex,

when I run multiple searches at once and i change the minimum pixels in session 1 it also changes it immediately in the other,
is this the desired behavior?
i usually search for covers with min. 800 px, after that min. 500 px, after that 300, to get the best possible size,
however because of that i have to wait till all the jobs finish to change them to the other pixelvalue

The minimum and maximum image sizes are cross-application settings, not per-window. However, I agree that if you have started an automatic download search then it should take the settings at the time you start the search and not allow them to be altered after the search has begun. I've added a feature request for that: https://sourceforge.net/p/album-art/feature-requests/105/

When I next do a new version, I'll include this change with it.

Maybe I’m missing something??

But how do you embed the album art into the MP3s so I can use the art with my phone, Google music, iTunes…. I see it saves it only as a .jpg

Want to add cover art to over 80 top 100 play lists.

Thanks

Thanks for your quick reply!

SO I added foobar and put some MP3s there for a test, but it labels the artist as "Various artists"

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks again!

OK i fixed the "Various artists" issue by removing the "album artist" ID3v2 tag.

but now i still dont see a way to embed art into mp3, it still wants to save it as folder.jpg

Is the eCover.to (Cover-Paradies) script (v0.16) not working for anyone else? I'm getting 0 hits on it with every search, even though there are covers on the site when I check manually. I'm using the latest version of AAD.

you save it to folder.jpg first, your albums should each be in a seperate folder,
then put all albums in a foobar playlist, select all songs and rightclick --> tagging --> batch attach pictures, next window should say folder.jpg or *.jpg

now foobar adds all the .jpg files it finds in the folder where the song is to the id3tag

Thanks for reporting this. I've just uploaded v0.17 which should be working again. Let me know if you have any trouble with it: cover-paradies.boo

Wow, thanks for the fast response!

The script is now working again for the most part. The only thing is I don't think I'm getting all the matches I should. I'm pretty sure it's only returning the first page of results from the website. One search I did and noticed this happening was "Motorhead - Ace of Spades". Doing the "extended search" manually on the website yields 4 pages of results, 6 albums per page, at least 2 pix per album. AAD is only showing 14 results from eCover.to, which is the exact number of images on the first page of the site's search results.

It's not that big a deal as it only happens with a small number of searches, but it did keep me from getting the biggest images using AAD versus searching manually on the website in a couple of cases. I tried looking at the script and the website to see if I could figure it out, but it seems to be juuuuuuust a skosh beyond my meager ability to massage someone else's code.

Again, thanks for the work and great program. It's the best one out there for cover art.

Yes, that's right. The script is only written to fetch the first page of results - this is generally the case for all scripts.
