First been using this soft qll dqy long to find covers, just love it.
Yet there is one thing i would love to do with which is not currently that easy. I would like to find artist photos using this soft.
I see two choices:

If you have a collection sorted by artist/album, we could have a browser only by artist saving art in the artist directory . Yet this wouldnt work for compilation. Or we could save all artists art in one directory.

The other idea would be to use tags to browse that way anyone could use his collection.

Alexvallat: do you think it is possible?

There's already a script for FofR's artist image service included in v0.5: artists.trivialbeing.boo.

There isn't any specific support for saving artist images with a different scheme to album images at present, although I suppose that might be something to consider for future versions.

Yes i saw that script and that s i thought about it. I think finding a way to deal with artists art would be like the real bonus of album art downloader(even if it goes against its name tongue.gif ).

Thanks for your work. Couldnt live without this little piece of software now

It uses the system proxy settings. Go to Control Panel, Internet Options, Connections, Lan Settings, and fill in your proxy server settings. They will then be used by Album Art Downloader.

If you can't do that, or you need to set separate proxy settings for some reason, then open the AlbumArt.exe.config file in the Album Art Downloader program folder. Add to the end of it, just above the </configuration> end tag, this XML:
CODE
<system.net>
  <defaultProxy>
    <proxy proxyaddress="your proxy address" />
  </defaultProxy>
</system.net>

more details...

Incidentally, this method can be used with any .net application (and if you are really cunning, you can set it up as a machine or user-wide setting).

Then I don't know either, sorry. You could try uninstalling, re-downloading and reinstalling, in case something got corrupted somewhere along the line. Or you could try posting the exact error text, I'll google it and see if something turns up.

This is Marc's feature, he might have a better answer for you, although I know he is very busy with other matters at the moment.

As far as I can tell, the browser searches for a file with the Default Art Filename set in the options, in the same folder as the music file is found. This makes it unsuitable for your requirements, because the filename of the album art is not constructed from the ID3 tags of the music file, so there is no way to find it in another folder.

Hi,

As Alex just mentioned I am currently busy with my two new baby twin girls. cool.gif

Additionally my main computer is broken and I just have an old laptop. As soon as possible I will work on the tool again. I have a nice list of todos and ideas.

Just discovered a strange thing that might be the source of the problem, i dont have a config file. I looked in the program folder as in my application data folder. Nothing.
I have tried to change settings to force the creation, nothing. i have rights to create in this folder so dont really see why it isnt created... any idea?

Huh, OK, guess it must be sticking the config file in isolated storage then.

Nevermind, you can just create a plain text file with the name AlbumArt.exe.config in your album art program folder (next to the .exe), and put the text:
CODE
<configuration>
<system.net>
  <defaultProxy>
    <proxy proxyaddress="your proxy address" />
  </defaultProxy>
</system.net>
</configuration>

in it, and it should work fine.

If you want to find the per-user config file for whatever reason, it should live in:
\Documents and Settings\user name\Local Settings\Application Data\Marc_Landis,_Alex_Vallat\AlbumArt.exe_Url_random junk\version number\user.config

You could also add the <system.net> element to that, if you prefer.

How about using Alt+PrtScr to capture a screenshot of it?

You said you tried uninstalling and re-installing AlbumArt Downloader, did you use the latest 0.6 version to re-install?

no worries understandable life comes before computer stuff:) even a simple thing that if it even saved in the directories the music is in if you can save it in a %artist% - %album% deal so then u can just goto windows search and search for *.jpg in the music section then just cut and paste all the covers to the directory they are all stored in.

Hi Guys,

I'm new to Album Art Downloader, although I have been using its predecessor (Coverartdownloader) with REACT2. I've now managed to get this newer version working in REACT2 and have found it to be a big improvement smile.gif. Anyway, I've got 2 questions:

1.) Is it possible to change the order in which the returned results are displayed? For example, how can I get the results from Amazon to show up before the results from GoogleImage?

2.) Is it possible to limit the results by image size? For example, how can I get the scripts to return images no smaller than 300x300 pixels?

Thanks in advance, biggrin.gif

- p
AlexVallat
Hi Phaedra,

To change the order the results are displayed, go to File, Settings, Script Manager, and use the Up and Down arrows to move the sources you want to use into the order you want to use them.

It is not currently possible to impose a size limit on the images, but I think this functionality will be added soon.

Alex

Thanks Alex! smile.gif And thanks for your work on this Project! Now that it is possible to store album art in flac files I'll be using your tool a lot. biggrin.gif

Version 0.6 alpha 2 is released.

See first post for details.

Thanks a lot for the new version! I simply love the save-toolbar which allows for saving front, back and other images really quick. smile.gif
However there is one small bug report: When closing the settings TAGZ like %artist% and %album% used in the save-toolbar get updated with the strings in the respective fields. When opening the settings dialogue again instead of displaying %artist% and %album% the button-fields will show the current artist and album and upon closing settings will save them as such. This results in the next query, for a different album and artist to be saved with the wrong filename.

Also in combination with foo_run using the commandline
CODE
C:\<path to albumart.exe>\AlbumArt.exe -ar "%album artist%" -al "%album%" -p "$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)" -f "%artist% - %album% - Front.jpg"

I get the following error: Illegal Character in Save-Path
and upon clicking "continue" the Save-Path shows:
CODE
E:\MP3\Chumbawamba\1997 - Tubthumper" -f Chumbawamba

(everything after and including the " should be left out)

However when using the foo_run commandline
CODE
C:\<path to albumart.exe>\AlbumArt.exe -ar "%album artist%" -al "%album%"  -f "%artist% - %album% - Front.jpg" -p "$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)"

everything seems to work as expected. wink.gif

Thanks a lot for continuing to improve my favourite Album-Art tool. biggrin.gif

After some debugging it seems that this is a bug in foo_run - I will contact the author to have him verify it. For now the best solution is to have the path parameter at the end of the commandline

bug report? dont know.
i use this call:
CODE
"C:\Program Files\___mp3\foobar2000\coverart\albumart.exe" -ae on -pf on -ar "%artist%" -al "%album%" -p "$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)folder.jpg"

and here is what new version is doing when i run it:[
a) if there is no folder.jpg file in directory it pops up window with "unexpected error" with error msg:
"Incorrect directory name.
."
(i dont have english .net i translete the meaning of msg)
and buttons "More", "Continue", "End"
b) if there is already folder.jpg file in directory it pops up window with "unexpected error" with error msg:
"Part of the path U:\mp3\!!!grab\Nomak- - Combine\folder.jpg wasn't found."

If i press End it end if i press Continue it open the main window but dont start any search and when i try to engage some search it just popsup the same msg again. when i press "More" it open window with some kind of crash report (but its also somehow translated) but if it will help by any means ill paste it here:

Nice art downloader, I like the inclusion of the artists.trivialbeing.org script smile.gif

I am having some problems using this with foo_run.

My command is:
CODE
"C:\Program Files\AlbumArtDownloader\AlbumArt.exe" -ar "%artist%" -al "%album%" -f "folder.jpg" -p "$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)\"


It loads up correctly, finds the album art, then when I try to save it says "Could not find a part of the path ..."

For example, For LCD Soundsystem, the Save To dialog shows "K:\Music\Permanent\L\LCD Soundsystem\" which IS the folder storing the files. So the path is correct it seems. My K drive is an external drive, could that be an issue?

So I changed the command to this (removed trailing slash):
CODE
"C:\Program Files\AlbumArtDownloader\AlbumArt.exe" -ar "%artist%" -al "%album%" -f "folder.jpg" -p "$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)"


This gives the error: "Access to the path ... is denied"

Also, adding "-pf off" does not turn off the preview of art in the folder.

i have similiar issue. the filename parametr didnt seemed to be parsed in default "save to" textbox. i find my way around this with saveto toolbar. ive made two new "folder.jpg" and "%artist%.jpg" presets and these seems to work perfectly... just default way choose->dblclick->close (imho the fastest one) seems to be somehow borken or im doing something wrong biggrin.gif

What cartman said worked for me. The only problem is that when you choose an art and click your preset in the save toolbar, you have no feedback of it the file was saved. Be careful not to put the \ in the -p parameter. Myself i see if it is done through a Track display with album art in per second section

There should be no problems with having .net 1 and 2 installed at the same time. I have 1, 2 and 3 all installed myself!

If you haven't tried it already, please try deleting the file scriptcache.dll from your scripts folder, and running Album Art Downloader again.

Alex
Spirit_of_the_ocean
There isn't a file called scriptcache.dll blink.gif
There are only .boo files in there. I have installed Album Art Downloader 0.5

As I said the programm doesn't run because everytime I want to use it this message appears.

You should probably update to the latest version then. As this project is still in alpha/beta stage bugs get fixed with every release and providing support for outdated version is probably not going to happen. wink.gif

Yes I did this already but still the same behaviour which is really anoying the the programm won't work on my PC sad.gif

Must I have some other files?

Are you running 64 bit windows? Try deleting "Interop.Foobar2000.dll" and "Interop.Foobar2000Helper.dll". You won't be able to browse the Foobar library, though.

Question - is there an ETA on a new release that fixes the -f problem we're experiencing?

Request - can you include an option (probably would have to be in an .ini file, not a commandline switch) that would allow us to use the original commandline switches so we can have backward compatibility with REACT2? Right now we can't use it with the newest versions.
AlexVallat
I've been working on a new version for several weeks now. It has ended up being a complete rewrite though, I'm afraid. It does maintain backwards compatibility for scripts, and for command lines (including the "artist" "album" "path" parameters CoverDownloader used). It also features a substitution-based save path, so you can have something like "c:\album art\%artist%\%album%\%source% (%size%).%extension%" and it would end up saving "c:\album art\muse\absolution\amazon (400x400).jpg" or whatever.

Unfortunately, as it is a rewrite, there is certain functionality that has not (yet) made it in there, most notably the foobar and file browsers, and re-ordering sources.

I've only just started talking to Marc about it, so I don't know how it's going to play out yet, but in any case I'll put up a preview of it here in the next few days.

No, it should not be installed in the foobar directory. Those two dll files are in the Album Art Downloader program folder. If you aren't running on 64 bit windows then it probably isn't them that are causing the problem though. I'm kinda running out of ideas here, I'm afraid.

Ok maybe I'm being a noob here but how do I save the actual art image without manually specifying the directory. In the output field it comes up with the right folder to save it into but I can't figure it out how to save it there. If I double click on the cover I want it brings up a Save To.. dialog. Help would be appreciated. Runs perfectly apart from this

Alex

Idea: There are some tools showing the exact used requirements like Fileanalyzer oder Process explorer.

Maybe If I have a list auf .dlls which must be installed then I could check if everything I need is there and maybe replace some .dll

Isn't it possible top have a tool which makes an error log?
Maybe then it would be easier ti find out where the problem lies.

So now:problems solved smile.gif
It seems the .net has been somehow damaged. I reinstalled it because paint.net doesn't wanted to work and then I tried Album art downloader.

So I don't know how .net was damaged but now I know what went wrong.

this is something i was trying to speak of here:

QUOTE

i have similiar issue. the filename parametr didnt seemed to be parsed in default "save to" textbox. i find my way around this with saveto toolbar. ive made two new "folder.jpg" and "%artist%.jpg" presets and these seems to work perfectly... just default way choose->dblclick->close (imho the fastest one) seems to be somehow borken or im doing something wrong


i solved it out with "save toolbar" just select image you want to save and click coresponding save preset on "save toolbar"... this works fine for me but i have to somehow change the way i use this software (dont mind it really)
