Looks like you're missing a " mark there, that should be "%artist%". If that was just a typo copying to the forum, then please copy the first 3 or 4 lines of the error popup which should contain the command line passed to it and the error message.

Can you use it to query the contents of a playlist in foobar (instead of querying the media library)?

Yes, that sounds like a good idea. I'll add that into the next version. The foobar browser will have a drop-down for picking either All Media, or one of the playlists.

"C:\Program Files\AlbumArtDownloader\AlbumArt.exe" /ar "%album artist%" /al "%album%" /p "$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)'%artist%' - '%album%' - Front.'%extension%'"

The first time this crash appeared.

From that error log, I suspect I know what the problem is - could you check if the path to that album includes { or } characters please? If it does, then there is currently a known bug with paths including those characters, a fix for which will be included in the next version. If not, then please let me know the full path to the album so I can figure out if something else has gone wrong.

Thanks,

I am finding more and more use of this excellent app: Album Art Downloader XUI. In iTunes I got iTSfv to pass Artist and Album information to Album Art Downloader XUI to search for Artwork. AAD saves it as Folder.jpg and when you validate the album in iTunes, the artwork is detected and embedded to tracks.

Thanks again Alex!

Looking forward to a release from you with the previous folder name fixes.

AlbumArt Downloader XUI v0.14 Released

Some fairly big new features added this time round. As has been much requested, it is now possible to use a file path pattern to determine Artist and Album information instead of using tags. Another request was to be able to search just a specific playlist from Foobar, rather than the whole library, so I've added a playlist picker to the Foobar browser. Of course, you can still choose Entire Library there.

To use the file path pattern thing, start the File Browser as usual, and click the Options link. There are now two additional options, which you can use to choose between Tags or File Path Pattern Matching. If you choose the pattern matching option, there is also a box where you can enter the pattern your files are named by, for example \%artist%\%album%\* would match against c:\music\muse\showbiz\01. Sunburn.mp3 as Artist = muse, Album = showbiz. Or, to use an example from a few posts earlier, U:\Cream - Fresh Cream (1966) [FLAC] {DCC Gold Steve Hoffman remaster} could be matched by \%artist% - %album% (*\*. If you've got a really freaky naming scheme which can't be covered by just * and ? wildcards, then you can include literal regular expression code in the pattern in between " marks. For example, the previous pattern could be improved as \%artist% - %album% ("\d{4}")*\* to avoid problems with albums with ( characters in. If you don't want to use the built-in %artist% substitutions, any regex capturing group named artist (or album) can be used.

If you have a freaky naming scheme, and you don't know regular expressions, and you really don't want to use tags, then post some examples of your paths here and someone who does know regular expressions can probably help you out.

The file path pattern matching is generally much, much faster than tag matching, but may be less reliable, depending on how well organised your collection is.

I've also fixed the following bugs:

Fixed bug with paths with {} characters
Characters which can not be part of filenames are now automatically replaced by underscores when substituting placeholders.
Fixed bug when closing a prior instance while a new one was starting up

Thanks for that report. I can confirm that with 0.14, closing the foobar browser window when the foobar com automation component is not installed will cause this crash. The preview window and order of closing does not affect this, and of course foobar itself is unaffected. I will have a fix for this in the next release, but until then I'd recommend either installing the com automation component, or not using the foobar browser (which doesn't do much without it installed anyway).

Yes, fair enough, and it should absolutely not crash under those circumstances, I know. It was my own mistake that crept in while adding the playlist functionality, and I'll fix it as soon as possible.

The other crash you report is related to trying to communicate with an existing instance of the app which is not responding (possibly because of the earlier crash? Only a guess). If it happens again, please check Task Manager to see if there is an AlbumArt.exe entry in the processes list. If there isn't, then please let me know as something else strange is going on and I'll need to investigate. If there is, then you can End Process on AlbumArt.exe and avoid having to restart to clear the error.

In either case, I'll see what I can do about adding some automatic recovery for this situation.

OK; good to know. I've tried adding some additional robustness to the single instance code, hopefully faced with the same situation now it would automatically recover itself (although potentially having two instances running, if one could not be communicated with).

I've uploaded 0.14.1 which should hopefully resolve these issues - If you could give it a try and let me know if you encounter them again (or any others, of course!), then that would be appreciated. Download links remain the same:

AlbumArtDownloaderXUI.exe, or AlbumArtDownloaderXUI.zip

QUOTE(dano @ Feb 24 2008, 11:22)

I didn't write Amazon.de, that's one of Marc's. Looking at it, though, I don't think it can determine the image dimensions without downloading the image. The .com one uses the Amazon web services API, which does give that information. The .de one relies on reading the Amazon html pages, and the information just isn't there.

I'm not sure why you aren't seeing the size being automatically updated. Are you saying that the full size image has loaded, but the size for it is not updated? Or that the full size image is not being downloaded at all?

Oh ok, so the best would be to drop the html version (it also gets images with white borders) and replace it with a web api version. I figured I just have to replace .com with .de in url request but not in the namespace to make me a .de version. It seems to work fine.

QUOTE

Yes. Some scripts don't get the image size, so I thought they would show it if I let them download the complete images.

Yes. Some scripts don't get the image size, so I thought they would show it if I let them download the complete images.

If that web api version of the .de script works, that's good news, it could replace the html one. Do you know of any test albums to search for that the .de version returns differently from the .com version?

The automatic image downloading thing is a mystery, I can't see why that wouldn't be working for you. To test this, try deselecting all scripts except Coveralia (a slow source that doesn't have sizes). With the automatically download fullsize images option on Never, search for an album. You should get around 3 images back, usually front cover, back cover and CD. The image size should be "Unknown", and the thumbnails fuzzy (make the thumbnails larger if you can't tell). Then, click on the "Only when size unknown" option, and one of the results should show a little browse globe icon in the top left of the thumbnail, indicating it is downloading. After a few seconds, the thumbnail should become sharp and the image size filled in (usually around 1000 x 1000). Another of the results should then get the globe icon indicating it is being downloaded, and so on until all are completed.

No. I did look into this back in version 0.13, but while the Foobar library has the %album artist% titleformatting value for this, there appears to be no standard ID3 tag for compilation albums.

It isn't exactly a link, it is a namespace. They look like links, for uniqueness reasons, but don't actually have to even be resolvable.

The important thing about it is that it must exactly match the namespace of the returned xml data. If you look at the XML data returned from amazon, it starts like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><ItemSearchResponse xmlns="http://webservices.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/2005-10-05">...

The xmlns bit defines the namespace, and it is this that the namespace in the .boo file must match.

Thanks for the list of domain suffixes too. I'm not sure what the best way to deal with this is, whether to bundle a script for each domain, or have one script and come up with some way of setting the domain to use in the UI. I'll do some experimenting, anyway.

You could check for the ALBUM ARTIST tag in the files, it's very common among foobar users. It's also the same name for all tag formats.
I've checked if mediainfo can read it. At least the GUI shows the tag, although on mp3 it cuts the first 3 letters of TXXX frames, but I mailed the author, he has already fixed the issue.
Of course I don't know if the DLL returns all tag fields, but maybe you can give it another look.

The TXXX ALBUM ARTIST tag appears to be a foobar specific thing. Other media players use the BAND (TPE2) tag, or a TXXX ALBUMARTIST tag (no space), and I've even heard that WMP 11 stores the Artist as the ID3v1 artist tag and Album Artist as the ID3v2 artist tag. There may be other schemes too. The problem is that there appears to be no standardisation at all, and for the File Browser I can't assume that the tags were written by foobar2000.

My file-scheme for example is "E:\Musik\mpc\Alice Cooper\[1999] Life And Crimes Of Alice Cooper CD 2"

Is it possible to exclude the Year: "[1999]" and the Volume: "CD 2"? Without these information the results are mostly better. Is this possible and how?

Another question is , how to improve results at albums with various artists? These albums are displayed as "Various" in the "Artist"- naming field of Album Art Downloader. Are there better results if I use other terms than Various?

Thanks for your help

I have just now discovered your tool. It is absolutely, hands-down, the best, most complete tool I have used bar none for covers. Every aspect of it has been well-thought out, from using tags or dire structure, size of the existing image, etc.etc.etc.. I am so impressed, I can't stop smiling! You have saved me immeasurable amounts of time in scanning or searching the web for covers!!!!

ThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyou!!!!!!!

So, do you have a paypal link? There are few programs out there that deserve it more....

Yes, this is possible. Try:

CODE

\mpc\%artist%\"(\[\d{4}\] )?"%album%"( CD \d+)?"\*

That assumes that both the date the CD number are optional, but that all music is under \mpc\... If either of those assumptions are wrong, it will need tweaking.

I would guess that would depend on how the source being searched has classified them. You might try just searching for the album name without anything in the Artists field, that will probably work for most sources. The file-scheme can be tweaked to make the Album come out blank when the folder is Various like so:

CODE

\mpc\"(Various|%artist%)"\"(\[\d{4}\] )?"%album%"( CD \d+)?"\*

Thanks for your kind words! It is really great to know when my work is appreciated, but I've also got to acknowledge my own debt of thanks to the residents of this forum who have suggested many of those features, and helped me track down bugs when they've appeared.

I hadn't set up a paypal link - it was something I was considering if I ever got round to putting together a proper website and documentation for a 1.0 release. But, as you specifically ask, any donation will be gratefully received here: Paypal Donation

Hi Alex,

Album Art Dowloader has grown from strenth to strength -it's definitely the best tool I have found.

As the new owner of a HTPC I wonder wether you have ever looked at adding DVD covers as an additional capability? The concepts involve seem very similar to me.

Thanks, David.

Hey everyone. Hoping to get some guidance here...
I've used the original Album Art Downloader up until now but finally decided to try this out. Got net3.5 all installed and then this (version 0.14) but now when I load the executable I just get a properly titled black window. I can resize it... if I move the mouse around the cursor changes to text input or hyperlinkink cursors.. but... nothing I can do.
HALP plz!

There's no particular reason why DVD covers can't be found using this tool, it all depends on the source. For something like Google Images, they'll be returned already. Other more specific DVD cover sources could be written too, which in some cases might just be a modification of an existing script.

I don't think there's any equivalent to ID3 Tags for DVD's, but the folder browser using path pattern matching would still work.

Sorry, Ryran, but this is a complete mystery to me. I've searched around and found no likely explanations, so I can't give you any suggestions on what might be causing this or how to fix it.

An idea is to show the size of existing albumart in pixels instead of in kb in the file browser, that makes more sense to me at least.

Thanks for the suggestion, but this would require each existing image to actually be loaded from disk, resulting in a considerable decrease in performance. The current system does not need to actually load the image files to display the file size.

A very simple request: Tab and Shift-Tab highlight the previous entry (as it once did). That way you don't have to manually delete the old entry, but can simply start typing.

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking for here, could you be more specific? If you could tell me in what state the program is (including where the focus is, if you can tell) when you click Tab or Shift Tab, what it actually does, and what you expected it to do, I can probably fix this.

What I mean is if you're in the Artist field and Tab to the Album field, the previous album in that field is already highlighted, so you can simply type over it. Conversely, if you're in the Album field and Shift-Tab back to the Artist field, the old artist in that field is already highlighted.

I don't know your native language, so if that's not clear, I can provide images to explain better what I mean.

It's not a big deal. It just saves a little time manually deleting the old info already in the field. It used to work that way (at my request), but somehow got changed somewhere along the line.

Thanks.

From the error report, it appears that Album Art Downloader was unable to determine the correct file extension for an image format. I can fix it so that it won't crash in this case (and I will do, for the next version), but it would be really useful if you could let me know which album, artist and image source it came from. That way I can figure out what image format it is, and why it wasn't detected correctly.

AlbumArt Downloader XUI v0.15 Released

Mostly bug fixes in this release, and a couple of minor improvements that have been requested. I've also improved the reporting of x64 issues. I don't have a 64 bit copy of Windows, so no testing has been done on that platform, but the default behaviour should no longer be to crash. Instead, you should be requested to install the 64 bit version of the MediaInfo dll. The installer should also automatically detect Win64, and offer to take you to the download page for an installer for the x64 version of MediaInfo.dll that I've put together. The reason I haven't just bundled both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of the dll in the main installer is that this dll is the largest part of the download already, and the 64 bit version is double the file size.

Also in this release I've refactored the Amazon search scripts into one common script and several optional regional variations. If you are using the installer, the you can just pick any of the regions (.com, .co.uk, .jp, etc...) to install. If you are using the zip file, then make sure amazon-common.boo is present, plus one or more of the other Amazon scripts, like amazon-com.boo, for example.

For those who are interested in scripting, these scripts now demonstrate the XUI object oriented script API of implementing the IScript interface. The amazon-common.boo script implements an abstract class which the other, minimal Amazon scripts inherit from - demonstrating one of the benefits of the object oriented approach.

List of other changes for this version:

Fixed bug with images whose formats can not be determined
Artist and Album text boxes now select their contents when tabbed to
Added Copy command to context menu for album art results
Upgraded to MediaInfo version 0.7.6.1
Fixed bug where closing foobar browser without com automation server installed would cause a crash.
Improved single instance mechanism robustness

Download:
AlbumArtDownloaderXUI.exe (Installer. Recommended)
AlbumArtDownloaderXUI.zip (zip archive for those who don't like installers)
.NET Framework 3.5 (required)
AlbumArtDownloaderXUI-MediaInfoX64Upgrade.exe (x64 version of MediaInfo - must be installed if you are running a 64 bit version of Windows)

Thank you for a great and very handy tool.

I recently found some quality images at Album Art Exchange

I thought I might take a crack at writing an albumartexchange.boo script. I figured I could use the google.boo as a starting point, but it was not long before I realized that I have no idea what I am doing.

With the acknowledgment that every web page will present the thumbnails and images slightly different, has anyone put together a general guideline for writing a script?

To be honest, although I would like to write the script myself, unfortunately, I think even with some pointers I will not be able to get a working script. If someone more capable has the time and thinks a new script for the Album Art Exchange site would be a good addition, I would be very interested in seeing a working script.

Thank you again for a great tool,
Brian
