Google or yahoo image search. Amazon.com has just about any albumn cover you'll ever need!

Hope this helps!

I've had to resort to eBay on occasion for more obscure stuff, and when absolutely necessary, a digital camera for a picture the CD/Album.

AlbumArtExchange has some really nice stuff. Usually 600x600 images.

I installed the Demo version of Album Player and it populated a directory with some covers I was missing. It did and OK job. I wish E-Touch went out and looked for album covers automatically.  I also am trying out Xlobby. Xlobby does a better job at retrieving album covers but I don't like how the software handles ques/playlists. Xlobby also seems to either encrypt or hide the album art as I was unable to find it. Still messing with my setup to get it easy for someone else to use.

E-touch can get the ablum art for you but it's not as good as some of the other free options out there which is why i didn't look at developing it any further. I got the code from Lave LArs

It's not that tough to google the albumn art. Also, when you google the albumn art, you can pick and choose the art yourself. Filesize & better scans. I have tried xlobby and you only get what it finds for you. Also, if you dont like the albumn cover it gives you, your stuck with it. I actually have had it find me the wrong cover because people of the world named the cover wrong and xlobby found it and used it anyway. One of the reasons why I dumped it!

Also I dont think xlobby keeps the albumn art within your system as xlobby is meant to be plugged into the internet at all times, therefore when you fire it up, it the has to re-retrieve the albumn art (kinda like in a cache or a cookie), then stores the location of the albumn art on the 'net, kinda like a 'Favorite' or shortcut.

Use Etouch! It lets YOU do what YOU want to do, not what it thinks you should do.

I find almost all my album art by looking at these two websites under "music".

   www.walmart.com
   www.amazon.com   <-- for more obscure stuff

I use Uncle T's software which I LOVE ! When I need images I also use Google image search. I find most anything I need off Google, and I can get a good resolution image.
Even if I DL a "promotional use only" mixtape I can find the images I need from Google.
