Hi
In the Amazon AWS registration, they ask for a credit card information.
Does this FindArt plugin creates any charges to my account?
thanks

The plugin doesn;t work with 7.6 and later when LMS changes the
databvase back to SQLlite.
I'm not sure if AWS registration has changed but you used to be able to
avoid supplying credit card info until you actually bought services.
The plugin does not require you to buy any service.

Work with this plugin for 2 years. Very good plugin.
But unfortunately it doesn't work anymore.
I can use the plugin, but when it comes to save cover it doesn't do
anything, not even an error message. Working with the latest firmware

Any ideas?

A Suggestion:
How about if a track is queued without art FindCoverArt Plugin finds it

The FindArt plugin provides a simple way to find and save cover art
from within SC.
Hmm, so Find cover art (v2.06) has been officially broken by 7.6?
That's the biggest shame, because it's just fantastic! :)
But, if so - perhaps this could be flagged in Plugins Settings with a

it will work again.

I have successfully used this plugin previously but am now running

FindArt does not work with 7.6.
There were changes made to art handling in 7.6 which requires an
update to FindArt plugin. I didn't want to do the update until 7.6 was

In 7.3 a track needed to be playing to search for art.

Because of a programming issue, the album art program needs at least
