I have been using Album Art Aggregator http://team.thenexusnet.com/nexus/AAA/.
It is free, simple, will do batch stuff (hit ctrl-A & it will grab art for everything, if it can find it). You can then arrow-key down through the tracks looking at the images. Double-click pulls up the 3 most likely images, and double-clicking on one of those substitutes it for whatever's already there. If nothing was found, double-clicking on the album pulls up the info- modifying that (eg, deleting "disc 1" in the title) and hitting return often finds art. (note: this does not affect your tags- it's only the search field. this is not a tagging application). I don't think the program embeds art in tags, and it saves the art as "cover.jpg" in the folder for the album (I think it also requires that the folder structure be artist/album, but not sure). Anyway, it got me through many 100's of albums fast; then I could go back & edit at leisure. Media Monkey also does this, maybe better, and does tags (but it used to mess up your files by overwriting them with tags... this has been fixed, but, well... AAA doesn't mess with tags at all. That said, MM is very nice. PS: I used AAA, then noted what art was missing or needed fixing as I scrolled around with my Duet controller. Once I fixed stuff, the controller didn't reflect the changes... confusing. The trick is to do a hard reset of the controller. Pulling from another post, do the following and then the controller will reload its album art cache: >From http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48821 > do a factory reset of the controller (power off, then hold down the "+" > key while powering on -- at least I *think* that was the sequence) and > all was fine.
