Find your missing iTunes album art
This post was published 4 years 1 month 25 days ago which may make its actuality or expire date not be valid anymore. This site is not responsible for any misunderstanding.We long have had a tool in place to find and retrieve high resolution (600 x 600) artwork from iTunes. But that was all dependent that you KNEW what artwork you had missing.
Artie solves the ‘KNOWING what artwork you are missing’ problem.
Artie is a service that utilizes Amazon.com’s public database of images to retrieve any missing cover art for your iTune’s library. Just upload your easy-to-find iTunes Music Library.xml file, wait a second while it analyzes everything, and drag the artwork straight into your running iTunes program. The correct art is found more then 95 percent of the time, however databases aren’t perfect, so it’s possible you might get a Yanni cover for your new G-Unit CD, for these few mistakes, we appologize.
Mind you these guys don’t have ANY privacy policy in place, so you can potentially be tying you music tastes to your IP, but in the grand scheme of things that is not the worst since there is no personally identifying material in your iTunes XML library. Also you only get 300 x 300 artwork – but thats better then none.
Artie did not work for me, after it uploaded it, it just went back to the previous page.
I can imagine it is a little overwhelmed with the hits, when I tried it again – it did the same thing.
same here. uploaded and no results. servers are probably being stressed by hits.
Looks like Apple disabled the high resolution version of he artwork. probably still there just the code needs to be updated..
Here is the update.
