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.
