Any chance of 'screen scraping' a website to pick up the cover art, for example using Amazon or AllMusic to grab the sleeve image ?

this isnt poss at the minute, but i find the best way to do it for mp3s is to use Tag&Rename to tag all the tracks nicely; use the "import from allmusic" option, and itll get all the names etc as well as putting the cover into the folder as a jpg and a review of the album as a text file..

then when you add the album, check the "import image/review" and it will grab them

if you use mp3s, then this is a great method, as im sure anyone respectable will be taggin anyhow...



oh, and if you dont use T&R, you can drag from IE

Vivitron 15 is right, there is no need for 'screen scrap' because you can simply drag-and-drop the image from page to the album icon in OrangeCD.

Yes.. this is fine for a small MP3 collection but unless Im wrong, you need to do this in Tag and Rename for each file INDIVIDUALLY.. am I wrong?

It would be nice to automatically get all info for all of them at once..
