Sounds like a good program, but $40 is a little steep...

I tend to buy an Rip everything since I want it in Lossless (when Apple provides that I'll start buying from iTunes). So when I bought a new CD I would go to the Amazon site and download the nice 500x500 cover art. However recently I've noticed that for a number of new albums it is not possible to copy paste the cover art. Amazon seems to have blocked it. I don't know how this would affect CoverScout, which I've used and like. I guess Amazon didn't like having people use it as a cover source.

BTW I've also used Media Rage which does a passible job at finding both cover art and lyrics. Haven't done a side-by-side to see the quality of artwork each brings up. Media Rage doesn't (as far as I know) let you choose between different covers

I use Google Images....

I look forward to the day that I may have the higher quality 600 x 600 reference images for iTunes/AppleTV, and lower quality 300x 300 images embedded within the audio file. All the access-your-library-from-the-net services will not display artwork unless the artwork is embedded within the music file. If the cover art is referenced in itunes to the itc files, I am outta luck.
Basically, I want the best of both worlds; great quality artwork while within the Apple cloud, but also artwork that is platform agnostic.

I use Google Images as well. If Amazon will not let me drag and drop it to my desktop, I will just take a screenshot of it.

Try looking at ID3 Editor by Pa-Software. Not sure it is what you are looking for, but who knows?

While the program may be very capable, I would never drop $40 for such a limited use program. Seriously, what were the developers thinking? The absolute top price of a single-use utility like this should be about $14.95. It would be convenient, but I can do the searching fairly quickly myself (and have over the course of several years of iTunes ripping) and grab screen captures. If you have more money than time, the program sounds like a good thing.

albumart.org is free.

I've tried this program twice. The first time, the license wouldn't work. The 2nd time (current), it hasn't found a single missing album art for me. It finds some very strange images that have nothing to do with the CD. I have gotten no support from the developer either. Seeking a refund....
4-1/2 MICE? Come on MacWorld.

I'd love to use this app, but I don't have $40 to spend on a fancy Google Image Search client.
