Fetch Art for iTunes for Mac

User Reviews

• Pulls Majority of Cover Art for Old CDs

  SBinNC11/28/2011

  Pros

  Quick and easy. Offers web search for any images not found in images (most of my old CDs I used as trials needed the web search).

  Cons

  Some of the cover art is low resolution....

  Summary

  A time saver.

• NOT THAT GREAT

  Jablinski5511/28/2011

  Pros

  I managed to get one or 2 covers

  Cons

  I got one or 2 covers then had problems, so it put me off buying the full version. Worried about downloading things that create problems with my macbook.

  Summary

  Maybe I'll wait till there's a safe software. Would rather pay and get good quality

• Nice and fast.

  lusciousmango6/27/2010

  Pros

  Easy to install and use

  Cons

  Would have liked the ability to select different artwork for different tracks on a multiple search -- as it was, I had to limit my searches to one artist/album at a time.

  Summary

  Fast to use, and required me to take action on each cover (so I didn't blanket-change everything, ending up with mistakes). This anal-retentive gives it two thumbs up!

• I don't recommend it.

  Onera774/24/2010

  Pros

  it has shortcut that is embedded in the itune menu bar ,hence making it easy to fetch art without seeking the application.

  Cons

  almost always gets the wrong art for the album....at least 80%in my case.

  Summary

  i didn't like it b/c it actually never gave me the right art and it never gives u choices unlike other applications such as TUNEUP...so i honestly don't recommend it at all.

• Works well if art is available, which it is not always.

  rossmxt12/13/2009

  Pros

  Free, of course. Worked well to obtain art to print on a home made CD. Nice to have this very acceptable addition to iTune's Cover Flow view.

  Cons

  If downloading for more than one track or artist it seems necessary to quit "Fetch Art" and restart the application afresh each time.

• New version 2.5 coming soon

  Aric F8/11/2009

  Pros

  Free and easy to use. Automatically does batch downloads of entire playlists of album art. Automatically skips songs that already have album art. The author supports the app on a dedicated Fetch Art blog. Doesn't require a store account to get art.

  Cons

  Relies on information entered about each song in iTunes. If album names are spelled wrong, or Amazon has the wrong album art, it will grab inaccurate art.

  Summary

  I really didn't want to write a review, but add a comment: On August 15 Amazon will change how their web servers search for album art. They are requiring encrypting/signing of requests. I am working on a new version 2.5 of Fetch Art to support these new calls. After August 15 all previous versions of Fetch Art will stop working. Check back here for an update on August 15. It will be compatible with iTunes 7 and 8 and Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 and Intel and PowerPC Macs.

  dmac5714/22/2009

  Pros

  Works well within itunes.

  Cons

  Doesn't get all the cover art and sometimes its the wrong one(ditto for itunes)

  Summary

  Can't beat the price for software that can only help.

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Have been using this nice app for some years but this 2.o version still needs some work. Artworks are downloaded completely wrong and a series of "erros" pop ups keep showing.
