Summary
I TOO JUST STARTED HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I'm using latest Snow Leopard 10.6.6. I suspect this has more to do with latest iTunes upgrade as I was using one day and next it wasn't-about the same day as you. Not familiar with Leopard but you can get your art by going to Google images(Control Copy Image) then Highlight each selection in that particular albumin iTunes. Go to File-get info.Then highlight the square art box and Edit-paste. I would like to see if this widget could export to an external hard drive as this is where my entire library is going (albeit backed up by Mozy) I bought TuneUp a while back but actually like the simplicity of this which appears more accurate for my needs. LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER!
Was excellent.

Pros
I've used this fantastic widget for a couple of year and it's never let me down.
Cons
Having said that,now when I try to download artwork It tells me that iTunes is not running.Itunes IS running and I'm playing tracks from the album.Dragging artwork from the Amazon site doesn't work either.
Summary
What's happened - I've downloaded the latest version which hasn't made any difference.I have a Mac running OS X v10.5 leopard.Please help. Thanks.Jay.

Works better than iTunes \"Get Album Artwork\"

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Thanks for creating this widget, it's great! 1. In iTunes, play a song without artwork. 2. Access this widget, click the little iTunes logo in the upper left corner. 3. When your artwork appears, click directly on the banner that says "Set as Album Art in iTunes" (I hit info to set my preference to change the current album, and not just the current selection) 4. Done! Additional notes: Clicking on the album artwork in the widget will launch your default browser, and take you to the Amazon page (if Amazon is set as your preference) Clicking on the grid icon in the upper right will bring up available choices if you wish to select a different album cover.
It just works!

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Works great, but something about its search feature makes it unable to find some things that I can find if I search on Amazon.com. For example, v2.7 fails to find anything for "surprise paul simon," but a search on Amazon.com returns that album as the first hit. Also, I'm curious why this widget sometimes returns album art that has bigger dimensions than I can find anywhere on Amazon.com itself (I guess that's good, but still it makes me wonder). I haven't discovered yet if the inverse is ever true. Finally, I'd like it if this allowed one to search on selected album, not just the currently playing album, even though it's pretty easy to select all tracks of the album and choose the selected tracks option. Good job.

Developer’s Description

By The Widget Foundry

Search album art on Amazon; iTunes import.

Search Amazon's catalogue for album art, then import it into the selected tracks in iTunes at the click of a button. It's that simple! Great for filling in the gaps in your imported CD collection.
