Amazon Album Art Widget
Amazon Album Art Widget is a free program developed by Widget-foundry for Mac users. It falls under the category of OS & Tools and aims to enhance the album collection in iTunes by providing album covers from Amazon's extensive database.
By utilizing Amazon's vast catalog, Amazon Album Art Widget allows users to easily import album art into iTunes with just a click. While it would be more convenient if the program integrated directly with iTunes, the import process is straightforward and adds an extra step to the workflow.
The program has a high success rate in finding album covers, unless the user is searching for something particularly obscure. However, importing the covers can be a bit tricky. It is important to have only a track selected for the artist being searched, rather than the entire album or playlist. Clicking on the album cover in the widget provides a direct link to the corresponding Amazon page for more information.
One drawback of Amazon Album Art Widget is the difficulty in removing accidentally imported covers. The developers suggest selecting the track in iTunes, command-clicking, choosing "Get Info," and navigating to the Artwork tab to manually delete the cover.
Overall, Amazon Album Art Widget is a decent option for users who want to enhance their iTunes album collection with album covers. However, it does have some quirks and frustrations that may need to be overcome.
