Search for Cover with Album Art Downloader

[frankz]

Based on the information here I just tested putting -f "Cover.jpg" -p "<Path>" at the end of my command line in MB's tools and it worked just fine.

Edit: In MP3Tag I used -f "Cover.jpg" -p "%_folderpath%"

I always wanted to do this but never thought about how to actually accomplish it before, so thanks for the inspiration.  Have a wonderful day!

Thanks frankz, that's it!  The <Path> parameter was the key.  So for Johan_A_M, my previous string adjusted for using this instead of a fixed path would be:

Code

/ar "<Artist>" /al "<Album>" /t f,u /mn 300 /mx 3000 /o a- /ac /f "%artist% - %album%.%extension%" /p "<Path>"

Thanks to both frankz and sveakul. This is now working better than ever.

Very much very helpfully this extension    functions very well with my MusicBee version 3.3.7015.

Because I hear many rather unknown artists, I have searched in the past long with Google for a suitable album cover.

'Albumart' shortens this cover Searching uncommon.

In addition, this description also for laymen like me understandably

Many thanks for it     

ha! i have been trying to find out where all the hundreds of Albumart files that suddenly appeared at some time came from. what is the answer?

that link is helpful for query re my auto-saving images (if it works as i want/hope); but it does not answer the question i raised directly above .... where did all these Albumart files suddenly appear from (before i was using MB)? they all have unique names which must be linked to specific track (i imagine - i haven't checked file Properties to check)

I thoroughly love this cover search software.

I setup:
A toolbar button in Musicbee that, based on the selected track, searches the artist and album in Album Art Downloader






Directions:

1. Open MusicBee Preferences and select the "Tools" tab



2. add the application path (mine is C:\Program Files\AlbumArtDownloader\AlbumArt.exe) {just click the button on the right side with three dots then navigate to the exe file}

3. Make sure you set the parameters to: "<Artist>"  "<Album>"



4. click Save


---- You can stop at this point and just right click the file and use the "Send To" feature ----




If you wish to add the toolbar button as I did:

5. Right click your toolbar then "Configure Toolbar"




6. Click the plus sign to add a new button command



7. click the three dots and Set the command to the "Send To: External Application (selected file) [your #]"
Mine was #3 because Audition and MediaInfo were apps 1 and 2...



If you like my dark theme, feel free to try it (Click Here)

thanks. i got this to work; but i am a tad bemused - when you create the Toolbar Button, although i labelled button AlbumArt, how did it know to use the AlbumArt exe? because i do not actually embed the exe into that link.

[sveakul]

Because the Command line is pointed at External Application #3, which you can see in Step 3 of the directions has the application path specified.

Works great for me thanks!

the discogs api doesn't work when I put the token, something changed

[sveakul]

Are you searching using the AlbumArtDownloaderXUI application, which will search many sites at once not just Discogs?  You don't need your own token to use it.  The latest Discogs search script within the application, which updates automatically, is 0.28.

Can someone please do me the favor of testing it:

Is not returning any results from Discogs.  In the past, I NEVER had to enter an API for this as mentioned in the post below, but it seems people are having trouble either way (except the AAD developer of course!);  I don't use it often enough to know when the problem started here.
