After you talking about art already in the library, or downloading missing artwork?

There's a filter on the tools menu to filter files missing artwork. Then you can select all, right click, auto tag by track and choose "locate missing artwork".

Beware that the process doesn't stop to check if the artwork is right, it just grabs the first thing it finds for each track from the artwork sources in Tags(2). If you want a little more control, try the artwork downloader tool.

Hello there.

On MusicBee 3.5.8150, I cannot find the filter for missing artwork.

I managed to find tools -> artwork -> downloader, but it seems to offer the ability only to download covers for a few albums - and those were albums for the currently selected artist.

I found tools -> artwork -> album artwork manager, but clicking it seems to do nothing.

All of this seems jolly confusing to me! (Still, I am grateful for the software, which in other respects works well.)

The Album Artwork Manager is where the filter is now located.
Elaborate on "nothing happens when I click on it".
