Display iTunes4 album covers with currently playing track
Authored by: svendsen on Apr 29, '03 11:28:26AM
There's also a great freeware app called Clutter that automatically looks up the album cover for the currently-playing song in iTunes. You can then drag that album cover to your desktop, and double- click it next time you want to listen to that album. It also allows you to copy that cover image to the clipboard. Then, if you use Get Info on a song in iTunes 4 and go to the Artwork tab, you can paste it in there.

Display iTunes4 album covers with currently playing track

Clutter really is a very nifty application. Even when it can't find the cover by itself, it has options for you to manually specify the search either in Amazon or in Google, and once you find it, you can just drag the image from your browser into the Clutter window.

And from the author's web log, it seems he is already investigating how to make Clutter integrate nicely with iTunes 4.... :-)

Recent versions of Clutter have a "copy cover to iTunes" menu option that saves a few steps. I use it all the time, it's my favorite feature of the most recent upgrade I did.

My only wish would be for some way to modify ID3 tags (album art et al) on "authorized" machines. I've got my laptop, a PC at work, and a PC at home; I've moved most of my music to the two PCs in order to save space on my laptop, now that iTunes is available for Windows. Unfortunately, in order to modify the info for a given track, I need to actually be sitting at the PC. Ah well.
