A better way to get cover art into iTunes database
Authored by: shadinger on Nov 11, '07 12:04:07AM

Hi,

This was exactly the tool I was looking for. Inserting external covers directly into iTune is for more effective than trying to add images to mp3s.

I know this is a MacOS site, but I wanted to inform that it also works perfectly on Windows XP - using Python on cygwin.

You need to change the file "c:\{windows}\system32\drivers\etc\hosts". It does not seem necessary to flush the dns. If you need : "ipconfig /flushdns".

Great work!

Thanks! Glad to know it works in Windows too. I'll note that in the documentation.

Just a note: you don't have to use the cygwin version of python - the native Windows version of python works as well.
