Album Art Downloader

Album Art Downloader is a lightweight Windows software application that does exactly what its name suggests: it downloads album art according to user-defined settings.
The program relies on what the developer calls “scripts”, which are actually the sources that are checked by the program once the user writes down a search keyword.
You can look for either artists or albums, with Album Art Downloader coming by default with around 25 sources.
The searching process however can be further customized straight from the main window, with configurable parameters concerning the image size and cover types (front, inside, back, CD and booklet). Additionally, users can automatically download full-size images and configure an output location for the downloaded photos.
Once the search process comes to an end, Album Art Downloader displays all covers right in the main window, along with a small thumbnail and photo dimensions. A single left click on any of the available images opens a preview window, while a right-click lets you save the file with the standard settings or with a new name.
Album Art Downloader works smoothly on all Windows versions and an Internet connection is needed to search for covers online.
All things considered, the application does what it says and besides the fact that it’s very easy to use, it also provides plenty of options to configure the search task. There’s no help file available, but thanks to the straightforward approach we were talking about, chances are that you don’t need one.
