Album Art

For all you Mac fans out there, you'll not doubt by now have downloaded iTunes 7.

It feels great to use, and the album art fefatures are really cool.

Of course, I have a reasonably eclectic music collection, and the automatic album art download facility is good, but it doesn't grab a lot of stuff that I have.

Enter my latest obsession: Downloading Album Art

I can't stop.

For the last two days whenever I've sat down at my computer and fired up iTunes, the first sign of a blank album cover and I'm off to Amazon to find it. Then I start searching the web in general.

All I'm wondering now is: which will come first? All my music with covers downloaded, or me just getting bored with it?

Or will I take it to the next level and start creating my own album art for CDs that I can't find on the net?

Yeah... I can take photos of the really old and obscure CDs!

Ok, so there is an upside to this madness - I am systematically replacing my 'borrowed' music with legit versions where possible. Yet another example of the record co's not gettting it.
