For Mariah Carey's Album called "Mariah Carey" it downloads the cover from her Best Of album. Or in case of the New York Voices it always downloads "sing, sing, sing" ...

Sorry, but it's not an exact science.  You normally have to manually find / edit a few once you do a batch retrieval.

Take care.

But it could at least notify me if it is not sure about the cover instead of just downloading a wrong one. Where does Jukebox obtain the images from? It cannot be that difficult to look up for an artist and the album. There usually only fits 1 possibility. And btw, the list view should have a column (just like genre, title, artist, etc.) whether the mp3 has an image or has not...

>> Where does Jukebox obtain the images from?
thats top secret

[Smiler]

I reckon it is Amazon.com as when I was able to get Cover and then went to Amazon they had the Albums whose art I had just downloaded in my music recomended page. !!!

Nope

[blabla]

us.buy.com and amazon.com

[Smiler]

So Mr. Kingsparta.
How do Amazon have exactly the albums I just downloaded the covers for??.
Do MJ have a cookie deal with Amazon or some such connection???

When I was beta testing the code that allows MJ to access the internet through a proxy server, the dialog box that popped up would list the destination address. I tried it with downloading cover art and the address was NOT amazon.com. I don't remember off the top of my head what it was, though. Maybe if I'm ambitious I can install that component again and check.

[Doof]

Well, I take that back. I can't try it again as I no longer have that file.

But trust me. It wasn't amazon.com.

If Amazone has the same many many many mistakes than MediaJukebox,they must have thousands cds return to them each week
You had a sleeve from the SAME artist,just not the good one.I can tell you about getting sleeves from another artist.And without any links.Not the same name,not the same first name,not the same album name

[zevele1]

got it,using Naviscope
Amazone
buy.com-buy music at low prices

[Doof]

Hopefully this will settle this once and for all.



As you can see by the screenshot, MJ is connecting to www.us.buy.com during cover art dowload.

I had never availed myself of this new (V8) feature so....
Last night I set up a whole bunch of files for image retrieval.
I chose the first track only of 180 albums, figuring I would manually link the image to the rest of the songs on the albums.
Of the 180 albums MJ retrieved 12 images.
Of the 12, 8 are not for the right album.
Of the 8, 4 are not the right artist.
Of the 4, 2 are not even CD covers - they look like the front covers of books.

I think I'll go back to http://www.cdcovers.cc and do it manually.

Not only Doof
For each search for sleeves,here are the sites contacted
amazon.com.music.search result
buy.com-buy music at low prices
allways in this order
Now funny thing:you do not get sleeves that are at Amazone & or buy.com if you go to they sites...............
Did many tests.But this one is about a very well know cd
Creedence Clearwater Revival    Green River

cdcovers is very good.And you can upload sleeves for make the data bigger

Or simply use the RealOne Player. Works perfectly.
