Do any of you guys know of a tool or plug-in that will search my itunes library for tracks that are missing the album art?
I have been wading through my itunes library for about the last two days trying to make sure I have the album art for all my tracks and its getting to be a real pain.
Last night I found Fetch Art which I thought would do the trick. Nope. It downloads all of art for every song it can find from your library. But it won't tell you if there was already art present. It just allows you to replace everyting with whatever it finds.... arrrg

hey dude :)
i use Fetch Art to GET the artwork, and it usually works quite nicely.
To assemble all songs without artwork, go to the awesome iTunes Applescript site, http://www.dougscripts.com/itunes/ and download the script called "Find Songs w-o Artwork". I think you have to be in your main library, select ALL the songs, then run this script... after you have installed the script and rebooted iTunes, of course. This script will create a new playlist with all songs without artwork. Then, select them all and run the Fetch Art Applescript. Depending on how many songs you have, this process will take a while.
When Fetch Art presents you with all of the artwork, it's results window does not respond to the Select All command. So, click on the first result in the list. Then scroll to the last one, hold down the Shift key and click the last one. This should select ALL the songs within Fetch Art's search results. Then hit the "Add artwork to iTunes" button and it should do its trick!
And BTW, if you don;t know of this beautiful iTunes visualizer, called "jewel Case", GET IT! It is a great way to display your songs and their artwork with stunningly beautiful creation of a CD jewel case.
