iTunes Album Art.

I got an iPod Nano (black like a ninja) for my birthday - just a few days early. Thank you, hubby! With it comes iTunes 7, and the fabulous new CoverWorks / album art features. So now I'm obsessed with finding cover art for all my esoterica. Here are some links to help you similarly afflicted audiophiles / obsessive compulsives find nice high-res art, unlike that on Amazon.com.

• Fetching iTunes Artwork - The original code / proof of concept. Not quite useful as a stand alone, but the links below rely on it.
• The Josher - Web Interface to search by artist / album.
• http://www.stfm.org/test/java/getAlbumCovers.cfm - Will return multiple results from artist or album name. There's even a version using Adobe's new Flex framework, though I didn't really find it useful, because I couldn't drag found images right out of the browser.

Enjoy!
