I've been reading the help file and some forum threads carefully, but I haven't been able to figure this out. Can MP3Tag automatically locate and download album art? I think not, but I wanted to make sure.

If MP3Tag can only embed album art, is there a tool that AUTOMATICALLY find cover art based on the tag info?

You did not read the part about the web sources, right?  
Have a look at the menu. there is an entry for cover art.  
The it depends on the amount of automatism you want. MP3tag searches on an album level - that is you can only process one album at a time. The you have to select the next album and search again.

Yes, that's what I was looking for. Thanks!
