I might be missing something very obvious but I can't seem to find it xD

Basically most of my collection has already been tagged correctly but now I want to use the Zune backend to get the high rez album art, so I downloaded the zip file floating around. Unfortunately when I pull the info it also changes the metadata. Is there a way to get mp3tag to just download the art? (I don't want to extract and save for my hundreds of albums...)

At least is there a way to set it to perhaps just pull certain information and not others?

Thanks any help

You can download cover-only web sources for Amazon from the Web Sources Archive.

Fantastic, a quick glance at that tells me you directed me the right way. Thanks. I'll update if I run into a snag.
