I'm attempting to manually embed album art in my mp3 music collection by copy-and-pasting from this site . I was able to do this once, but then it stopped working. The "paste cover" option is grayed-out, and I can't find a way to make it work. I don't want to have to save and load each image. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Did you read this comment on your linked site?
9.8.07: This works again. After quite a bit of playing around I discovered (thanks Isolder for the tip!) that it looks like Apple has put unencrypted artwork back online, though they still give the ecnrypted URL... all it takes is a little bit of URL modification and voilà, it works again. And the best news, this new unencrypted artwork is at a whopping 1425x1425 resolution! An example.
Now for some bad news, not all artwork on the store seems to be availible (though a lot of it is, mostly recent releases) -- you'll get some 404s, and not all of it that is availible is at 1425x1425 (some are still at 600x600, and others at rather random resolutions such as 620x620, 750x750, 900,900, 1500x1500 etc). Anyhow, I hope you you all enjoy this and it proves useful to a few of you. And thank you Apple for putting your unencrypted artwork back online, and I ask you kindly to leave it that way if possible =)
