When right clicking all tracks of an album, the option to add album art via a search online seems to have disappeared?

I do not think that there was ever such a function.  
You find Tools... and Actions... in the context menu but no access to web sources.

I've been using for ages.  
To the left of the spanner symbol, clicking the drop down menu, there was an option to add album art via a search online.  
Now that I think of it, you could search [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com) or [Amazon.de](http://Amazon.de)  
Now that Amazon have been removed with the latest update, that is why it has disappeared.  
So it looks like you never used this feature.  
I found it very useful.

No doubt about that.  
Yet, this function is not part of the context menu that you usually access with a right-click on one of the entries in the file list but part of the toolbar.  
The function in the toolbar remembers the last web source that you used. As I use many different web sources this function did not solely call an album art finder but just as often discogs or beatport...  
But now it is clear: you can't call a web source script that is not there.

Try this. Go to options ![:mt_options:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/338d8272ec57a514279f9540e88824ba48e29086.png ":mt\_options:") \>tools\>New ![:mt_new:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/ec5caa1b5d6c43fd0fe30efd3515a713a18c5105.png ":mt\_new:") and add these:

Name: c&Overs - Album search  
Path: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe **(is one example)**  
Paramater:

```
https://www.google.ie/search?q=$replace(%album%, ,+,#,+,&,+,(OM),)&tbs=iar:s,isz:lt,islt:xga&tbm=isch&source=lnt&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiT4-ephrfPAhVLFMAKHXwUAUsQpwUIFQ&biw=1592&bih=857&dpr=1

```

Name: co&Vers - Artist/Album search  
Path: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe **(is one example)**  
Paramater:

```

```

Name: &Covers - Artist/Title search  
Path: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe **(is one example)**  
Paramater:

```
https://www.google.ie/search?hl=en&safe=off&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1656&bih=1190&tbs=imgo:1&q=$replace(%artist% %title%, ,+,#,+,&,+,(OM),)

```

Then it's as easy as RMB on file/s\>T on keyboard and O,V or C.

**Notice the ampersands in the names of the tools.**

Then you can go to google copy and paste or just drag the image to the cover box in mp3tag. I find this is the fastest way as it generally brings up good results. Discogs, Amazon the lot.

I miss having Amazon etc right there in the program. Must be a reason they were removed.  
Thanks a ton for offering an alternative!

[Yes](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/19064/5).

The latest [Development Build](http://developer.mp3tag.de) also includes two cover-only tag sources for Discogs.

Kind regards

Shoudn't such neat and complex solution be pinned in the Support section of the forum at the top in Important Topics?
