I have a not-so-small music collection (~60gb) and most of the albums miss album art.
Does anybody know a better method instead of go to amazon, search album, download image, copy to the right folder, rename...?
There is the app 'albumart' in AUR but the latest version doesn't work anymore, and it hangs sometimes.

I use Google image search, the new feature to search for resolutions greater than fooxbar is very nice. It takes quite a while, yes, but I like finding the best possible images to use.
Unfortunately, while an album art database would rock (that programs could then connect to and grab art from), it'd likely be sued for copyright infringement

honestly? I share the folder to a windows xp virtual machine and use maa (http://sourceforge.net/projects/album-art/)
it finds based on folder title and such
I have yet to find a simmilar tool for linux

There is "Überview" in the AUR.

Mainly used for browsing your music collection based on album art but it also has a search function if the album art is missing.
You can right click on the folder and it will perform a cover search based on album name and artist, then you can save the image into the folder.

@stefanwilkens: yeah, I used this in windows, too.
Looks like I can't get around windows...

Hmm, looks interesting. Maybe there's after all a way around windows...
