More iTunes Cover Art

It turns out Walmart has 500x500 JPEGs of cover art - only US-released albums, of course, but it might come in handy.

I figured that one out while paying a new visit to pudge’s Journal, which has the following AppleScript nugget:

tell application "iTunes"
    set currart to artist of current track
    set curralb to album of current track
end tell
tell application "Finder"
    open location "http://www.walmart.com/catalog/search-ng.gsp?search_constraint=4104&search_query=" & currart & " " & curralb
end tell

This can be placed in ~/Library/iTunes/Scripts for convenience (changing the URL for your favorite music site shouldn’t be too difficult). There are no batch-oriented ways to re-tag entire albums yet, though.
