This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I'm searching for a really good program at finding in batch cover art for mp3 and mp4 files. Too many cover arts now are wrong in VirtualDJ 8.

ever tried V8...?
should work fine
 

Mark1689 and RobRoy, thank you for your help.
Mark1689, your program "Muvundercover" is only for finding missing album cover arts and RobRoy, what do you mean with the program V8?
What I'm searching is a really good program for finding missing cover arts of singles and mp4 files.
For finding these cover arts I at the moment use the programs Creevity MP3 cover downloader, Album Art Downloader, Ashampoo Mp3 cover finder and Perfect Tunes. These programs are good for finding the cover art of most of my mp3 files, but they can't batching and they can't find missing cover arts of MP4 files. With VirtualDJ 8 you now can download missing cover arts for mp3 and mp4 files but I see that a lot of the cover arts are wrong and have bad quality. Which sources use VirtualDJ 8 for finding missing cover arts and how is the configuration to do that? At this moment a lot of the cover arts are wrong and have really a bad quality.
 

He means Virtual DJ V8 ???

You could also download covers and save them if you like. Open the tag editor and click the cover image.

as Heiko mentioned....just klick the cover image. One of the new improvements of Virtual DJ V8 is the option to download skins, and having also a preview to check the quality and the right cover...just give it a try...;-)
 

Dear Jakovski and RobRoy,

Thank you for your help.
I know that you now can download cover arts in VirtualDJ 8, but I want to have cover arts of good, very good quality with the minimum size of 500 x 500. All the programs I now use can download cover arts for mp3 files of good quality, but not in batching as VirtualDJ 8 can do that and not for MP4 files. It's a pity that the cover arts in VirtualDJ have a small size and that you can't find always the correct cover art for the mp3 files. A lot of cover arts of mp3 and mp4 files also have a bad quality.
 

Not really shure which platform is used to search for covers in VDJ. Found a lot of Covers in 500x Resolution and Higher.
E.g. Daft Punk - Get Lucky which is 600x600. Guess it also takes a bit of luck to find the resolution that fits your needs. One User is fine with 200x200
another a bit less, some a bit more. Not always easy to find the perfect value to please everyone...;-)

Dear RobRoy,

I have more than 200000 songs and a lot of are songs from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and the cover arts then are cover arts of singles from these years and it is very difficult to find good cover arts with a good size and a good quality. In VirtualDJ 8 I looked at all the possibilities, google, iTunes and Grooveshark.
 

iTunes only ever gives me 100x100, Google is a hit or miss and Groovshark always gives me 500x500 or better but it barely has any of the songs I need.

Not sure what VDJ uses to look them or if it's up to your connection speed but VDJ doesn't offer that great of quality when it comes to covers.
 

Hi friends of VirtualDJ 8,
I've found a solution at the internet to resize the cover arts of mp3 files. You can resize the cover arts with the program "Sanse Mp3 Art Sizer". I now use the program and it is very good. I hope it helps a bit.
 

no loss of quality when you resize...?
 

First you have to download good quality cover arts. Then you resize the cover arts. There is no loss of quality. The program is really very good.
 

Thanks....;-)
