Here's a program that will semi-automatically download album cover images for your music collection. All you have to do is point it at the root of your music directory and for each directory, the program will download a set of corresponding (well, best guess) album covers from the Internet, from which you can choose one that suits your fancy.
Currently supported image providers:
Amazon.com
Yahoo! Images
Wal-Mart
Buy.com
At least the following programs make use of the cover images:
KDE, GNOME and others that follow the FreeDesktop.org .desktop-entry spec
Windows XP Explorer
Windows Media Player 9+
CDcover, an XMMS plugin
CoverViewer, another XMMS plugin
wmalbum, a WindowMaker dock applet
Various WinAMP plugins, for example Cover TAG
In addition, some portable music players can show the cover image if it is embedded in the MP3 file.
"a little more clarity please"
there is a difference between albums and cd's! the name is misleading
