Then it's your opportunity to search google, amazon, and discogs, among other sites for the missing data. It too struggles to find artwork and other info sometimes. That is not to say that MPFreaker is incredibly successful. However, if you have a large collection (and anything that can be even remotely construed as obscure), the iTunes artwork servers are unlikely to have it, and MPfreaker may have a better shot at retrieving the info. As a result, it's potential reach is much higher, but the quality of the artwork is probably more variable as well. Unlike downloading artwork from the iTunes store, MPFreaker downloads artwork from around the web. For me it has worked well with both MP3 files as well as M4A files (i.e. MPFreaker allows the rather painless retrofit of lyrics, artwork, and other ID3 information to your audio file collection. However, it does what it is supposed to, and pretty well for the most part. I continue to use MPFreaker despite some annoying issues, even in version 1.5. In conjunction with a specific art viewer/fetcher to fix up the mistakes MPfreaker constantly and innocently makes, MPfreaker is a fine app. it could then give you a choice on what album data to use, since not all albums are tagged properly by private or public users.Īpart from the severe lack of speed and the tendency to butcher tags if you set it to overwrite (not recommended), the artwork collected is fairly broad and it works well, far faster than doing it yourself, though not as good as letting itunes do it for you. If the engine behind MPfreaker used some kind of parallel search requests, it would work better, perhaps by using the compilation/album title to pre-fetch data for the album before securing the artwork. the other comments make note that it's slow and cumbersome, it also often screws up since it relies on public DB's of albums that can often have conflicting genres, album titles, artwork, etc. Skitch - Screen grabber, edit and publish to a webpage in seconds from not only your Mac, but anything with email access too.MPfreaker is a handy app to have around for when you need to mass-tag files, but its fairly non-specific.
