It would be immensely helpful if we could query the command line for a /title option to search album art by song title. This would be useful in cases where songs are not organized by album.

    I'm pretty sure there are no sources that are so strict about search terms they wouldn't find song titles when passed with the /album parameter. The vast majority of them are free-text searches that just concatenate artist and album anyway.

    Thanks for the response. Good to know that the majority of search scripts just concatenate the inputs anyways. In case it helps anyone else, my "workaround" in Mp3tag was to just apply a conditional album option that searches for the song title if the album tag is a blank string, which is usually the case for EPs or singles (at least in my library):
    /al "$if2(%album%,%title%)"
