#9 Automatically copy cover art to iTunes

There have been a lot of requests to automatically copy CD cover
art to iTunes -- either as each cover is looked up on Amazon, or in
bulk.

My personal opinion is that I don't _want_ cover art stored in
iTunes, because it bulks up each audio file unnecessarily (iTunes
tends to store an _uncompressed_ copy of the artwork in every
single file. This is much larger than Clutter storing a single
compressed JPEG for the whole album. It also means the artwork
wastes space on your iPod or other music player.)

But people do ask for this...

This is the sort of thing that, if included in the next version, should be a
user preference.

My reasoning is that I have a 60GB hard drive, and I have my
files on a networked drive so I can get to them from any
computer in the house. Since I don't have Clutter on the
windows machines, this is the next best option.

a preference to allow this would probably be there if the feature was
added... and ideally it would add the art only if art doesn't exist.

FWIW I'd love this feature too. When using iTunes I"ve enabled the auto-download of artwork & its great to browse through artwork in itunes. It'd rock if we could use clutter as a way of auto-downloading and
installing artwork for stuff thats not in the iTunes store (via amazon/google etc)

Though it should only copy the artwork to iTunes if iTunes has no artwork already
