cover art batch process

Hello,

I have a collection missing, lets say, 40% of the album covers.
This is due to many reasons that I regret but...hey, that's life ! ;)

Actually, I think the way SS is looking on google images to grab the covers is pretty nice and works quite good.
I was wondering if it could be possible for SS to identify the albums with missing covers and to come back with a proposal to the user.

there would then be some kind of a page that would show each first result of the google image search, and let the user say yes or no to save it as cover art.

this way, users would be able to grab their missing covers in an efficient way without the need to deal with additional software.

One more time it is just a suggestion, but I truly think that getting this into SS would be a serious added value !

I use MediaMonkey for all of my cover art/tagging needs and it's pretty painless once you get in the flow of things. I had a VERY large chunk that had no art. But MM saved me. Here are a few links to get you started.

Does SubSonic scan for metadata changes? I have a few albums that Subsoic doesn't display artwork for either (every other media player finds it, I have no idea why).
