Automatic Cover Tool Description
Automatic Cover Tool is an application that has a very suggestive name. It automatically finds cover art for the users’ audio files.
An easy-to-use application with a minimalistic interface
Users can run the application right after unzipping the compressed folder. It is a Java based program, so Java Runtime Environment needs to be installed. All its features are packed in one single window.
The interface does not stand out at all, but the application is clearly focused on functionality rather than being user-friendly. Batch mode is available, which means entire folders of audio files can be searched online.
Retrieve cover art for your audio collection
Automatic Cover Tool is able to find and recover cover art from online sources. It accomplishes that by accessing either one of the two Internet services: Discogs and MusicBrainz. Users cannot add any other sites to perform a search and, unfortunately, one of the sites requires registration.
ACT can perform a search for MP3, OGG, WMA, M4A and FLAC files. It does not support any other types of audio files. The software operates with the files’ tags and metadata, meaning it does not analyze the track. The quality of the results is based on the quality of the metadata. Furthermore, users cannot edit tag details or modify metadata with this application.
Save the cover art as JPG, PNG or GIF
Users are able to modify the format of the downloaded images. They can keep the source format or save the images with a different extension. A useful feature is that the application can find images even if there is an existing cover art for the selected folder.
As a conclusion, Automatic Cover Tool is an interesting piece of software. It provides a number of features, but lacks functionality in some areas. It might prove appealing to some users, since it is free to use.
