This program is useful for downloading or removing album art for SomePlayer and TPlayer.
It downloads art using LastFM API to ~/.covers directory, thumbnails also saved in ~/.covers/.thumbs

Each downloaded art saved as <artist_name> - <album_name>.jpg
<artist_name> and <album_name> - trimmed names in lower case

If it's needed I can add ability to save art in format supported by stock media player (~/.cache/media-art/)

Simple workflow:
  1. Run SomeCover
  2. Click on 'Download all' button
  3. Wait until progress finished
  4. If you don't like some covers - select them and click 'Cancel selected'
  5. Close program

Screenshots:



Latest version - 1.1-1 (old version doesn't work)

To everybody:
If You know some good service for fetching covers - let me know about it and I add support of this service.
But only one cover can be fetched from my gateway, so we have to order sources by priority (I think lastfm should be first)

Probably using ID3 tags, as all media players do
Look at MussOrgsky, it's in Python but translating can be easy sometimes.

Problem is in filenames for covers. So, MussOrgsky and Tracker save in 'album-'+md5(' ')+'-'md5(album_name)+'.jpg'.
I don't understand why first hash is md5(' ')
