3 Opinions:
Yeah, I use this, but if I hadn't bought it, I probably wouldn't do it again. It's pretty much a single use app. Once you get finished adding covers to your itunes collection, what else can you do with it? It's just sitting on my hard drive now in case I ever do use it. Try corripio first, even gimmesometune (I think it can get cover art, but I'm not sure), and then CoverScout.
I'd recommend corripio instead.
Frankly speaking, the over-the-top single machine license (including machine-specific serial generation) is a bit much for a single purpose app like this, especially with so many free apps that do the same thing. It does make things much handier, and some times it really is quite a slick little package, but some controls are less than intuitive and I could do without the constant SpinningBeachballOfDeath on any sort of activity (seriously... should an app like this be doing that on a dual 2ghz machine with 2+GB of ram?) and occasional crashes. I'll put up with that stuff on free apps, but when you drop 20 bucks... it's less than appealing.
Oh well, I bought it so I'll keep using it. All in all, these things add up to frustrations and not panic-attack inducing catastrophes.
