iTunes Tools
Find Tracks Without Artwork
Find Tracks without Artwork is a little tool to serve one purpose: Search the iTunes Music Libary for tracks that do not have a cover Artwork, and create a Playlist.
There are 2 functionally identical Versions: Version 1.1 is a JScript running on Windows Scripting Host and Version 2 is a stand-alone Windows Executable. You can choose either version as they do the same thing.
I've tested it with pretty much every iTunes (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10) and Windows Version (2000, XP, Vista and 7 32 and 64-Bit) and it should normally work with every upcoming Version, unless Apple fundamentally changes the COM-Interface.

Find Tracks Without Artwork - Version 1.1
Find Tracks Without Artwork - Version 2.0
Note: In more recent iTunes Versions it is possible to create a Smart Playlist and select "Has Artwork: is false" as filter which should do the same, but I haven't compared it.
Danke!!!
Genau, das was ich gesucht habe
)))))
super tool! hat mir viel arbeit erspart. vielen dank!
Thanks!
Wow, thanks!! This worked very well, and it was fast.
superb!
fast, easy to use, and very very worthwhile tool to have!
Oh man thank you so much I've been looking for this program for forever!!! perfection.
Thank you! Where do I donate? Very, very helpful; worth a contribution!
Hi. Thanks for this. My library is huge and it is a pain that some tracks have no artwork. It's good that it is windows as well becuase most times I track apple script things that, of course, don't work.
Cooool!!!! Works great and does exactly what it says on the tin. Thanks a lot!
BRILLIANT.
Genius! Awesome job!
this would be awesome if I could scan my ipod as opposed to my library
Yeah, sadly Apple is a bit overprotective when it comes to their iPod/iPhone and data access to it.
This thing is awesome. It does exactly what it says, perfectly. I've been looking for something like this forever.
smooth!
iTunes 9.1 = Interface not supported. Any updates planned?
That's strange, I just tested it with my iTunes 9.0.1.8 and it works fine. Which version do you use? (Help > About iTunes) And which operating system?
Another vote for iTunes 9.0.1.8. (on Win Xp Pro)
Many thanks Michael. Took less than two minutes to scan over 8000 tracks and produces a nice playlist which appeared immediately in iTunes.
Many thanks. Does exactly what it says and in a very elegant manner. Perfect!
Works great! (Windows 7 RC 1 64bit iTunes 9)
this does half my job
lol
still need one to find the artwork and import it
300 to go!
Very useful tool. This is something worth paying for.
thanks a lot -- this is really cool! i don't know how much harder it would be to program, but it would be REALLY nice if it created a smart playlist so that it automatically updates itself. other than that, though, great job!
Thanks a lot for this wonderful little program. I very useful tool to have. My I Tunes Library is over 20,000 songs, and I Tunes seems to lose album art a lot. It is easy enough to find sources for art, finding which tracks and albums have missing art is the hard part. This little jewel scanned my library in about 3 or 4 minutes. Bravo.
Kevin: If iTunes could do that in a Smart Playlist, there wouldn't be any need for this program
I see no good way to keep this up-to-date automatically without something heavy like a service that runs all the time.
Glad you have use for it
For some reason this app scans my collection and tells me I have 130 songs without artwork, but does not tell me WHICH songs have no artwork....
Ah, it lists it IN itunes... ok, silly me.
Amazing. So simple and saved me hours of trawling through. Thank you so much.
Great tool....thank you so much!
Perfect, exactly what I was looking for! thanks : )
As everyone says....this is one great little program. Just tried it after updating to iTunes 10 and it worked perfectly. Just found 130 out of over 28,000 songs missing artwork. I'd never find those without your program.
Unlike some programs that stop working with a new update. Why this isn't already an integral part of iTunes, only Apple knows.
Actually, iTunes 10 supports this, no idea when they added this: New Smart Playlist => Has Artwork => is false.
This software is great, and anyhow whether they added it to itunes. This one was there before and it works until today.
Brilliant application, thanks for your dedication !!
Worked perfect!
Thank so much
