"Clutter" is fantastic!!
what a superb idea, that implemented by the little Cluster companion to iTunes!
Basically it lets you access your MP3 albums by their CD cover, which it automatically fetches from Amazon upon playing any of your songs. You can then drag the cover and snap it to your desktop. That way you can recreate your collection of CDs on screen, and access and play any CD just like in the real world, except much faster. With this little gem, I am back in control of my virtual music collection, rather than drowning in a sea of MP3 files in iTunes.
Clutter is to iTunes what the OS 9 Spatial Finder is to the CLI (or to the OS X Finder for that matter...): puts the user firmly back in control.
For those interested, it's available at http://www.sprote.com/clutter/

This thing is awsome!
score us.

i have a CD that isn't on amazon.com that i want to add...how do i do this?
i have all the mp3z imported to my computer from the CD
and i found the album cover on the internet
can somone give me directions?
Jon, yes thanks i know i am just testing out this program (its slightly different because you can visually 'see the music' with clutter, and iTunes just displays the album once u've got the song (i believe)

listen i did, and i didn't get it...i'll read it again 2morrow, perhaps i ws stupid 2night
but it just said how to change the icon, not make a differnt disc (unless i misread, although the heading made it sound the other way)
copy and paste the part i missed that tell me how to do it if i missed it
Easier than searching through amazon though.

Here is a decent little app for acquiring album art for use in iTunes 4. It will download the .jpg to the album folder in your itunes library and you'll have to dig it out and drop it in the itunes image well yourself.

does anyone know of a way to set the album for multiple mp3z?

I tried selecting multiple tracks in itunes and then dropping the jpeg on the album picture imagewell. Worked as expected...

hmm, i thought it tried this and it didn't work
...perhaps i was using a picture from Clutter that could be a problem of it
if u have ur mp3z labeled right, even if u dont specify to, if u just are playing randome mp3z it will fetch the album cover and so it will have that in the dock while the song is playing
