Re: [Apple iPod] Tuneup Companion 0.4 for Ipod

>From past experience I have noticed that when you select 'Get Album Artwork'
iTunes states it can't find it but if you select the arrow next to the album
then iTunes takes you directly to it.
I also noticed in the past that Gracenote has spelling errors and even wrong
track and album info. While I have not noticed it in a while, and that may
be because I use a MP3 tag editor program and enter/correct all the info
before I add it to iTunes, I do remember, in the early days of my iPod use
the headaches I had when I would rip a CD into iTunes and it would either
not find any info or tag it with incorrect info.
