    Olof, given you mention Coverscout and this is a Mac forum, I assume you are using iTunes for Mac OSX?

    If so, doesn't iTunes convert the WAV-formatted files to AAC or MP3?

    Anyway, if Coverscout fails to find Cover information, you may try to install the following Apple script:

    Search CD Universe for Album v1.0

    Find Album Artwork with Google v2.5

    Search SlothRadio for Artwork v1.1

    They all work the same: You mark one of the tracks without covers, execute the script, the script will send a search string to the respective service, bring up the cover in Safari and you manually copy the picture to your tracks.

    Kind regards, Stefan

    Hi Stefan,

    the script works, but iTunes doesnt allow me to copy the cover into the file ? :-(

    Hello Jan

    I googled a little bit - it seems WAV does not support artwork:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27633?viewlocale=en_US

    So you will have to decide if you listen to these tracks without artwork or if you convert the file to e.g. AAC and add the artwork then.

    Kind regards

    Stefan
