I have not put my library online, yet, but it would be nice to see if someone has.

Here's the link again for the program:

http://homepage.mac.com/azc/iTunesCatalog/

I really love the cover art grabbing and overall style of the program.

Yes I've seen it. But I'm more interested in what others are listening to.

This looks pretty nice. I am going to give it a try when I get home tonight. I spent a lot of time encoding my music collection (with cover art and all), so now I want to show it off!

I've used it to put my library listing online. You can see it at http://homepage.mac.com/mpbritt/music.html

Version 1.5 generates really nice pages.

I've been playing with this a bit, and I really like it, but I've been having troubles with the album art. About 95% of my library already has album art assigned. When I choose to bring in my art from iTunes, it loads them fine, and the art shows up within iTunes Catalog. But when I make an html library it makes most of them blank (an iTunes logo instead).

I tried using the option to download from Amazon, but it would assign wrong cover art for quite a few albums.

Here's my page. As you can see, most of the albums are missing art. Anyone know how to remedy this? (and I only use Genre settings for a select few of my albums so most of my music is in the Unknown genre.)

I'm using the unregistered version right now, but if I can remedy this issue I'd gladly register.

I had a similar problem when I first started using ITC (version 1.0). What I found was that I needed to not import album art from iTunes, but let the app pull it's art from Amazon. I do like that now ITC does apply the iTunes icon to albums with no artwork. Before the space was just blank and looked funky.

I suggest the following:
1. Delete the folder named "iTunes Catalog" on the path Macintosh HD/Library/Images/.
2. Delete the folder named "iTunes Catalog" on the path ~/Library/Caches/.

Now restart ITC and let it do it's thing. If ITC doesn't find the correct art work you can search for it by clicking the "show artwork" button in the toolbar, then do a "custom search."

Since you don't categorize your music by genres, why don't you just list it by Artist and Album? Pull down View and click "hide genres."

"Vampiros Lesbos" is indeed soundtrack music to old Italian (?) Lesbian-Vampire-Softcore Porn.

It's a rather nice compilation.

(don't have it myself, though - which gives me an idea: What about auto-generating iTMS artist links, so that if you see an album you want, you can just click to get it online? - They should implement this on the web page, and get Apple to pay them 1� for every song thus sold )

It is indeed Italian. And boy is it a bad movie, but the soundtrack is in the groove.

ITC will generate pages like this. You can specify that Artist and Album links can go to iTMS, Allmusic.com, Amazon.com, and a couple others. Song lyrics will do the same thing.

I've got my pages set up for Artist and Album links to go to iTMS and song links to search for lyrics.
