When I want to add artwork to a song, I do the following:

* Right-click it and click Properties.
* In the Properties window, click Artwork > Lookup artwork > OK > OK.

Can that be automated? I tried right-clicking it and clicking Auto-tag From Web, but that takes just as many clicks, eventually. And that adds all kinds of stuff that I don't want. I just want the artwork.

Of the roughly 5000 songs I have, more than 1000 don't have artwork, so automation would be very welcome.

Tools > Options > Metadata Lookup has an option to automatically lookup Artwork.

Thanks, bro! I knew I had come across something like that in the past, but didn't figure out where, what and how, precisely.

And I'll be happy to upgrade to Gold for it. But can you tell me how exactly it works then? Top menu > View > Show Art, and everything else goes automatically? I already have the list of songs with missing artwork made up, through Side menu > Music > Files to edit > Unknown Artwork. And I have the Discogs tagger installed.

Not sure about MMW4, but it would definitely lookup when playing a file and the Artwork is displayed in the Art & Details window. In MM5 it looks up anytime the Artwork needs to be displayed.
