bliss

A well organized music collection would not be complete without cover art images. Any media player can look much better if it displays songs and albums as cover art images, instead of blank CD cases. If you want to apply cover artworks on rare albums, you can use bliss to retrieve them. It spares you from lengthy searches and from looking through countless images on Google results pages. The application can apply the found images on your audio files automatically and it allows you to change them if you want to.

bliss is available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and VortexBox platforms. The Windows-based setup file is 38.8 MB and it takes only a few seconds to install the application's core components. It can be used to fix a maximum of 100 audio files, after which you have to purchase additional "fixes" or play a larger fee for unlimited fixes.

The application comes with a web-based user interface, which can be accessed through a system tray icon. If launched for the first time, bliss will ask you to make a series of initial configurations, like selecting your music library's folder, choosing where and how to save covers, setting a minimum and maximum size for the covers and establishing other rules. When you are done with your settings, the application will start scanning your music albums and it will automatically retrieve and apply their corresponding covers, even if the audio files are not tagged properly.

Albums, artists and untagged files are displayed on different pages. Besides displaying an album's cover image, the application lets you know if something is wrong with the album's path, tag type if the artwork exists or not and more. You can change an album's cover on a different page. bliss allows you to choose a different cover from a selection of online images, upload your own image from a local folder or provide a picture's URL.

Editing artist or album names or other information within ID3 tags is another possibility. The Tags page displays all your audio files in a list, along with their tag details, which can be edited on the same page. Also, the application can provide you with suggestions for untagged files or miscellaneous issues.
