If you want to have the best quality album art, and don't want to be tied to iTunes, here is the solution to your troubles:

I'm downloading covers now, and it works great.
PS: iTunes is quite a memory hog!

Lashiec:
Hmmm, where? Maybe I'm a bit dense now, but I can't find the program. Do you need iTunes to work? If Walmart had a bigger selection of albums, I wouldn't have problems to find some elusive ones. Maybe it's time to download the source files for those cover sites, and then have XnView resize them to a normal resolution.

And those memory figures?? You really have no luck with memory usage of audio players, first foobar, now iTunes... ;D

urlwolf:
Not iTunes alone, you need this tool to extract the images from the fangs of itunes and save it as normal folder.jpg files:

But, the tool is buggy as hell. Not sure if it's worth it...

Lashiec:
Since I'm not touching iTunes not even with a 10 foot pole, I think I'll pass... :D

BTW, there were some other apps (at least two) for downloading covers, but I think they involved the usual resources, Amazon and such, being the one with the best quality Walmart, at 500x500 px). Never tried them, as Mp3tag does the same, but if someone fancies them, it's an easy find.

edbro:
Check this new search engine out. It looks on several sites for covers up to 1425x1425.
