well if you have Mortscript 4.1 installed...it's easy:

Root = "\Storage Card\Music\"
Foreach ArtistDir in Directories (Root \ "*")
Artist = replace(ArtistDir,Root ,"")
Foreach AlbumDir in directories (ArtistDir \ "*")
Album = replace(AlbumDir,ArtistDir & "\","")
If (FileExists(AlbumDir \ "folder.jpg"))
#message ("yes")
Else
Sleepmessage (1,Artist & " " & Album,"Download Album Art")
thepath = "\Program Files\MortScript\"
thefile = "dl1.html"
connect("The Internet")
Download("http://albumart.org/index.php?srchkey=" & Artist & "+" & Album & "&itempage=1&newsearch=1&searchindex=Music",thepath \ thefile)
mainleft = find(strParse,"main_left")

arttitle = find(strParse, "title=", mainleft)


if (arttitle>0)
srcstart=find(strParse, "src=", arttitle)
imagestart = srcstart + 5
imageend = find(strParse, ".jpg", imagestart) + 4
imagepath=substr(strParse,imagestart,imageend-imagestart)
Download (imagepath,Root & Artist & "\" & Album & "\folder.jpg")
endif
Endif
Endforeach
Endforeach

Exit

copy and paste into notepad then rename with extension .mscr and change "Root" to where your music files are located and wallaa it will scan your music directory and insert album art....
if having issues connecting then perhaps changing line 12 connect("The Internet") ------> connect("Internet")
hope this helps


or did you want to insert the album art into the id3 tag?

Having some problems getting this script to work. I have the structure set up as \storage\music\artist\album\
"The Internet" is what works for me.
when the script executes I do not get the errors but never find any files named "folder.jpg" in any directory. thanks in advance.

All the music I have on my storage card have the album art, and the songs came straight from my iTunes library. All my songs in iTunes have the album art, so apparently the art came with the music when I copied it over. I didn't have to do anything special. The front end work that I had previously done in iTunes by copying the art from sites like Amazon and WalMart paid off when I copied the songs onto my storage card for my Touch. Sorry to hear that did not happen for you. Good Luck.

I have my music installed on my card as \Storage Card\music\artist\album also so the script above will scan ALL music folder's under the music directory and looks for songs that don't have an associated folder.jpg within the album directory and then auto-downloads,

lol, i thought i was the only one who did that. 10,000+ mp3's in my library. i would say 3000-4000 are from back when napster was free and you had to download song by song letting your computer download over night. Sooooo many songs without id3 tags, let alone album art. Slowly but surely im getting them all named and arted.
