i'm surprised u go the google images route.  i do that as well but only
when nothing else worked, not routinely.

i think mp3tag has art retrieval and i think it uses amazon and maybe
some other sources, but i've never used it and i don't know if it does
art in the folder (where i want it) or in the tag, or if thats
configurable.  i do have it set to show art in the folder, but i also
rarely use mp3tag anyway, but it is a very useful and powerful app.

just for reference, here's what the flac.exe help says:


Code:
--------------------
      -h, --help                   Show basic usage a list of all options
  -H, --explain                Show this screen
  -d, --decode                 Decode (the default behavior is to encode)
  -t, --test                   Same as -d except no decoded file is written
  -a, --analyze                Same as -d except an analysis file is written
  -c, --stdout                 Write output to stdout
  -s, --silent                 Do not write runtime encode/decode statistics
  --totally-silent         Do not print anything of any kind, including
  warnings or errors.  The exit code will be the
  only way to determine successful completion.
  --no-utf8-convert        Do not convert tags from local charset to UTF-8.
  This is useful for scripts, and setting tags in
  situations where the locale is wrong.  This
  option must appear before any tag options!
  -w, --warnings-as-errors     Treat all warnings as errors
  -f, --force                  Force overwriting of output files
  -o, --output-name=FILENAME   Force the output file name; usually flac just
  changes the extension.  May only be used when
  encoding a single file.  May not be used in
  conjunction with --output-prefix.
  --output-prefix=STRING   Prefix each output file name with the given
  STRING.  This can be useful for encoding or
  decoding files to a different directory.  Make
  sure if your STRING is a path name that it ends
  with a '/' slash.
  --delete-input-file      Automatically delete the input file after a
  successful encode or decode.  If there was an
  error (including a verify error) the input file
  is left intact.
  --keep-foreign-metadata  If encoding, save WAVE or AIFF non-audio chunks
  in FLAC metadata.  If decoding, restore any saved
  
  non-audio chunks from FLAC metadata when writing
  the decoded file.  Foreign metadata cannot be
  transcoded, e.g. WAVE chunks saved in a FLAC file
  
  cannot be restored when decoding to AIFF.  Input
  and output must be regular files, not stdin/out.
  --skip={#|mm:ss.ss}      Skip the first # samples of each input file; can
  be used both for encoding and decoding.  The
  alternative form mm:ss.ss can be used to specify
  minutes, seconds, and fractions of a second.
  --until={#|[+|-]mm:ss.ss}  Stop at the given sample number for each input
  file.  The given sample number is not included
  in the decoded output.  The alternative form
  mm:ss.ss can be used to specify minutes,
  seconds, and fractions of a second.  If a `+'
  sign is at the beginning, the --until point is
  relative to the --skip point.  If a `-' sign is
  at the beginning, the --until point is relative
  to end of the audio.
  --ogg                    When encoding, generate Ogg FLAC output instead
  of native FLAC.  Ogg FLAC streams are FLAC
  streams wrapped in an Ogg transport layer.  The
  resulting file should have an '.oga' extension
  and will still be decodable by flac.  When
  decoding, force the input to be treated as
  Ogg FLAC.  This is useful when piping input
  from stdin or when the filename does not end in
  '.oga' or '.ogg'.
  --serial-number          Serial number to use for the FLAC stream.  When
  encoding and no serial number is given, flac
  uses a random one.  If encoding to multiple files
  
  the serial number is incremented for each file.
  When decoding and no number is given, flac uses
  the serial number of the first page.
  analysis options:
  --residual-text          Include residual signal in text output.  This
  will make the file very big, much larger than
  even the decoded file.
  --residual-gnuplot       Generate gnuplot files of residual distribution
  of each subframe
  decoding options:
  -F, --decode-through-errors  By default flac stops decoding with an error
  and removes the partially decoded file if it
  encounters a bitstream error.  With -F, errors
  are still printed but flac will continue
  decoding to completion.  Note that errors may
  cause the decoded audio to be missing some
  samples or have silent sections.
  --cue=[#.#][-[#.#]]      Set the beginning and ending cuepoints to
  decode.  The optional first #.# is the track and
  index point at which decoding will start; the
  default is the beginning of the stream.  The
  optional second #.# is the track and index point
  at which decoding will end; the default is the
  end of the stream.  If the cuepoint does not
  exist, the closest one before it (for the start
  point) or after it (for the end point) will be
  used.  The cuepoints are merely translated into
  sample numbers then used as --skip and --until.
  A CD track can always be cued by, for example,
  --cue=9.1-10.1 for track 9, even if the CD has
  no 10th track.
  encoding options:
  -V, --verify                 Verify a correct encoding by decoding the
  output in parallel and comparing to the
  original
  --lax                    Allow encoder to generate non-Subset files
  --sector-align           Align encoding of multiple CD format WAVE files
  on sector boundaries.
