Corripio Update

Posted by Jeff Dlouhy on 05/30 at 06:43 AM

So it has been a long weekend. Both figuratively and literally. We had Friday and Monday off from school and today (Tuesday) us Seniors decided it would be a good day for a Senior Cut Day. I have been using these days off to get Corripio back up and running. While none of us have cracked Apple’s code for getting their high-res artwork yet, I have been adding alternate artwork sources to Corripio. So far I have Coveralia integrated into the app. Coming very shortly are Walmart, Buy, and Wikipedia. I have it so that you can choose which sources you want to search for artwork and in what order (priority). Also I have added a preference for prompting the user if he/she wants to use or skip the artwork that is found. I’m holding back the tag fixing features for the next release so I can concentrate on getting the artwork squared away. I am also planning on adding some Core Image features to the app so that one could fix colors on a album before they place them on a song if they do so choose. For the record I am not giving up on iTMS artwork, just adding these new ones so that Corripio actually does something.

Example artwork from new sources:

Coveralia:
A Night At The Opera
Magical Mystery Tour
Back to Bedlam

Buy.com:
