Cover art software?

Thanks to big_red_frog's suggestion, I am now making good progress
with xlobby (see my other message as to the problem, though :-) )
Now I'm using it to index my MP3s, the whole question of "cover
art"
raises its ugly head.
I am having a reasonable amount of success by typing the album name,
artist name into "google image search" and picking the first
image,
but this is a long-winded process.
Does anyone know of any software to automate this?
- Scan a directory tree
- In each directory, find the first .MP3 file
- Decode its tag to find album_name and artist_name
- Search google images (or wherever)
- Download the first JPG returned
It's conceptually simple enough to write down like that, and
practically long-winded enough to hope that some else has already
cracked the problem :-)
