2. Notice the 'Art' list is starting to populate with album art selections from various image servers
3. You may at any time click on the art selections, the image will be show to the right
4. When the image search is finished, the images will be re-ordered using image comparison to prioritize images that are similar. Large images will get a higher priority. Images found within iTunes may also be displayed within this list and will always receive the highest priority.
5. Click on the 'Transfer to iTunes®' button to transfer the selected image to iTunes

• Note: If you are displaying tracks in 'By Album' mode, the image selected will be copied to iTunes for each track within the album

Deleting Artwork:

• Note: If you are displaying tracks in 'By Album' mode, the image selected will be deleted from iTunes for each track within the album

Using iTunes to Select Tracks:

• This feature is most useful after you have transferred the majority of you artwork into iTunes®. Simply select the tracks within iTunes® that you wish to find artwork for, iAutoArtwork will populate the selected tracks only and allow you to transfer the images quickly and easily without waiting for all of your tracks to populate into iTunes®. iAutoArtwork will not detect if you have made a changed to your selections, however, click on the 'Re-Sync' button to refresh the selected tracks.

Automatic Search:

• Click the 'Start Automatic Search' button to automatically search and transfer artwork for all tracks within the 'Tracks' listing.

Re-Sync:

• Click the 'Re-Sync' button when prompted or to refresh the selected tracks within iTunes®. The feature will re-populate the appropriate iTunes sources(if needed) and tracks.

Program Errors:

• Commonly if iTunes® is 'stressed', iAutoArtwork will report errors. To eliminate error please avoid the following behaviors when using iAutoArtwork:
• Ripping music from CD's into iTunes®
• Playing music through iTunes
• Selecting 'Get Info' for any track
• Closing iTunes®
