With MPAtool you can search for artist backgrounds and add them to your music library.
You can use the huge database from last.fm or any image stored on your device to beautify your music experience.
There are two attach modes available:
manual attach - to add a single picture
auto attach - to download pictures for your entire music collection
Later releases will include the option to import and export folders from your skydrive or dropbox account.
For now it's not possible to change existing pictures so you have to remove all the artists music first and add it again to make a 'picture reset'.

Great tool!!!
I have been using for a couple of hours. It works as intended to and I personally like the manual attachment of images. Is there a way to automatically delete the dummy MPA files? One more request, do you have it in your plans to add album images?
Thanks.

Thanks for your feedback.
You are right, the dummy files are annoying but I don't know any way to delete them, sorry.
The next version will bring the new feature of adding album covers/images, yes

Album art? Next update?! This is like a wet dream, only better because its actually true :good:
And deleting dummy files is as easy as mounting your phone in windows and delete the dummy file in your music folder - it doesn't bother me much to be honest.
Keep up the good work, I'll give you five stars and a vote!

Great App, Looking forward to the update with Album art, Good work :good:

Thank you!
Even on the phone it's easy to delete. I just found out that you can open the application bar and pick "select all" to delete if you are in selection mode (with these check boxes).
I thought about adding a small "welcome screen/tutorial" in a coming version like I did in the homebrew v 1.x
The album art feature is ready to test but needs some work because it's kind of slow on collections with many albums having no album art. I think I will push an update to the beta channel next week.

Great app. Working nicely. Got a number of albums w/o images - well not anymore... Thank you. Looking forward to update, eg autodeleting dummy files.

Autodeleting dummy files will not work without access to the file system or a method given to us by Microsoft to delete songs from the MediaLibrary.
So don't expect this function in the near future. Sorry about that

New Beta now available. Dowload at http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=9cc69d32-f030-4438-92ab-1a867448dbdb and give me some feedback about the new album art feature

Did i miss something
i am not sure if this is just me or what.
When i was trying to add custom image for certain artist, i select the image from my picture hub, but it seems not to save it. The selected artist is still not being assigned with the picture. Please help.
What i did
select custom picture -> select the artist -> select the custom picture -> select the atach button at the bottom (not sure if this is right). But the artist does not really change
Please advise

Is there already an image attached to the artist (a default image from the xbox music data base), or just the normal gray background ?
