= underCover -- The one-size-fits-all solution for your iTunes artwork managment =

[[Image(http://undercover.piquadrat.ch/raw-attachment/wiki/_attachments/screenshot.png)]]

underCover is an artwork managment tool for iTunes. It intercepts artwork-related
communication between iTunes and the iTunes Store and can serve custom artwork
or artwork from Amazon and other webservices to iTunes.

== How does it work? ==
The communication between iTunes and the store is unencrypted -- artwork-related
communication anyway. underCover has an embedded [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server proxy server]
that intercepts artwork requests from iTunes. You can then search different webservices
for artwork or add custom artwork which is served to iTunes the next time it
asks for it.


== Features ==
 * free and Free (under the terms of the MIT license)
 * Man-in-the-middle proxy server for artwork-communication between iTunes and the iTunes Store
 * Search for artwork on different webservices (Amazon, Last.fm and Google Images, more to follow)
 * Add custom artwork, e.g. from high quality scans
 * Simple image editor to crop and scale artwork
 * Adjust album names to enhance search results from the picky iTunes server (like removing 'Special Edition')
 * Caches encrypted artwork from the iTunes store. You won't have to redownload them all again if you rebuild your library
   * Unlocking functionality that tries to find the unencrypted versions of cached artwork in the iTunes library



== Disclaimer ==
Please note: underCover is in an early stage of development. While it generally works, there are a couple of known bugs and probably a whole lot of unknown bugs. It may work as advertised for you, but it might just as well destroy all your data and engage in a kitten killing spree (I've never seen it do such nasty things, though).

underCover is in no form affiliated to Apple and/or iTunes. iTunes is a protected trademark of Apple Inc., its usage in underCover is only used to describe functionality.
