Find iTunes songs without album art
The perfect script for the obsessive-compulsive iTunes user! Want to make sure all your albums have artwork? Then this is the script for you!
When run, this script will create a new playlist, entitled “::No Album Art::”, containing all your iTunes music tracks which don’t have any associated album artwork. (This is best used after running Find Album Artwork from the iTunes 7 Advanced menu.)
Once you have all your artless files in a playlist, you can then easily update their artwork manually, or using the Album Art widget for Dashboard, the iTunes Companion Yahoo Widget, or any of the many other album art grabbers.
This does take a pretty long time, so be patient. Any errors are logged to the system.log (viewable via the console).
To install: Either run it directly from Script Editor, or copy it to ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/iTunes/ to use it from the script menu.

re: does this script still work?
It ought to. Let me know if it doesn’t and I’ll work on fixing it.

Questin/request
Hey, do you have this script for Windows, I really need it, but I don’t have a Mac.
Windows Compatible?
Will this work on Windows versions of iTunes? Is it compatible with the latest version of iTunes (8.1.1)?
Not Windows Compatible, Works With iTunes 9
This script makes use of a tool in Mac OS called AppleScript. As such, it isn’t available for Windows versions of iTunes, though I’m sure a similar utility has been created to solve your problem.
I’m running this on iTunes 9 as we speak. It’s a little slow, but its doing the job.
