I’ve been using iArt for a few months to get missing mp3 art. But I have found something better. Dave and Knightwise talked about it on Global Geek Podcast #30. It’s called TuneSleeve and I’ll tell you a few of the reasons why I like it.
1. It has an option to delete the current art and replace it with new art – this is important because iTunes has been flaking out on the art side of things for the last couple of revs and my art is more screwed up than a Muslim working in the White House.
2. Even while it is download art automatically, it shows you the art is has pulled up for each album as well as any art that it couldn’t find (because, for example, your tags aren’t complete). But this is the coolest bit – it has a little search tool built into each missing art box. You can click on that and it will automatically bring up a search page with a list of artwork options. You can drag the one you want into TuneSleeve and it attaches it! Very slick.
For bringing me this piece of album art goodness, I am declaring The Global Geek Podcast my random feed of the day.

How many TPN shows do you listen to? Just G’Day World? Then you are missing out on some great ear juice.
Here’s one you should have, especially if you’re the kind of person who likes to go to work and spout of random bits of trivia to impress your colleagues.

Reading up on Lord Stevens’ report on the death of Diana and Dodi this morning and it lead me to searching for Mohammed Al Fayed’s response. This is turn lead me his blog which looks pretty new. I’ve invited him to come on the show to discuss the report in depth. I personally expect the British establishment to cover up any wrongdoings in such a case, so Lord Steven’s report means little. The only way to get the truth on this affair would be to have a wholly independent inquiry and I don’t know how you make something like that happen, especially so long after the event. So much of the evidence and witnesses have been “misplaced” by now.

Today my guest is Hanan Lifshitz, founder and CEO of Palore, joining me from Israel.
Palore is a browser plug-in that pulls together reviews of businesses (restaurants, plumbers, etc) from across the web and let’s you view them directly from the website of the business. I think services like this will be key to us using the web to make better decisions about which businesses we give our hard-earned dollars to.
Hanan gives us a bit of background on the business, the vision for the future and explains his ideas about “Contextual RSS”.
