I use this perl script and patch to automatically grab the cover art
from amazon.co.uk, post CD rip.

* Install the script somewhere useful e.g.:
  /usr/local/share/mythtv/mythmusic/scripts/amazon.pl

* Apply the patch to mythplugins

* Set your post rip script to the following:
 /usr/local/share/mythtv/mythmusic/scripts/amazon.pl %d "%a" "%t"

The patch will convert the %d, %a and %t to music dir, artist name and
title, then seach amazon.co.uk to find the cover art. Change the perl
script to use an amazon site more relevant to your locale.

Probably worth testing standalone first though, to check it works for you!
