    [2003] Using the Yahoo Search API to retrieve album art for an MP3

    This is a small library and example I cooked up to take an MP3, retrieve the id3v1 artist and album name, query the Yahoo Image search, and return a url to the first hit. From my testing, 9 times out of 10 it is the correct album cover.

    Very useful if you are working on a media player or just want to use the Yahoo Image search API.

    You might want to submit a second attachment in a .zip format as many of us, myself included, can't open .rar files.
