Album Art Widget

The Album Art Widget is a pretty cool widget.  It will display the artwork from the currently playing track in iTunes. The coolest thing that it does it that if you don't have the artwork for the track, it will download it from any one of several sites, and can add the artwork back to iTunes for either the playing track or all tracks from that album.

I do kind of wish this were a standalone application, so I wouldn't need to launch the Dashboard to use it

I decided to write an applescript to automate this.  So with the applescript posted below, I am able to sit on my laptop, and "send" tracks to the Mac Mini.

Here are the steps that are needed for setup:
