CoverScout 2.1.1 becomes iTunes' new best friend
New version adds iTunes 7 compatibility

Munich (Germany) / San Mateo, CA (USA) - September 22nd, 2006:
CoverScout 2.1.1 ensures its compatibility with iTunes 7 and has been actualized as the ideal complement to iTunes' new Cover Flow feature.

With the release of iTunes 7, the feature to add missing album art to a user's iTunes library was included. The iTunes Store carries thousands but not all of album covers and therefore often does not find the right ones. CoverScout has been enhanced to even facilitate the search for hard-to-find covers. With its advanced Amazon and Google Images search options and on-the-fly iTunes synchronisation, users everywhere will have their library completely covered with CoverScout.

"Adding covers to your iTunes library and creating a visual stunning library has become more important with iTunes 7. But did you try to find all your cover art with iTunes 7? Our experiences show that a standard user only finds around 30-40% of their missing music covers with iTunes. So it's CoverScout's turn. The application is the ultimate iTunes companion to add ALL missing covers," states Till Schadde, CEO of equinux.

More information and the option to download a free trial version for both products, MediaCentral as well as CoverScout, can be found on the equinux website at www.equinux.com. Purchases can be made directly in the secure equinux online store at www.equinux.com/store.
