Using the library file generated by Apple's iTunes, this program downloads and displays cover art, providing a unique way to view and play selections outside of iTunes. The program uses Amazon's Search API to retrieve album art.

Harmony assumes iTunes has been installed by default in your 'My Music' folder.

Notes
Harmony uses Windows media player technology. Files based on MPEG-4 (.m4a) or Apple's music format (.aac) will be displayed by the application but not playable. To play these files in Harmony, try the following media player plugin (free) from Corban.
