I hear you Conrado. I have had this widget for years and have loved it! Recently I noticed that it was having a hard time fetching art work and that even if it did it would no longer update my itunes music with that artwork. I am very sad because I can't find a suitable replacement. I just went looking for the source code so I could look into fixing it myself.

I downloaded recently the AlbumArt widget, and it really seems to be pretty useful and easy to handle, but if wasn't by the fact that it isn't really working, I would be happier then i'm now =/
I don't know why, perhaps is something with the recents versions of iTunes, the widget is not 100% woking, maybe you could fix it in the next releases of the widget. I'm sure that a lot of people would just be glad with it =D
