Recommendations for album artwork websites.

[p9ul]

Giving my music files an update and one of the area's sorely in need of TLC is the artwork dept.

My usual source for artwork is basically a google image search but I don't often find good high quality pictures - can anyone recommend sites that offer decent sized cd artwork images (say 600 x 600 pixels and above). One thing that really bugs me is non-square images, I can't stand seeing a white line added to the artowrk screen on my iPhone!

I found one by accident last night (can't remember the name so I'll post it when I get home tonight), but the amount of covers available isn't all that extensive.

Recommendations appreciated.

Why dont you scan your covers ?

I don't have a scanner...

I get mine from Amazon and then apply manually in iTunes.

I use "Album Art Downloader" - it searches several sites (I think it's "Album Art Exchange" that seems to give the best results for about the 600x600 size). Hunt around - there's a few similar applications that search out covers for you.

I use Wikipedia.

For example - Crowded House

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowded_House_(album)

Hover over the artwork, drag it or right click if you have a pc, save to desk top, then add to Itunes in usual way.

Works for me!

Good luck,

I get all mine from Amazon where they are 500x500, which is large enough for my needs

The forum sticky has a link containing relevant programs

The program I use (mp3Tag) tries Amazon.com and Amazon.de. I've also had lots of success with Wikipedia.
