Album Cover Artwork
« on: 30 Aug 2006, 00:52 »
I am in search of a website that has plenty of album covers in JPEG format, that are a uniform size and quality. I understand that Google is my friend for obtaining album artwork, but I've yet to come across a site or hoster that has a plethora of covers, in a uniform size and/or quality. Is there anything like this out there on the intarwubs?

And if you played too hard it'd flop out and dangle around by the wire and that is just super ugly

here was me thinking i'd found a thread for the greatest album covers of all time.

have there been many decent album covers since the cover became five inches squared?
i can't think of any that carry proper artistic merit other than in your honour by foo fighters and check in by the chalets.
muse have a few interesting ones i suppose.

Yeah, there's some legal reason why it's actually illegal to have a big archive of cover images. Copyright blah blah. So online shops or review sites like Allmusic are gonna be your best bet outside of Google Image search.

I found the Album Art Aggregator was a pretty useful way to search various incarnations of Amazon etc. and grab images quickly.  

You point it at a folder on your PC and it uses folder names etc. as search terms to find covers.

Because I'm amazingly interesting and unusual I found this only worked for about 50-60% of my CD collection, but that was a damn good start. ;)
