Author Topic: OT: CD Covers - Where? (Read 7451 times)

It looks like the site I normally get my cd covers from has taken them down. Anyone know of a good site to download CD covers?

I get most of mine from amazon.com. Usually you can click the thumbnail for a higher res one but not always. They store them in every different formats to, sometimes BMP or GIF but most of them in JPG.

Sasquatch....I suggested there too until I went there today and noticed that they have removed all of the Audio CD covers! At least the movie covers are still there....

Another place I've tried when amazon doesn't have a cover is www.buy.com

I wonder where M$ get's theirs in media player 9. I hate how they did that though, they should have a cd covers folder, not just dump them into the directory with the song/albumn.

www.Kmart.com has the best covers I have found yet.

Did you really mean kamart or was that a finger slip? I tried kmart and they were pretty good but a bit small.

No need to convert, heres a helpful hint: Sometimes when you enlarge the cover, it turns into a .bmp, even though IE path says its a .jpg.

Instead of enlarging it, then right-click, save do this:

Right-click the little image, then choose "Save target as". It will save it as a .jpg for ya.

Try it, thought I could help,

Here's another place to look:

Isn't every cover link on that page broken? They did not put the ending </a> page on all their links so there are no links.

www.samgoody.com thiers are a little larger than kmart.

SamGoody has the smallest covers I have seen on any site. What CD did you look at that were so big?

I used to get mine from www.walmart.com They had pretty good size but I couldn't get all of them there.

I use this one. http://www.coverkingdom.net

I found a good covers site, although it's german. The dreamcast cover I downloaded was around 1000x1000 pixels, pretty nice. They also have a ton of CD and other types of covers. Also the interface is a lot better than coverkingdom.net, I found that one to be pretty clunky and slow.

This site has just about every artist available the images are around 200 x 200. I use this one for the hard to find albums. (www.allmusic.com)

Walmart's Website has nice 500x500 scans

Try Wal-Mart.com It shows small versions of the album cover, then you can click on it for a larger view. Which is a good size for quality. And they're JPEG
