For most of my samplers I try to get the single covers so i changed a few things from [amazon.com](http://amazon.com) to [amazon.de](http://amazon.de) and from album as search string to title.

When I look for 4 Just 1 Day from Kai Tracid I get 4 very similiar results in the search query box with infos about  
artist, publisher , release , album

While I am looking for covers it would be interesting to see which of the four offers a cover.

In this case it is the third. I assume that amazon uses the same picture for "no picture availabe" so there should be a chance to get an additional column with "picture available" or an "icon".  
Because I prefer quadratic covers I would like to see if it is quadratical and the resolution.  
If you have a cover with 299x300 you'll get an info like "is not quadratic". Than both infos (audratical & resolution) are useful. I would prefer a 399x400 over an 435 x 600 cover.

I checked the amazon "picture not available" filename and it is the same [http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/G/03/n...8510\_AA192\_.gif](http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/G/03/nav2/dp/no-image-no-ciu._V67078510_AA192_.gif)

What must be done to get these additional columns "square cover" & "cover resolution"?

Thanks  
Wolfgang

I have added an updated .de script to the [web sources archive](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/1681/1).  
It list only albums with covers, shows the dimension and the album format.  
Please test it.

Hey Dano,  
first of all thanks for the fast solutoin. I played with it and unfortunatelly got no hit for the tracks I wanted to tagg with a cover.  
I changed the search criteria from album to title.

I found an example where the resolution wasn't shown but there was a real cover available (I checked the previwe). The example is "Sweet Thing" from Mick Jagger.

Peter Mintun and than The Ohio Players didn't show a resolution but they have covers.

Maybe in one or two hours I will post my experience.  
THANKS  
Wolfgang

If there is no resolution shown, it means it has a very small cover (maybe 130x130). I just have not implemented it for smaller covers.  
Do you need it?
