Very, very recently, I've seen an enormous reduction of album art from Google and Bing searches. Amazon, which had been a go-to source for large album art images, has been reducing the size of images to a fraction seen just a month ago. Am I the only one noticing this? Are there other sources of l…

I prefer the images that can be found here. https://www.albumartexchange.com/ You need to register to have access, but most images are avaialble in up to 1500x1500 and have been well curated by the members. There is no way to automate this that I am aware of, so each album needs to be found on the…

fanart.tv also has a Music section . This should give you a quick view for album art for ABBA: https://fanart.tv/artist/d87e52c5-bb8d-4da8-b941-9f4928627dc8/abba/?section=albumcover It may be a coincidence :innocent: :wink:, that the same GUID is valid as artist ID on MusicBrainz: [imag…

Thank you! I created an account at Album Art Exchange and downloaded AlbumArtDownloader. I now have no doubt that album art is disappearing from Google and Bing searches—I'm not seeing the dozens of covers I used to see for even popular releases, and large images are an absolute rarity. Amazon is d…

If you look at a random release with cover art at Amazon and inspect the source code you can still find this 1477x1500 pixel cover art [image] Maybe it depends on the music style? Or the Amazon country settings?

I would need someone to walk me through that. I think F11 or F12 reveals the source code of a web page. I'm ignorant as to what to do, thereafter. Google searches now tend to reveal Amazon as the sole source for album art on the web. All the other results one would normally see with each search are…

What I am realizing is that the Album Art Exchange is easier and faster than any searches I used before. I wish I had been using this years ago. The only hassle has been the occasional questioning of my humanity, when the site checks if I am a bot, because I'm running so many queries. I've been ab…

Album art disappearing from Internet searches?
