When I use cover art\>Discogs Artist + Album the highest quality I get is 600 x 600. When using MusicBrainz the highest I can get is 1200 x 1200. Is it possible to show higher than that (1200 x 1200 is fine, but I'm just wondering)? With Discogs, is that the highest I can get or is there a setting I can change so it shows higher than 600 x 600? ---

For MusicBrainz you can try to change the File -\> Options\> - Tag Sources settings to "Original" ![image](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/4/4c35b747234e0d07a8bef2121df88d08bceb436c.png) But there is no guarantee that you really get a bigger cover. It always depends on what quality and size is available at the source (Cover Art Archive). Please see the details in the [documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/customization/options/tag-sources/#musicbrainz-cover-size). ---

Several comments in the Discogs forum include something like this: > The reason for the 600px max is so that the image are a representative image for recognition but are not high-res enough to be considered reproduction, which could incur law suits. It's annoying not to be able to see high-res images, but there is a reason for that. Discogs is looking for ways to be able to display higher-res images, but unless copyright owners and lawyers start taking a different attitude to online open-source databases when it comes to copyrighted material, that's unlikely to change any time soon... I could not find any official statement from/at Discogs. ---
