        I've started fixing it some time ago, but gave up
      • 2011-01-09 00952, 2011

      • ruaok
        yeah, pointless.
      • 2011-01-09 00932, 2011

      • frewsxcv
        album art is obtained in the web interface by amazon, correct?
      • 2011-01-09 00951, 2011

      • ruaok
        heh. at least I'm not the only one in this timezone who should be in bed.

        hi frewsxcv. :)

      • kepstin-laptop
        frewsxcv, there are a couple of other sites that it can use, but amazon is the most common
      • 2011-01-09 00956, 2011

      • frewsxcv
        kepstin-laptop: there's no way to get that url or image in the xml api is there?
      • 2011-01-09 00937, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        not sure. You might try looking at how the picard cover art plugin works

      • kepstin-laptop
      • 2011-01-09 00941, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        it looks like they've more or less copied the server code to build a url to the art based on the ASIN from the amazon page ar.
      • 2011-01-09 00923, 2011

      • frewsxcv
        kepstin-laptop: then i can assume that if it wasn't released on CD, tehre shouldn't be any album artwork displayed, correct?
      • 2011-01-09 00901, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        not necessarily; older albums on vinyl and new digital releases still have cover art...

      • frewsxcv
        kepstin-laptop: but how does musicbrainz obtain that coverart since there's no CCID?
      • 2011-01-09 00937, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        frewsxcv, if there's cover art on the internet that is mirrored on archive.org, it can be linked to directly there. A couple of stores other than amazon are supported, and even amazon has some non-cd (digital releases, etc) artwork.
      • 2011-01-09 00914, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        hmm. I wonder if it would be possible to use the last.fm fingerprinting as a replacement for puids.
      • 2011-01-09 00919, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        apparently they were at one point planning to return mbids for tracks you look up with their fingerprinter; don't think that's happened yet tho...
      • 2011-01-09 00908, 2011

      • luks can't objectively answer that :)

        on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_content they use being able to modify something as the distinction between "open" and "free" content
      • 2011-01-09 00949, 2011

      • luks
        in that context, I don't think there is much difference between SA and NC

        And I'm generally very curious. Isn't Picard very openly licensed? One requiring source (changes?) to be made available?
