does musicbrainz get all its album cover image locations from amazon?

at the moment, yes

do you know what the copyright restrictions involved in reusing them are?
2007-03-30 08936, 2007

no idea

I'm building a small site for a local record shop, and using the musicbrainz api to help the owner catalogue his stock, and I'm wondering whether it would be allowed to use the images on the frontend of his site
2007-03-30 08913, 2007
kwijibo
I strongly suspect not

I think that's one of the things amazon probably take a dim view of - using their site to help their competitors

it's a shame there isn't an online repository of release artwork, unlinked to any one commercial concern
2007-03-30 08920, 2007
kwijibo
presumably the record labels don't object to the use of their artwork

FauxFaux needs album art if I'm going to keep using these pretty players instead of foobar.

hey all
2007-03-30 08930, 2007

I have a database question, is there anyone in here who knows anything alot about it?
2007-03-30 08921, 2007
JTole
ok, well I will ask anyways, when I look up mellon collie and the infinite sadness on musicbrainz. I get a proper ASIN,
2007-03-30 08947, 2007
JTole
however I looked up this album in the database and there was no asin listed for either of the double discs
2007-03-30 08936, 2007
JTole
so I pulled up the asin listed on the musicbrainz page on the albummeta table in the database and linked that id back to the album table as is described in the wiki, and it comes back as Mellon Jolly and the infinite madness
2007-03-30 08937, 2007
JTole
which I looked over google and I couldn't find that album, I see mention of it, I see a story about the pumpkins named that and last.fm has a reference to it but with the proper album name, mellon collie and the infinite sadness
2007-03-30 08954, 2007
JTole
but I assume they musicbrainz technology
2007-03-30 08949, 2007
JTole
my question is how come when I look up the proper album name on musicbrainz I get the proper asin and when I look up the wrong album name I don't get an asin but looking at the database the asin is signed to the wrong album name and nothing to the right album name
2007-03-30 08912, 2007
JTole
I don't understand how the website knows where the asin is in fact

asins used to be detected by a bot

I just also found the table amazon_album_asins also has this pointed to the wrong album name
2007-03-30 08940, 2007
JTole
I don't think there is a bot that automatically detects the asin in the musicbrainz page, is there?
2007-03-30 08938, 2007
JTole
they still have the right asin on the right album on their page, and from what I have seen so far they get mostly everything from the database, this is the only album I have found so far with the wrong info in the database and the right info in the browser
2007-03-30 08923, 2007
BrianG
actually cover art was detected by a bot
2007-03-30 08934, 2007
BrianG
and linked to the releases
2007-03-30 08954, 2007
BrianG
and it had nothing to do with asin
2007-03-30 08913, 2007
JTole
ok
2007-03-30 08936, 2007
JTole
asin is what I am asking about but I just made a text dump of the entire database and am now doing a grep for that asin
2007-03-30 08905, 2007
JTole
hmm, just found the asin listed in a third place that is new to me, I will find out where in a moment here but it's a double cd, so... well, lets see
2007-03-30 08947, 2007
BrianG
its a bootleg, it wont have an asin
2007-03-30 08910, 2007
JTole
what won't have an asin?
2007-03-30 08924, 2007
BrianG
Mellon Jolly
2007-03-30 08930, 2007
JTole
oh but it does
2007-03-30 08938, 2007
BrianG
you can buy the bootleg on amazon?
2007-03-30 08945, 2007
JTole
no
2007-03-30 08902, 2007
JTole
it has the official albums asin, but the official album doesn't have it's own
but I still am not sure how the website worked to get the proper asin on the proper album and no asin on the bootleg when it was backwards in the database
2007-03-30 08905, 2007
BrianG
the website updated after i changed it
2007-03-30 08928, 2007
BrianG
it had the Mellon COlly cover before
2007-03-30 08946, 2007
JTole
but it had the correct asin before I posted in this room, no?
2007-03-30 08904, 2007
BrianG
it had no asin on the website, jsut cover art
2007-03-30 08919, 2007
BrianG
and it can't have an asin because it's a bootleg not sold on amazon
2007-03-30 08933, 2007
JTole
so if I updated my database, the two albums discs would have a proper asin?
2007-03-30 08910, 2007
JTole
right, I knew the asin I had on the bootleg was for the official disc, but it just wasn't showing up in the official disc
