that specific release doesn't have a cover on the MB website

you might have to enable "CAA" in the cover's option (or the .. ah i see)
2020-02-23 05428, 2020
ZaphodBeeblebrox
you said "picard" so I assumed you wanted the cover arti nit picard

2020-02-23 05458, 2020
ZaphodBeeblebrox

dragging an image from another tab to the "drop files here" box on musicbrainz might work in some browsers? but i've always just downloaded the image then re-upload.

ZaphodBeeblebrox
it workes on windows to paste an url in the "upload" box iirc
2020-02-23 05455, 2020
ZaphodBeeblebrox
but not mac

anyway why are we talking about picard or mp3 tag if it's the musicbrainz website to upload covers? :D

I started in picard and saw that the album was matched but the cover was missing
2020-02-23 05424, 2020
zentropy
so I checked the mb website and yes the cover was missing there
2020-02-23 05453, 2020
zentropy
so I googled the UPC on the mb page and found the cover on discogs in the first google result

I'm trying to figure out what to name a single. every reference to the song I can find uses a specific name but the cover art has a different title on it.
2020-02-23 05454, 2020
zentropy
then I did a search on google images (context menu when clicking on image on discogs) and found a larger 800x800 version of cover on albumartexchange
2020-02-23 05457, 2020
zentropy
then I tried copy image from Chrome and couldn't figure out how to paste into Picard
2020-02-23 05428, 2020
zentropy
then I tried dragging image from Chrome and hovering and dropping into Picard album cover blank thumbnail and that didnt' work either
2020-02-23 05446, 2020
Lotheric
upload it to MusicBrainz Covert Art Archive... then Picard will be able to fetch it
2020-02-23 05446, 2020
zentropy
can I upload to there from the picard app?
2020-02-23 05404, 2020
zentropy
I clicked refresh but I don't see the local cover art I added with mp3tagger
2020-02-23 05446, 2020
Lotheric
I'm not sure if Picard can submit art by himself to musicbrainz but you can go on the musicbrainz website and upload it
2020-02-23 05415, 2020
Lotheric doens't use Picard to tag
2020-02-23 05450, 2020
zentropy
why not?
2020-02-23 05425, 2020
Lotheric
because I've been using foobar2000 w/masstagger for years and I'm used to it
2020-02-23 05439, 2020
Lotheric
I do us Picard for file renaming though
2020-02-23 05445, 2020
Lotheric
~use
2020-02-23 05457, 2020
Lotheric is weird
2020-02-23 05458, 2020
Lotheric
heh
2020-02-23 05450, 2020
zentropy
but isn't the point of Picard to do a form of canonical tagging, rather than just making it up?
2020-02-23 05408, 2020
Toast joined the channel
2020-02-23 05409, 2020
Lotheric
what do you mean by canonical ?
2020-02-23 05413, 2020
Lotheric
it's a tagger
2020-02-23 05453, 2020
zentropy
agreed upon spellings and names for artists, releases, tracks, etc
2020-02-23 05433, 2020
Lotheric
that's all MusicBrainz (the database)
2020-02-23 05437, 2020
Lotheric
not Picard
2020-02-23 05450, 2020
zentropy
Picard uses MusicBrainz
2020-02-23 05401, 2020
Lotheric
I do too
2020-02-23 05452, 2020
zentropy
I thought Picard was the most tightly integrated MusicBrainz tagger
2020-02-23 05405, 2020
zentropy
the green button on the MB site launches Picard
2020-02-23 05423, 2020
zentropy
the context menu in Picard launches MB
2020-02-23 05429, 2020
Lotheric
I use Picard to rename my album folders/tracks then I use foobar2000 to tag my files from filenames
2020-02-23 05459, 2020
zentropy
so your saying I should use foobar2000?
2020-02-23 05414, 2020
Lotheric
no, that's just how I use Picard, you do you
2020-02-23 05457, 2020
Lotheric
Picard is a poweful tagger
2020-02-23 05455, 2020
outsidecontext
zentropy: You can drag and drop image URLs from the browser into the cover art box in Picard
2020-02-23 05448, 2020
outsidecontext
but if it is from some specific search result it depends a bit what search engine, which link you drag and which browser you use. but there is support fro google and bing search results, so this should work.
