Album art for rare and badly tagged music
February 16, 2010 in album art by Dan Gravell
Since using bliss on my music collection I've enjoyed downloading album cover art for recordings I didn't expect to.My music collection contains many rare recordings and oddities that aren't standard album releases by mainstream artists. These include:
- Cover mounted CDs
- Music by independent musicians (REAL indies!)
- Podcasts
- Bootlegs (*ahem*)
Another common example in my music collection are cover mounted CDs. In t
he UK a music magazine called 'Q' often offer compilations of tracks along a given theme, mounted on the front cover of the magazine. Previous examples were Essential Chill Out and The Best Tracks From The Best Albums Of 2000. Thankfully, art for these records is stored on the online database at discogs.org, which bliss searches, so this art was found automatically too!It's been great to get a complete set of album art for all the odds-and-ends in my music collection. If you have trouble finding album art for rare recordings, give bliss a try!
