Finding Artwork
Searching for covers
Tip
Install qsniyg/maxurl to automatically find links to high quality images when browsing the web.
The MH Covers cover search engine searches from a wide array of online streaming services, music stores and databases.
Some covers are available only on specialty sites that can practically only be found via traditional search engines' image search features. As such, the last resort would be to use Google Images and Bing Images search with the release name and/or any previously found cover even if it is low quality.
Searching for scans
- MusicBrainz offers both lossless and lossy scans.
- VGMdb offers only lossy scans for game and anime releases with full resolution available when logged in.
- Private torrent trackers See Music Sources
- P2P sharing services See Music Sources
Upscaling covers
If an image of acceptable size cannot be found, the best available image can be upscaled. Upscaling should be the last resort as it involves the machine generating new data based on guessing. chaiNNer can be used to apply upscaling models to images.
