If a cover doesn't show after a few minutes, try modifying the photo to a .png. Have had to do that a few times. If memory serves me well, only jpg/jpeg is accepted, not png. In several cases when I added albums from the artist page and covers (they were ok and jpg/jpeg) were not loaded. I fixed this using Admin panel, but all non-collabs can do in such cases is to report it in the forum, like projeKct did . Thanks to him, because sometimes less responsible users leave empty covers as they are, it's hard to notice them if it's not the current year release shown on PA front page.

You might be right. The album add screen says jpg. It may have been band photos that we had to change the file type to overwrite. Could have sworn I had to do the same for albums. Might also have been different in admin panel.

Also, thanks for ending the flac tyranny. Used to drive me bonkers when my album info was changed because apparently the only format ever is .flc.

About 300 albums with "FLAC download - bandcamp.com".

^ I agree, not only bandcamp provides digital versions.

Current Jeremy Galindo – guitar (2003–present) Christopher Royal King – guitar (2003–present) Jesse Kees – bass, keys (2016–present) Robi Gonzalez – drums (2016–present) Former Andrew Miller – drums (2003–2009) Raymond Brown – bass guitar, keyboard (2003–2007) Donovan "Dono" Jones – bass guitar, keyboards, Rhodes piano (2007–2016) Alex Bhore – drums (2009–2016) I think the band is a "root of evil" here because they (Lazy b*****ds!) don't bother to point out line-ups on bandcamp pages.   Using your info I can add "main" line-ups, but I don't know whether guest musicians were involved. Thanks, I'll correct additions by tupan as I can and leave TCat's 2020 releases to him - as an SC he has all the power to make updates.

^The information for instrumentation for the new album "Vespertine" and the rarities EP is not available yet.  However, if we wait until that info is available, we may: 1) wait and it is never updated, or 2) forget about adding the album altogether, just like you mention when people think they will come back to it later.  So, it is a wash out either way.  The albums don't have to be added as soon as possible, but it is better to have them in the database, even with partial information, then to not have them at all.  I have been going through the artists listed under "A" over these past few months, and about half of them do not have complete discographies, some are quite lacking.  All other sites that have album release information put the album up first whether they have all the info or not.  I agree that a certain degree of information should be had before putting it in the database, but if we have most of the information such as album cover, track listing, etc. then it should be added.  If it can't all be added at once, then we should update it later as we run across it.  Anyway, that's just my opinion.  I think we should at least strive to have a complete discography as possible, so that's where my focus has been.
