If anyone notices an album cover in the database that is a bit fuzzy or generally not up to scratch, let me know and I'll see if I can find something better.

Thanks in advance.Smile

If you could post in this thread it would be great. No need to start a new thread everytime.

If you could provide links or send better pics, it would make it easier.

Saga really could use a fixin'. Their huge discography is kind of an eyesore on this site, which is a shame, because their artwork is really awesome.

I say it would be easier if we just went back to the 200/200 pixels resolution for album covers. Now we have thousands of covers originally added to the database as 200/200 pixels images and which are now enlarged at 300/300 pixels resolution, hence the blurry aspect. A couple of years ago I worked a lot to find 200/200 px cover images for more than two hundred albums which had very low quality cover images (even 100/100 px for example). Now the images I replaced are not suitable anymore. All that work in vain... quite frustrating, eh. Disapprove

Finally, Anno Domini HD in almost HD resolution. Nice, big and clear pictures. Especially this Maudlin is nice.


If you could provide links or send better pics, it would make it easier.

Glad to help. 3:30, I gotta go sleep, see you tomorrow. And if you ask, I have nothing better to do at the moment, just trying to tire myself to get some sleep, and when I'll wake up, listening some music and waiting for my girl to come. That's the life. University is still month away, so a lot of time I have.

^ Thanks, all done. Clap

Though I had to make some pictures smaller, because cover images on PA should "weight" less than 100 kB.
