Image information
Various (command line) ways to find the format of an image:
file FILENAME
identify FILENAME
(requires imagemagick)sips -g all FILENAME
(OSX only?)
Better images
Getting better images from various sites:
iTunes
Replace 170x170
(or sometimes 100x100
) in the image URL with 600x600
or 1200x1200
. Be wary of upscaled images if using the 1200x1200 versions.
Amazon
Replace ._SL500_AA300_.jpg
or ._SS400_.jpg
at the end of the URL with just .jpg
(sometimes the letters and numbers are slightly different but it always starts with a dot and an underscore). This will usually get rid of any white borders around the image too.
Discogs
Click the image to go to the page with the full images. Even when there isn't a "more images" link, the page will often have a larger front image.
Jamendo
Replace 1.100.jpg
, 1.200.jpg
, etc., at the end of the URL with 1.0.jpg
Magnatune
Replace cover_50.jpg
, cover_160.jpg
, etc., at the end of the URL with cover.jpg
Last.fm
Replace serve/300x300
, serve/500
, etc., with serve/_
Soundcloud
Replace t500x500.jpg
(or whatever) with original.jpg
at the end of the URL (you can just remove the question mark after .jpg
and anything after it)
