Description
The cover art type of an image indicates what part(s) of the release it includes.
List of possible types
Front
The Album cover, this is the front of the packaging of an audio recording (or in the case of a digital release the image associated with it in a digital media store).
Back
The back of the package of an audio recording, this will often contain the track listing, barcode and copyright information.
Booklet
A small book or group of pages inserted into the compact disc or DVD jewel case or the equivalent packaging for vinyl records and cassettes. Digital releases sometimes include a booklet in a digital file (usually PDF). Booklets often contain liner notes, song lyrics and/or photographs of the artist or band.
Medium
The medium contains the audio recording, for a compact disc release it is the compact disc itself, similarly for a vinyl release it is the vinyl disc itself, etc..
Tray
The image behind or on the tray containing the medium. For jewel cases, this is usually printed on the other side of the piece of paper with the back image. -Alternatively: The image behind the tray containing the medium. For jewel cases, this is usually printed on the other side of the piece of paper with the back image.
Obi
An obi is a strip of paper around the spine (or occasionally one of the other edges of the packaging).
Spine
A spine is the edge of the package of an audio recording, it is often the only part visible when recordings are stacked or stored in a shelf. For compact discs the spine is usually part of the back cover scan, and should not be uploaded separately.
Track
Digital releases sometimes have cover art associated with each individual track of a release (typically embedded in the .mp3 files), use this type for images associated with individual tracks.
Other
Anything which doesn't fit in the types defined above.
