This page outlines websites that [[MusicBrainz]] can use to retrieve cover art. |
|||
There are a number of times that cover art isn't available on Amazon, either due to customer-submitted images or to an absence of a release. Also Amazon does not stock a lot of indie music that other smaller retailers on the net sell. |
|||
In order for [[MusicBrainz]] to deep link (link directly to a JPEG file on the retailers site) [[MusicBrainz]] needs permission from the retailer. Each retailer should be contacted to ask for permission to deep link to their site and [[MusicBrainz]] should NOT link to a retailer if no permission has been granted. |

=Supported Web Sites= |
|||
So far we support CD Baby and archive.org cover art links. To create a new cover art link, follow these steps: |
|||
* Go to the release you'd like to add cover art to. |
|||
* Click on Relate to URL |
|||
* Select the '''has coverart at''' link type |
|||
* Enter the URL to the '''image itself''' (i.e. ends in .jpg or .JPG) |
|||
** CD Baby: [[[Image:prozak.jpg]] http://cdbabyname/p/r/prozak] |
|||
** archive.org: [[[Image:xgn017.jpg]] http://wwwarchiveorg/download/xgn017_-_dissident/xgn017] |
|||
* For CD Baby, you're done. For archive.org, proceed to the next step |
|||
* Since archive.org does not have a consistent scheme for music URLs and coverart URLs, you need to add a seperate '''get the music''' link to the music page. (e.g. [http://www.archive.org/details/xgn017_-_dissident http://www.archive.org/details/xgn017_-_dissident]). You can choose any of the 4 ''get the music' link sub-types. |
|||
That should link in the cover art and make sure the Info link below the cover art goes to the right place. |

This section should contain a form letter that volunteers could use to ask for permission. Please volunteer to write such a letter! |
