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. |
