cover Art Sites
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.
Proposed Web Sites
- When adding a site, please include an example release and a direct link to its cover.
- Please also place the sites alphabetically.
