ALBUM COVERS
FOR YOUR MEDIA PLAYER

If you're like I am, you love a lot of music that's not yet available thru the digital download services (and much of it probably never will be thanks to short-sighted or now-defunct record companies). And, despite Apple's kindness in beginning to make album art available even for cuts not purchased thru them, this doesn't mean that they have everything to offer.

That leaves me with an iPod crying for cover art.

I have searched high and low for many of these covers...but was unable to find them online anywhere in any workable size. In other cases. there were little problems with the scans on iTunes, Amazon, Walmart or other places...it was poorly cropped, etc. So, pulling on a variety of sources, I am making these covers available so that those of you who also love this music may save yourselves some headaches. Some are less than perfect, but I did what I could with the raw materials I had available (raw files on the web, a digital camera, a scanner and Photoshop).

These are all 300x300 pixels, which seems to be the right size for common usage. It certainly looks great on the new Cover Browser section in iTunes.

In most cases, you can just drag these covers right into the section of iTunes labeled "Now Playing", and drop them where it says (appropriately enough) "Drag Album Artwork Here".

Enjoy!
