horst Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Hey there. I'm (re-)ripping my 1k+ CDs in a better quality than I've done in the '90s, where 192k was good, because HD-space wasn't that cheap like today. ? Does someone has knowledge or a idea how to programatically find CD-Album-Covers by Interpret and/or Albumname? Primarily I'm searching for a web source that has cover images.

LostKobrakai Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I've used http://www.tuneupmedia.com/ a few years ago quite successfully. The interface is a bit wonky, but it get's the job done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horst Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 @cstevensjr, @LostKobrakai, Thanks! ? I've already downloaded MusicBrainz Picard, as it is OpenSource (Python), and I also already found a plugin source code that fetches covers via a fanart.tv, where one can register for a API-key. That seems to be pretty fine and I will test this out. And if it doesn't work out as expected, I will use the MusicBrainz Picard GUI-App. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kongondo Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Just throwing one more in there...just in case. Not open source but has served me well in the past, TagScanner: https://www.xdlab.ru/en/ Beyond tagging, renaming and moving based on custom rules makes this very powerful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrura Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I use DBPowerAmp for ripping, there are a lot of advantages to using that, it handles cover art fetching very well, and the accurate rip is also very useful 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
