Great application - just bought it. I’m still learning the ropes as there’s so much to tweak.
Is there any way to get higher-quality artwork from Musicbrainz - or perhaps a different source? They’re pretty small and look very poor on a larger device such as my computer or my iPhone.
The next version is ging to be able to get artwork from Discogs, which is generally higher quality
Excellent!
Thanks
Hi,
I just updated to 2.6.1
Is this feature now included? And if so, how can I replace the artwork of low resolution I already have?
Cheers Marc
PS: Is there a possibility to erase all album art for all titles in one go? Then I could just rescan all files for better images with iTunes and have those missing be found by Jaikoz
Yes it can get better artwork from Discogs
If you have a value in the Discogs Release Url field. If you do you can run ‘Update tags from Discogs’ and this will update various fields from the Discogs database including the artwork, and Discogs artwork is usually quite high resolution. But you have to modify ‘Preferences/Remote Correct/Discogs/Artwork’ to ‘Populate this field if empty’ because by default it is set to ‘Never Populate this field’ (because if you are using iTunes this will override the artwork downloaded by iTunes but not stored in the file itself - only stored in the iTunes database.
How do you get a Discogs Release Url ? If the track is corrected by Musicbrainz it may have added one in, or you can go to the Discogs website yourself and manually search for one yourself and add it in. In later versions of Jaikoz there will also be an AutoCorrect Tags from Discogs that will try to find the release id automatically
To delete all the artwork just select the artwork fields , bring up popup menu (or use Main Menu/Edit menu) and select Delete.
hi I am unclear about the Dicogs URL & musicbrainz part. I have been trying to autocorrect via musicbrainz but it never updates the discogs URL (and i have it set to always update this feild) or any of the other feilds in the relations tab (it does occasionally but i would say that it does so less than 1 out every 15 songs). Actually i wonder if i am doing something wrong in general because it only updates a very few of the files artwork. Any thoughts on this would be appriciated!

PS Not sure if it is useful but i am using XP and v2.6.1

Have you run Retrieve Acoustic Ids to get a Music IP Id because it sounds like you are not getting a match against Musicbrainz either, if you do get a match on Musicbrainz it will populate the Musicbrainz Id Field.
If a match is found on Musicbrainz and the release that track belongs to has a Discogs Release URl Relationship then the Discogs Url Release field should be populated, if not it shouldnt. You can check this by using the ‘View Track at Musicbrainz’, ‘View release at Musicbrainz’ and so on. Let me know how you get on.
