This video is available in the Videos section. It shows how to create CD and vinyl artwork in MusicCovered using Discogs and 45worlds, generate booklet PDFs, and import artist logos and background images with fanart.tv. A simple way to make your local music library richer, cleaner, and more visually complete.

Hello MusicCovered,
I like the style your app has, really enjoying it!
May I ask, if there are any possibility to keep all imported images, like Front, Back, Vinyl, CD, Booklet, etc. in separated folder inside the Album folder, like Lyrics, for example, and to save it in original quality, without compression, since I have very many high resolution scans and it is a pity to lost picture quality, which sometimes is very beautiful?
And another question, would be very interesting to see the actual Vinyl pictures, when I save it like Vinyl1, Vinyl2, Vinyl3... when it is Side A, Side B, Side C is playing to make impression full.
Thank you again,
Marat

Hello Marat,

Thank you very much for your kind words — I’m really glad to hear that you are enjoying MusicCovered. The app is growing day by day, and feedback like yours is genuinely very valuable.

Regarding image quality: in reality, MusicCovered does not compress those images.

The Booklet tool simply gathers together the images you choose to provide. It does not compress them. The back image is also used as it is, so there is no quality reduction there either.

The only exception is the front cover. That one is not taken from a separate front image inside the album folder, because the main cover shown by MusicCovered is the embedded artwork stored directly inside the audio files. This was a deliberate choice, since the embedded cover is the one the user decides to save inside the files themselves and it remains the most reliable reference for the main album artwork.

What I could add in the future is the possibility to define a dedicated folder from which MusicCovered should read the additional images it displays — again, all except the front cover, which would still continue to come from the embedded artwork in the files.

As for Vinyl1, Vinyl2, Vinyl3, and using the correct disc image depending on whether Side A, Side B, or Side C is playing: I think that is absolutely a reasonable idea and should be possible to implement. In fact, part of that logic may already work to some extent, but I will look into it more carefully because I understand very well how much more complete and immersive that would make the experience.

Thank you again for your message and for the suggestion.
