source for covers changeable?

Tue Oct 12, 2004 4:42 pm
I like amarok a lot, really nice app!
Upon first import of my collection I made heavy usage of the automatic fetching of album covers, but many covers couldn't be found at amazon.com. Searching them by hand on localized amazon.de helps in most cases, but is a tedious task.

I'd like to see a future to select my favorite amazon-site where to fetch the covers from.

As amazon.com and .de are very similar (same pathnames, same filename logic...) it should be possible, maybe for other localized amazon sites, too.

Thank you!

Or amazon.co.uk even.
The left click link to the amazon site feature confuses me;
Why would I want to buy a CD I already own??
Can we have support for Play.com, hmv.co.uk etc... or are you legally obliged to pimp amazon ? :y32b4:

The reason they use amazon.com is just because it has a XML interface to all their info.

Some covers are fetched, but they do not show up. Some of them can be seen with the show full size. Others does not get in at all.

Most of the problems are with tracks from CDs like Billboard Top Hits - 1980.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
