Well, no joy here. 

I did confirm again that KB5000841 DOES cause the issue [jpg will not display, tho png will],

but  KB5001639 DOES NOT fix it.

wating on MS to get it together....

Discogs seems to have stopped working with AAD

Is there a new script available?

Seems they are blocking by user agent. I've uploaded a v0.23 which identifies itself appending your machine name to the UA string, so hopefully Discogs will treat each user as an individual and block or allow them based on their own usage rather than as the application in general.

If it fails again, try changing the line starting request.UserAgent to, well, anything else. Your guess is as good as mine!

Just tested it and it works. Really appreciated!

Hi everyone, I have been using older versions of all my audio tools for years now and have reached a point where I need to upgrade everything.

How does the current version of AAD integrate with fb2k?  (I've been using the COM automation server, and I seem to recall this was deprecated even way long ago but "it worked for me".)

Hi,

just want to mention, that the bandcamp.boo fails to do its work finding matching covers from the site.

check the screenshots. happens to almost all runs I do.




no covers, present on the webpages are shown.

can this be fixed? or is it just me?

and a big thank you for this very useful piece of code! helped us all the years! easy to use, speedy and no useless clutter!

Unfortunately it looks like Bandcamp's search is just not very good. Album Art Downloader XUI will do a search on the site like: https://bandcamp.com/search?q=%22Night+Driver%22+%22Spectravision%22 and the results that I see there match your screenshot fairly well. As to why a search for "Night Driver" "Spectravision" doesn't return the album Spectravision by Night Driver as the first result, that's something you will have to take up with Bandcamp! I do note that it is better at searching album titles than artist names, so you might try just omitting the artist when you search?

U're right, I could have checked the bandcamp search myself before, which I did not, because I assumed it will work. How wrong I was! Sorry! The bandcamp search is underwhelming.
 I try my luck and write a mail to them....

That worked much better, thanks for the hint!

Thanks, but it looks like it's coming from inside the Windows common file "Save" window, not something under my control. You can probably work around it by setting the path to save as (just click on it to edit) without using Save As, and then just clicking Save.

Is there any chance you could add PNG as the filetype to download from iTunes and Deezer?
Thanks.

I don't see any option on Deezer or iTunes for downloading png files instead of jpg. iTunes is tricky in many ways, so lets start with Deezer; can you construct a URL for an album of your choice that downloads a png rather than a jpg?

For Deezer the app itself already downloads PNG files I didn't realized when I wrote the comment, for iTunes just replacing the JPG extension for PNG works.
For example:

https://is5-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music115/v4/0b/51/38/0b5138cf-80b6-6a3b-b760-1779f1ff7398/source/9999x9999-100.jpg

And the downloaded PNG files aren't just renamed JPG files, they are real PNG files.

Thanks.

And both of the examples you provided appear to have all the same JPEG artifacts as the JPEG versions, which would indicate that they were converted from JPEGs.

Re: Album Art Downloader XUI

Reply #3070
That's something we can't be certain about. That could be for the two examples I gave above but not necessarily apply to every release. As far as getting the PNG file, it can be done.
The same can be said for Deezer, yet the app downloads the PNG versions of the artworks. The same can also be said for resolutions, there are LOTs of albums on iTunes (and Deezer) that have high res front covers but they are just re-sized low quality ones, and that doesn't apply to every album.
I'm not (trying to) discussing the quality of the PNG files, I was only asking for an option to download them.

Thanks.

As kode54 points out, where a png file is simply an auto-converted jpg file then I don't want Album Art Downloader to request png specifically, there's no benefit to it. It's a bigger file size of the exact same image. But, if that's something you really want, you can just edit the iTunes.boo file and replace where it says "jpg" with "png".

If you do happen across an example where the png file is not identical to the jpg then do let me know, I can see if there's any way to automatically detect that case. Otherwise, I prefer to keep it as the original jpg.

Thanks, I didn't know I just had to edit the boo file.
