is there any particular reason for using 450x450 image size? I like to keep my images fairly high quality just i cause i want to print them at a later time for instance. Is it performance issues? everyone nowadays seem to have enough harddisk space....

wonder if it's possible, if local cdart is found, that is not on the site, could it be automatically uploaded?

can we do anything with front.jpg, back.jpg, inside.jpg, inlay.jpg and booklet1.jpg, booklet2.jpg?
i have a fair amount of those also. On the other hand.....such a database would grow to immense proportions in the end i think. Any ideas? maybe just front, back and cdart?

Is there any other source besides xbmcstuff? The albums there are fairly limited.

mrto: Which version of XBMC are you using? The script.modules.pysqlite(which this program depends on) doesn't always get compiled on specific versions of XBMC. Though I might be able to get the correct files to you based on your version.
redje - Locally you can have the cdARTs at any size, I believe that the one's who really created the cdART(Reaven, Ronie and I believe Joe Brady had some good input) decided on that size, probably for uploading(ie on xbmcstuff). It's a decent size for XBMC. There are ways to batch resize(and keep the transparency background) which only makes one extra step.
igotdvds - redje is correct on the fact the files needed are special. Plus have you checked how bad some of those sites are, they have album art labeled as cd's, poorly cropped scans - way too much for a script to sort through and get the desired picture. Just like almost everything about XBMC, cdARTs only gets better through the community. It takes me about 2 minutes to make a cdART. I am slowly going through my own library, I have only reached the D's and like many others uploading the new cdARTs. I have personally have uploaded about 240 cdARTs to XBMCSTUFF, with many many more to go...
joebrady - right now, no. I don't know much about websites and how to implement the action of automatic uploading(on the web side.) The script could easily be modified to upload.

one thing i keep thinking about. If we are uploading 450x450px cdarts. Why aren't we uploading 500x500px front covers (folder.jp). As most of the music scrapers have a poor resolution. If one has a 450x450 cdart, we can assume he also has a 500x500px folder.jpg.

joebrady - in the settings you can set it up so it saves as Artist/Album/cdart.png or do you have a different way of storing your music that I need to consider? ie Album/cdart.png. Now thinking about that I'll add that option anyways..
redje - definitly a music scraper issue.. I always thought it used the folder.jpg file if it was found.(I could be wrong...)
