short request:
is this side scrapeable?

http://cover-paradies.to/

there are a lot cdart in good quality online - especially for compilations and european music
perhaps you could build in an option for the scraping source?
i think it could work because they are offering a browser search plugin

so what do you think?

The cd images on that site are not usable with out some work... the cdART images are somewhat special. On XBMCStuff.com's forum has a good tutorial for making cdARTs using free software(GIMP) - http://forum.xbmcstuff.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=44

Try to make a couple and submit them.. I would do them, but I still have about 400 to do for my own collection...

Version 0.9.3 - http://www.mediafire.com/?fv18nl0ej5uk0u9

Fixes

- Auto download working again.
- Changed how the database is accessed - make sure you Refresh Local Database(in the Advanced menu)
- Added Local cdART list(in the Advanced menu) - This is the start of truly managing the local cdARTS(viewing and deleting) - only able to view cdARTs at this time.
- Added about 40 cdARTs to XBMCSTUFF.COM. about 70 still to upload, and about 300 still to make..

No problem... On XBMCSTUFF.com's forum, there is a cdART request area, have a visit, add a request of your cdARTs. I'm sure someone will help out.

Do you have anything that you want the program to also do?

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?
