How to find great coverart

Tips & Tricks to get great coverart for your albums

Rhythmbox itself and the new cover search capabilities that comes with the plugin can give you great album-art.

If you are starting afresh with our plugin you may not have many coverart being displayed.

This is our recommendation to find coverart quickly - follow the recommended order below:

• To start from a clean rhythmbox database, clear all previous coverart, ratings etc then close Rhythmbox and delete the rhythmbox cache:

    rm -rf ~/.cache/rhythmbox/

• enable the embedded coverart search

• configure what providers you wish to use during searching:

• Search for covers from the providers chosen

Note - you can also use a great music tag editor such as EasyTag to add pictures to your music. You should add pictures to the Front tag - you need only add pictures to one track in an album, not all tracks.

• Tips: Using LastFM for coverart:

To use LastFM you need to enable the LastFM plugin and also need to login to lastfm as well:

• Then use the power of Google to find those last remaining covers

Either double-click the picture or drag-and-drop to update the coverart for the selected album

Note: you can drag and drop from any picture source/web-page etc.
