How to find great coverart

Tips & Tricks to get great coverart for your albums

Rhythmbox itself and the new cover search capabilities the 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/

• Disable the rhythmbox default cover art search and enable the embedded coverart search

• Search for embedded covers

Note - use a great music tag edit 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.

• Search using Rhythmbox in-built search - login to lastfm as well:

• Search using Discogs:

• 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.
