A lot of CD covers are available from Google Play in high quality, if you know where to look.

* Take fx the album Songs For Silverman by Ben Folds: https://play.google.com/store/music/alb ... ajgrezggty
* Right click on the cover art -> Open Image in New Tab (At least that's what Chrome calls it). https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/Pbjjn ... _A=w300-rw
* Replace the "w300" in the url with "w3000" (Or some other high number). https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/Pbjjn ... A=w3000-rw

There you have it, a nice, high resolution, good quality (most of the time) cover, ready to be imported into GIMP or wherever and rescaled/cropped down to 1000 x 1000 (and maybe check black levels while you're at it).

For covers with non 1:1 aspect ratio, please crop the image instead of changing the aspect ratio.

nice finding THX for that - never used googleplay for a search hehe
but when u have IMAGUS Addon Installed, u get the hd image when u "shift-click" on it ( or whatever keys u are using to display the image in full scale )

Great catch!
This is really useable for us - and might help us get high quality album covers that we're missing around here.

Thanks for sharing, buddy!
