Topic: Finding album art covers with VDJ
The cover download feature in VDJ is completely unsuitable !!
When I try to find album art in VDJ, the quality of the covers that are found is abysmal !!

How can I find top-quality covers?

Doesn't anyone here know anything?
 

This has been discussed many times before. Do a google search and you'll find loads of previous threads about it.

 

@Benz what kind of quality would you deem suitable?

What exactly are you doing with the cover images that requires high resolution?

IMO the general idea of the cover art is to provide a quick reference to the DJ. Showing it in a "one square inch" window of the deck on the VDJ skin doesn't require high resolution.
 

Hi GroovinDJ, it’s not about high resolution; rather, the point is that they shouldn’t look pixelated.
Most of the covers are completely pixelated!
 

The two are connected. Pixelation implies low resolution. Higher resolution = clearer images.
 

when downloading cover art are you using the arrows to scroll and find a larger size for better resolution or are you referring to the cover art flow or cover art on the decks?
personally i keep cover flow above the browser gone and cover art turned off as much as possible and the only place i see it in the tag editor or side preview
