I have an extensive music collection on CD, which shouldn’t be news to anyone who’s visited this blog. I rip all my CDs to my local Plex server. I’m a little particular about the album art for the albums. I want it to be an exact representation of what is on the shelf and I want it to be in good quality.
For multiple varied reasons, I sometimes can’t find suitable album art online and in that case, I do it myself, scanning and cleaning up the cover art. The result is something unique. Duh, since I wasn’t able to find it elsewhere. And I think it would be a shame to keep it to myself if someone else had a need for that artwork.
Up until now, I’ve been storing these files on Flickr. It’s not been bad. Even with their recent restrictions on free accounts, I don’t really have any worries of exceeding their limits. But, as mentioned in past posts, I’ve been wanting to be more independent, so I made the move of the files to my own server.
And now you can get the cover art files from https://anachostic.700cb.net/AlbumArt. It’s a little gallery that took all of about 45 mins to code up. It displays smaller images and when you click one, it shows a larger image in a new window. The small size is 500×500 and the large is 1500×1500. These should be usable for anyone’s general usage. You can save some time by right-clicking a small image and choosing Save Target As.
And now, when I add new stuff, I don’t have to go to a browser, open Flickr, log in, do the upload, and blah blah. It’s a simple file copy for me on my network. Easier all around.
