I have created a little "bookmarklet" (a piece of javascript activated from your browsers bookmarks), which can find *the original -full-size- cover-art versions as uploaded* to sites like 'Last.FM' (http://last.fm/), 'AllMusic' (http://allmusic.com/), 'Bandcamp' (http://bandcamp.com/), 'iTunes' (https://itunes.apple.com/genre/music/), 'MusicBrainz' (http://musicbrainz.org/), 'SoundCloud' (https://soundcloud.com/) and more...
You can find the latest version of the bookmarklet on my homepage at: http://www.rockland.dk/show/?post=393 Above page is in Danish, but the yellow highlighted link on the page, is -"the thing"-. Copy or drag the yellow link to your browsers bookmarks or bookmark toolbar, and activate it on pages showing album-art you would like to have in bigger size... WHEN ACTIVATING BOOKMARKLET ON A SUPPORTED SITE, THE FOLLOWING HAPPENS: *1)* An orange border appears on all images that the tool tries to re-load in originally uploaded version... *2)* When finished loading original full-size version of an image, the border changes to red and if you hover your mouse over it, you should see a mouseover text showing you the image's real dimensions (Note, in most cases the images will not actually change the size shown with on the page). *3)* To see the full-size version of an red-bordered image, now right-click the image and choose "View Image" (or whatever it is called in the browser you use). Alternatively, if the image is not defined as a link on the page, you can usually also see it full-size simply by clicking normally on it. *4)* And now you can save the original full-size image from your browser (maybe by simply dragging it to your desktop, but that probably depends on what browser you use). For example try it on: http://www.last.fm/music/Depeche+Mode/Violator/+images The bookmarklet is primarily tested with Firefox, but I assume it will work with latest versions of all popular desktop browsers (Chrome, IE10+, Safari, Opera, etc.). The tool supports pages on 'Last.FM' (http://last.fm/), 'AllMusic' (http://allmusic.com/), 'Bandcamp' (http://bandcamp.com/), 'iTunes' (https://itunes.apple.com/genre/music/), 'MusicBrainz' (http://musicbrainz.org/), 'SoundCloud' (https://soundcloud.com/), 'CD Baby' (http://cdbaby.com/), 'Jamendo' (http://jamendo.com/en/), 'Magnatune' (http://magnatune.com/), '45cat' (http://45cat.com/) and 'Amazon' (http://www.amazon.co.uk/?tag=bedrdhtml-21) sites. -However it works better on some of the sites than others-... (and there a better tools for Amazon out there, I think). Hope somebody can find it useful (like I do myself).
