Feature Request: Overwrite last.fm album art #3

Open booherbg opened 8 months ago

booherbg commented 8 months ago

I have a bunch of DJ specific EPs. These are weird because they often have the same album title as a main single release but may have different remixes or track lists. Example: Haddaway's What Is Love has 71 versions with the same title, depending on label and market release :) https://www.discogs.com/release/260388-Haddaway-What-Is-Love

A nice feature could be specifying a last.fm id (for example) to use for a given album art. This way we can specify a different album art that is compatible with the given album, for cases where last.fm can't find a perfect match.

For example, this is the album art of the EP I have, but it's one of many with the same album title: https://www.last.fm/music/Haddaway/What+Is+Love/+images/9238fe1af941e11b689dd3e13c2556b0

(so maybe 9238fe1af941e11b689dd3e13c2556b0 could be provided -- but this is all conjecture and maybe harder than it's worth it :P )

Alternative: Show a preview of which art last.fm has found, allow the user to modify the title if needed (to hone in on the specific art).

Are there multiple options? Could show them all on the form page, and let the user pick. In a few cases my album art is the wrong one. Given the art-centric nature of milkcrate, this could be a very useful feature :)

Or how about letting users upload their own images of the alternative cover art? Was planning on that being the next step for MILKCRATE, allows user to upload specific vinyl variants, cover arts, etc.
