fucking bastards

>2 Pixels off
You're really so lazy you can't use MS Paint to crop it a little? Especially when it's only TWO pixels?
Christ, dude.

>>128030152
there's no fixed ratio crop option in Paint so I do it in Photoshop and it makes no difference if its 2 pixels or 50, you either have to crop it or you dont
but who doesnt just make the fucking artwork square in the first place? I can understand if its one of those horrible digipack scans where the original isn’t square to begin with but how do you even end up with 700x698px artwork

>>128030152
But think of the man hours after everyone boots up MSpaint

tbf it's gotten much better

>>128030152
thats too advanced for the /mu/ posters of today

>>128030205
I have never seen this in ~20 years of pirating music

They should have Soleseek which is just like feet stuff lol.

Post it

I assume anon is talking about a very specific album.
"I Am a Bird Now" by Antony and the Johnsons
It uses a famous photograph called "Candy Darling on Her Deathbed" as the cover. She was a trans model that worked for Andy Warhol, which fits the concept of the album.

>>128030013 (OP)
just google the album name and download the artwork from there jesus how hard can it be

>>128030922
dude google hasnt worked for getting decent quality album art for years

>>128030944
Name the album in question, then.
Guarantee it shouldn't take more than six minutes.

>>128031215
album is called "massive wieners"

>>128030836
IN THE BACKROOM SHE WAS EVERYBODY'S DARLING

>>128031215
oh dear, youre rather missing the point aren't you?
searching up another version of the album art is more work that cropping the slightly off-square version that came with the dl

>>128030013 (OP)
>steal
wdym?

>>128031517
>searching up another version of the album art is more work that cropping the slightly off-square version that came with the dl
Yes. I'm agreeing with that. I'm more saying if that's so difficult for OP (for some reason) then googling a cover isn't rocket science.

>>128030013 (OP)
>artwork is 200x200

>>128030013 (OP)
>embedded artwork on each file is 8mb

>>128030013 (OP)
sometimes album artwork isn't actually a square tho, and if you crop it to a square it fucks with the proportions. Pic related for example, making it a square would make the white borders outside the middle picture uneven

>>128033037
a lot of the time you can look up a vinyl release to find an offical square version

>>128030013 (OP)
>the highest quality upload is one where the album artwork is placed next to the actual LP itself
why are we here just

>>128033037
in these cases I still increase the canvas size to square it. with that specific cover I would then adjust the position of the picture to make the borders look right
I will not tolerate unsquare album art

worst is when the album only ever came out on cassette

The user "degraded tapes" unironically shares cp and cartel-related gore videos. What the actual fuck? He banned me after I told him about it lmao.

>>128034435
>it's real
he unshared the folder already XD

>>128034435
>>128034516
kek. I saw that too.

>downloaded album of pedoseek
>cp embedded in the tags
yeah i can see why you sickos like this program

>>128030013 (OP)
>steal album
So you went into a music store and stole a record or cd. What does that have to with the other shit? People like you should never go to discogs to grab a cover. It's appalling what some of the users upload. 100x100, flash obscuring half the cover, not in focus, etc.. That's some shit to get irritated about not 2 fucking pixels

>>128034435
the fact that you found that should put you on a list

>>128035053
The guy literally had an "explicit folder" with weird and suggesting names. Of course I asked him what the fuck was that and he banned me and unshared the folder. My guess is that the fucking idiot shared the folder by accident. Why would I risk myself downloading any of that shit... let alone typing them in the search box?

>>128030013 (OP)
fanart.tv exists, y'know
musicbee will even download it and embed it for you, though I like to make sure I get the correct version

>>128033753
Is that name really just MOIN, like the north german greeting?

>>128034435
the user 'harshdrone' is a faggot as well

now you guys are giving me ideas to hide some artworks in albums just for fun

>>128038989

seems so

threadly reminder that user "waddaw" is the giantest faggot on slsk and everyone should block him on principle

>>128033803
I like the cassette proportions. Also you can choose to include the spine or the whole thing

do these fags even listen to their shit? do they just not use a music player?

>>128039411
i hate that fucking cunt
>>128039034
yo, this guy unshared his files and unironically called me a pleb kek

Why do you weirdos still use Soulseek in 2025?

We have private trackers, which are actually safe to use, and 97% of all music recorded in human history music is available on Spotify or Youtube Music

Are you that poor, a 30 year old boomer that can't let go of old habits or just trying very hard to be part of something?

>>128042115
>private trackers
do i need someone to send me an invite or what
>>128039034
oh yeah this guy is an asshole and so is that degraded tapes fag

>>128042115
>We have private trackers
>trying very hard to be part of something
lmao
but since youre dumb as fuck and cant see the obvious, people use soulseek because there are no requirements. all you have to do is install the client. dont need an invite, dont have to pass any interview/get the autist seal of approval, dont have to seed, you engage with it entirely on your own terms

if I don't find a satisfactory artwork I spend hours photoshopping it until it looks good, is this normal?

>file doesn't include the art work
Stop making me put more effort.

>>128041931
a lot of boomer oldfags just use the file directory in windows explorer to browse their collection so they don't bother with tags

>>128042830
I've done this a few times with cassette releases.

>>128034435
His files are not returning to me or are not showing. Hmmm.

>>128043567
lmao nigga got caught. can't wait until he got listed

>>128043567
lmao nigga got caught. can't wait until he gets listed. what a moron.

if you find illegal shit on soulseek it's because you were searching for it

Fwiw, going to Search Tools in image search and selecting Large might work

but yes definitely annoying when it just brings you to an amazon listing or something

just use discogs

>>128051209
I don’t know why this is funny, was just trying to help

>>128043056
dont use windows but that's what i do. never saw the point in using tags when you've already named the directory properly

>>128052126
because you have to use a media player to listen to the files anyway and all media players can display your library by artist or genre or year etc

>>128053026
i just drag the folder into the queue of the media player and have it play from that. dont use any library feature.

>>128053401
fine. but when you have a large library more organisational tools are useful

>>128042115
where i live there is no unsafe piracy. private trackers that are actually good pretty much require you to have a seed box if you want to use them freely. with soulseek i require an internet connection

>>128030013 (OP)

>>128030013 (OP)
shit i forgot about soulseek. i used that shit 20 years ago

I always do this because otherwise it looks uneven when the number goes from 9 to 10

>>128057427
in fairness to you, it works about half the time, but anything remotely obscure will fail. better off using albumartexchange desu.

>>128056280
don't you want your track file names to be alphabetical?

>>128056280
yes, because I rename files pulling from the metadata

>>128057580

grim

>>128058235
There's no reason not to prepend a 0 except to harm your delicate sensibilities. It's pragmatic.

Holy shit. Zoomers are fucking retarded it hurts.

thanks for the free music chump

now that doubledouble isn't able to rip from qobuz is there any other app that can? theres an album that comes out at the end of the month but qobuz already has the tracks in their database and should be rippable.

>>128062936
Beggars can't be choosers.

>>128062936
if i really wanted an album that hadnt even come out yet i would just wait until it did before buying it because i clearly care a lot about the music and i would want the artist to have every opportunity possible to succeed (including my financial support from me buying the album)
