The article mentions Amazon, though last.fm also has this functionality on their API which I've used on a personal project before. I've not really found albums it doesn't have an image for[1]. For last.fm you have to apply for commercial use.
Does anyone know what the licensing will be here? I'm unsure from reading the article.

- colomon 14y agoWhen I try that link, I get "The test API key has been deprecated. To use the Last.fm API you'll need to get an API account." And believe me, lots of the albums that I have do not have covers on last.fm. Nor Amazon, for that matter -- and Amazon has had a bad habit of guessing very wrongly at cover art for some of them. It's bad enough I've started adding cover art on my own just to keep Amazon from making albums look ridiculous when I download them to my phone...
- martinwnet 14y agoWhoops sorry about that, must have the wrong API key, I'll get that fixed. (EDIT: now fixed) Well last.fm is user-uploaded content too, I'm unsure how the MB archive will be superior to their collection.
