I get the scans always of the Net and google inmage search can be quite useful at times.

A few freeloaders always ruin things for the rest. It's amazing how these people think they're entitled to everything.

comment #3

Beggars can't be choosers. Be thankful that we have anything at all.

In the context of that post, Godai, "requesting" doesn't sound all that bad. If these emails were of the "annoying, hounding, demanding" type, then I could see something worth getting bent out of shape and OOH, STERN LANGUAGE about.

While I always prefer to have scans, I'd never expect the ripper to include them, and I'd certainly not contact the ripper to provide them post release. Google the catalog # people, you can at least find covers pics, which is the most important ones anyway. As said, beggars can't be choosers.

Judge, These are sent to people's personal e-mail addresses, it is automatically "annoying, hounding, demanding". No requests should be made, if I'm able to do it, I will.

comment #7

Yeah!
You tell 'em!

comment #8

maybe it would be a good idea to put a warning in big letters on the very scans section ;)?

yeah, it would look ugly and all, but as we say in Spain "big remedies for big diseases" (hope this saying doesn't sound too strange to you, I couldn't think of a better translation or an equivalent English one).

Hmm..

It's nice to have album art with a digital music file.

Sometimes it's hard to find a decent resolution of the album cover on the company sites. When you do.. it's rare that it's a decent size and more often than not it's been aggressively compressed for display on a web page. Sometimes you get lucky, but with a lot of these imported releases foreigners have difficulty navigating sites while looking for a picture to use as the album art.

Many popular software music apps have been finding new creative ways to display the album artwork if it's available. It sucks when the only thing you can find is a small 150px compressed jpeg on the companies site only to have it scaled to double or triple that size in your music app.

Godai, I didn't even know you had a Scans section. I took a look at it and downloaded the Portrait of Ruin scans. You went overboard. I think that people who want the complete scans should buy the album.. as they most likely will be interested in more than one track. For the ones that may only end up keep a couple of tracks a lot of your effort is wasted. I'd be happy if there as a VGA sized scan of the cover and that's it.

I'm sure a lot of people end up finding album art or maybe making their own. Maybe it would be nice to have uses contribute album art that can be posted directly to the site?

Just a thought..

I forgot to say ~Thank You~ for your hard work. You're crazy!

I would never even know of some of the Japanese composers or musicians if it wasn't for your effort.

comment #11

SonRyu said it all. Keep up the great work Godai & co.

comment #12

Thank you for the effort #gamemp3 crew!

Hounding folks isn't very nice though. However just like the "This coffee is HOT" warnings supplemental guidance is sometimes necessary.

So in all fairness now folks know better since it has been SAID and no longer requires inference or pre-internet social conditioning. :>

comment #13

I have a feeling we'll be clarifying the exact nature of the 'scans' section shortly.

comment #14

Good work, gamemp3s staff, keep it up! And thanks for all your efforts, we really appreciate it!

comment #15
