Hi. Like you I am obsessed with having album art for every single song in my itunes library. A couple of your high-quality scans really helped completed or improved my collection. Thanks!
However, I am slightly disappointed when I see some of your scans being forcibly resized to fit a square. I understand that the ipod itself is unable display album arts that are rectangular, but by resizing the images I feel that it destroys the original album art. It is such a waste. In fact I believe Apple should allow non-square album arts to be displayed on the ipod.
I believe a better alternative at this moment is to provide 2 versions for non-square album arts. 1 version should be original sized to retain the original image, while another could be cropped to a square (not resized, it makes the artistes look weird :p).
I think you are right. I agreed that it is very frustrating (even to me…) to see the quashed album art. A lot of Chinese albums are not as square as the English albums.
I will take up your suggestion to provide the two versions where it is possible to !

Just a suggestion. 🙂 Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the suggestion !!
As u suggested, I did one to 杨丞琳 latest album 半熟宣言.
It does look better but I really wish iPod will support a non square version ! 🙁
