Album Artwork: Your thoughts
Album Artwork: Your thoughts Posted on: 28.03.2013 by Izetta Pitney Recently i have been go through my music library cleaning up and adding ID3 details, and one things on the list was adding missing artwork. I know its long and tedious but i have little "OCD" when it comes to that. In the process i found some tracks especially with reggae and dance-hall where hard to find so I was comfortable leaving them blank, however I discovered all lot of artist do not all lot of effort in their artwork and as result some albums with crappy artwork seemed to not have the same appeal as they did before and ones with creative concepts climbed up the list.PUNCHLINE: Do you find that album art could influence the music you end up buying and/or how feel about the music? | |

Nearly all of my tracks have proper tags and art and I use artwork a lot in traktor. http://www.tspotter.net/ |

| Augustine Mitzen 30.03.2013 | A bit when i'm buying physical. when i'm shopping for digital files, not really, but it certainly doesn't hurt having a nice artwork with your files |
| Latoria Kavulich 30.03.2013 | not since i stopped buying tool cds |
| Arielle Posso 30.03.2013 | If it has a decent album artwork I'm more likely to give it a listen first. Don't get me wrong it's not super important. I'll still listen to the tracks with bland artwork or no artwork at all. All my tracks have album artwork though because I'm super particular about my music collection. |
| Sydney Lashway 28.03.2013 | I'm a bit of the same with music library OCD. Album art is not important to what I buy. HOWEVER, working in a record store and being a perpetual digger, if I see a cool album cover I'll always pick it up and give it a listen. So does it influence my buying? Maybe to an extent. |

| Brunilda Kora 28.03.2013 | Some of my all time favourite tracks are ones that I do not even know the name of! Some are b-sides, and some are ONLY recognisable by the record sleeve. It's hard for me - 'cos I've never used album artwork for digital DJ'ing, and if I ever do, I'm gonna have a hell of a time tracking down the artwork for all of my tracks... |

Mainly I just like having artwork on tracks because it's one more way for me to remember a song. |
| Libbie Orion 28.03.2013 | absolutely not (for me) i never cared much about the album art but i did take time to check it out Always seemd there were some hidden meanings in the artwork but it never made a differance if i like the track or not |
