I have about 16 albums that I cant find, I do not have the orig. cd. I have tried amazon, walmart and search engines.

When all else fails and I cannot find the proper image anywhere, after a while I will give up and simply . . . bluff   

I find an image of the artist/band that I like and feel is suitable and I use that.

Some options:

- be without
- try slightly modified internet searches (maybe the artist or album names could be spelled differently)
- use some other existing image (as AoXoMoXoA suggested)
- create a new image with an image editor (for example, start with a picture of the artist and add the artist and album names as text)
- post a list of the albums here and hope someone can help.
- use a generic "no cover art" image. Here is mine, feel free to use it:

..and finally, if they don't have a myspace entry or their own website you are sol !

I'm down to only 4 albums without proper art.  These were EP's from before the bands were known.  Probably sold at local shows and never had a proper cover done.

If MC doesn't find it, and you've tried amazon and walmart's sites.  Here's a couple others.

Google image search.  If it's not on the first 2 pages, abort.

http://rateyourmusic.com    Usually has 300x300 art and has had quite a few that I couldn't find elsewhere.

http://www.cdcovers.cc/    Has really high res stuff.  For example Evanescence - Fallen is in 1500x1500!
I'd really love a plugin for MC that searches here.

Some other sources I've tried.

http://albumart.org/
http://www.coverhunt.com/
http://www.mega-search.net/
http://www.slothradio.com/covers/
http://www.allcdcovers.com/index.php

But frankly I bluff alot. But I should probably stop because all these bluffs end up getting uploaded to JRiver, don't they?

Quite useful:

Any of these high resolution sites use source images instead of users uploading off of their flatbed scanners?
I hate when I can see the texture of the paper the cover is made of.
