Hallo everybody.
I would like to know if there is a PHP script able to download an audio cd cover and info from the web. cddb.org give only name album,artist,etc, not the cover image.
Thanks

Amazon has web services you can query.

I use http://www.slothradio.com/covers/ to download covers.
This website is online for a long time and searches Amazon for images.

Here is a striped down version what I use in my project.

Code: Select all

<?php
$artist  = 'moby';
$album   = 'go';
$genre   = 'p';  // p = Popular; k = Clasical
$locale  = 'us'; // us, uk, de

$matches = '';
$content = file_get_contents('http://www.slothradio.com/covers/?adv=1&artist=' . rawurlencode($artist) . '&album=' . rawurlencode($album) . '&genre=' . $genre . '&imgsize=x&locale=' . $locale);
preg_match_all('/<!-- RESULT ITEM START -->.*?<img src="(http:\/\/(?:images|images-eu)\.amazon\.com.*?)"/s', $content, $matches);

foreach($matches[1] as $image)
	echo $image . "<br>";
?>
