the ayumi hamasaki iTunes cover project [NOW IN HQ!]

[tasking]

A while back, I created the first thread compiling all of Ayu's album covers in 600x600 for iTunes. Then when ImageShack died, Tomoyo created the current thread. Unfortunately, most of the covers there are in PNG, which I've come to realize when coupled with iTunes is a no-no, because it takes up essential space needed on your device. I then found a site that actually lets you search and download art from the iTunes store - but to my surprise and horror, a lot of the covers there are really LQ scans. So, I took it upon myself to compile HQ album art this time.

For most of first 50 singles, I ripped the covers from the A COMPLETE screensaver, then used the iTunes store to fill in the gaps - but only if the covers were HQ and clearly digital. For the albums, I used the working links in the HQ album art thread and my own collection. So in short, everything here is DIGITAL, not scans.

Everything has been resized to 600x600 using Photoshop, and the irregular sized covers feature a black border to match the OS interface (except for POWER of MUSIC because that's the cover in the iTunes store).

If any of you have the now expired collection of HQ cover art compiled by Mario and want to help out, it'd be appreciated! Here are the covers that are missing, because I couldn't find an HQ digital version:

-A BEST
-a song is born
-A Song for XX
-ayu-mi-x
-ayu-mi-x II Acoustic Orchestra
-ayu-mi-x II JPN
-ayu-mi-x II Non-Stop Mega Mix
-ayu-mi-x II US+EU
-Bold & Delicious/Pride CD-only
-Cyber TRANCE presents ayu trance
-Cyber TRANCE presents ayu trance 2
-HEAVEN CD-only
-MY STORY Classical
-RMX WORKS from ayu-mi-x 5 non stop mega mix
-RMX WORKS from Cyber TRANCE presents ayu trance 3
-RMX WORKS from SUPER EUROBEAT presents ayu-ro mix 3
-Startin'/Born To Be...
-SUPER EUROBEAT presents ayu-ro mix

Stuff we're probably not ever gonna get digital covers of:
-avex official orgel collection
-Drizzly singles
-excerpts from ayu-mi-x III singles
-NOTHING FROM NOTHING (single and album)
-HARMONY albums
-the other side singles

Tip: Don't copy and paste the artwork from your browser into iTunes, because 1.) it saves it as PNG, and 2.) it adds this ugly strip on the left side. Save the covers to your computer, then right click on the album -> Get Info and double click on the Artwork box to select it.

For the sake of convenience, everything's in alphabetical order. Enjoy!
