Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] Cover Art and Credit Card Safety

[Alexander Kraev <alexander kraev gmail com>]

Hi Maximilian,

Yes, RB's cover art plugin is still using AWS for getting cover art. But 
we could move to Last.fm API. I think Last.fm is much better than AWS, 
it seems that their records/albums DB is larger. For example, there are 
not cover arts for Russian artists, but it's possible to find them on 
Last.fm. Because people update DB of Last.fm every day, because social 
networks rule.

Here is an API:

Br,
Alex
