Speedy 24 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Why are iTunes, Spotify and every digital stores and streaming services using a scan picture as a cover art? Concretely "Something to Remember" is dirty. :S I tried to write to the label, tried to write to iTunes, tried to write to my local distributor but nobody answers me. Honestly, I didn't buy a lot of Madonna albums from iTunes just because of the cover arts. What do you think, will they change the cover arts if we start a petition or something? Scandal... valinecode and anton5000 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton5000 1,493 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 For most of those releases and albums, I ended up having to google the photos myself and replace them... which I shouldn't do it in the first place. You'd think they'd have access to the original master files... Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottyx 8,757 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 cuz they dont make money on the artworks lol reinvented_0 and musicman 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathproof 10,555 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 It’s been like this for ages! Even before iTunes! For the longest time iTunes and Amazon was using the incorrect cover of Bedtime Stories with a scratch mark in the middle lol Its mainly the 90’s albums that have these scans. I’m Breathless - part of the left side is cropped off Immaculate Collection - the blue background isn’t a solid color, it also should be a lighter blue Erotica - PA sticker is on a slant, too close to edge Bedtime Stories has been fixed, but the coloring is faded Something to Remember - already discussed Evita - both editions are clearly scans. There’s even a scan line on the single disc edition Even Like a Prayer is a scan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert 501 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 i dont really care because i just listen to the music and not worry about the artwork to my digital files. and even if i did, it is so easy to replace. no big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valonqar 610 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Not only in digital stores. They (Warner) are using scans for printed editions (cds and vinyls). Shameful! Would You Like To Try and steady75 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst thing is that even the audio quality on those digital platforms are not that good, like the wrong versions of tracks on Madonna, TIC; Plus, LAP sounds muffled and different from CD, there's even glitch in the begining of Spanish Eyes gonna dress u up and Voguerista 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luluthecat 1,109 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I care. It really pisses me off. It's sloppy and totally unnecessary. It's annoying as it is how badly her backcatalog is handled, without having LQ dirty scans of CDs used as digital artwork. Apple Music updated some of her albums, but STR and IC still look like shit.

In my opinion, they should always do her up right for anything and everything. That's what they are getting paid for.
