After subscribing to 52 and downloading "One Two" I dropped it right int iTunes so I could put it on my iPod. I noticed right away that there is no artwork, so I went ahead and made my own from the upper left-hand corner of the sight. It's not great but it's something. So I've got here for other to use, and if anyone has some design skills please make a good one for us to use! Hopefully there will be official album art that will be coming with the tracks at a later date.

Ari you're the man and thank you for your music and such a ground breaking idea in this world where the record companies just don't have a clue...

I bet there are some really talented people out there that could come up with some amazing designs. I hadnt noticed the lack of artwork because I have been so busy this week I didnt get a chance to add "One Two" to my mp3 player yet (although I have had time to listen to it on my computer while I work). Now that you have mentioned this.. I will certainly have to find a solution before I add it. HHmmm...

I don't have an iPod and I don't download music, so how does the artwork thing work?

The artwork shows up when your playing a song on you portable music player, iPod, Zune, whatever. Usually it's the artwork for the album, so while on your iPod you are playing a song from The Break-In, the cover for the CD will be displayed on your device.

Here's a link to my iPod Nano and iPhone, playing an Ari song.

The album art is much more prevalent on the iPhone, since it takes up most of the screen, but you can still see it on the Nano. I know that album art seems like no big deal but it makes a huge difference on a device like an iPhone.

I used this one from the front page http://www.arihest.com/images/52_albumcover_175.jpg
It looks pretty good.

Yeah, Megabn, that is the artwork for this project - what is shown on the main website page.

We've just added an Artwork section called "My Artwork," where you can now download two versions of album covers (a new "Winter Songs from 52" cover, and an overall 52 album cover), and also submit your own artwork to be posted on that page, for those gifted in Photoshop. Instructions for adding them to your songs in iTunes are also on the page. Please log in and check it out under the 52 Members Menu!

This is fantastic, I can't wait to see what people come up with.

I subscribed to 52 on a friend`s recommendation (I live in Aust).

With the artwork, from what I can see all the images (Winter Songs, etc) are thumbnail size (or thereabouts).

I am a bit old-fashioned, and would like to create a four CD set of the 52 songs.

Would it be possible to have the images so they can be downloaded and printed to fit into a CD case?

Cheers, Mark.

Hi Mark!

Go into "My Artwork" which is located on the left sidebar. The images are available to download there - I am unsure if the pixel quality is good enough to make a great print out. If not please let me know and I'll see what I can do about getting you a higher quality download.

Thanks and glad you are enjoying the project!

Hi Kristina

Thanks, I think I have things sorted out.

It looks like the images once downloaded will be suitable for printing off and using for full size CD cases.

I will let you know how I go.

Cheers, Mark

Any idea when the cover for the Fall Songs (or Autumn Songs where I come from ) CD will be available for download?

Cheers, Mark.

Mark,
The Fall(Autumn) Songs CD will be on I tunes sometime in January. Usually the CD of the previous season comes out about a month after the season ends just because it takes a while to register the songs on I Tunes. Thanks for your patience Mark and Happy New Year!-
Ari

That`s great, thanks for letting me know. I will keep an eye out for it.

Cheers, Mark.

I am just coming in late. I am from Holland and just recently discovered the music of Ari.

I've downloaded all 52 songs.
But... still only an artwork of 300x300px... that's sad, or am I just a dummy here?

Hope someone can help me.
