Cover Artwork
A square jpg from 400x400 to 800x800 pixel is usualy enough. Small enough to be loaded quickly but large enough to have a clean image.
Tip : Artwork does not need to be a square though, the "cover" player works well with landscape pictures, check this or this.
Audio clips
Mp3 compressed at 128kbps is usualy enough. Small enough to be streamed correctly but large enough to have a correct sound.
Tip : You can trim, fade in/out, convert to mp3 and do a lot more with Audacity. It is open source software for mac/pc/linux.
Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)
What is myDiscog ?
myDiscog is a database where you can store your discography full of artwork and audio clips. From there, choose one of the available flash player, and copy/paste its embed code in your favourite web page to show your discography on your website/page.
I'm supposed to receive a confirmation email from you but I never did.
Have you checked your spam folder ? Most of the time, confimation email will reach you in less than 10 minutes, but please allow 1 hour or 2 before contacting us (our email server or yours can be temporarily saturated or down). Otherwise, feel free to contact us.
What is that "Hidden" tag ?
The right name for this tag would be "Hidden from my official discography". It is a special tag you can't rename or delete, and switched on by default for a freshly created album. It allows you to prepare the album before making it visible in your players around the net.
Tip : Even with the "Hidden" tag switched on, an album will show in one-album players. This could be usefull for special uses of that album (promo page player or temporary player).
What is the "embed" code ?
It is an HTML portion of code that you can copy/paste in another web page : your own website, myspace page, blog...etc
Someone is using my music illegaly here, can you remove that content ?
Yes. Please contact us with all the information that could help us to verify the problem.
Can i use music/artwork stored here differently than with myDiscog flash players ?
Yes. Users you have access to their albums + content via one XSPF file. XSPF is XML, that means you can parse it like usual XML files. More infos in "My XSPF" menu once you're logged. See www.xspf.org for XSPF info and a list of compatible applications.

No. myDiscog does NOT share, license, sell or distribute any of your informations or content (emails, artwork, music...etc)
