How to Upload your Covers




I have made this thread after the constant requests we get How do I upload my covers.........

After uploading , your covers do not directly appear on the main site, instead they are in a list of covers awaiting approval and this may take between 1 to 3 days depending on the amount of covers and the number of approvers online ( This is a free site and members give up their free time to help out here )

Before you start it helps if you are a registered member of the Forums,(How to Register here) by doing this each upload you make , gives you the chance of winning a Prize in our Monthly competitions.

Each part is counted separately,So if you upload the movie Iceage 3 - Cover + dvd that counts as 2

If you uploaded a Music cd Now 74 Front + back + Disc 1 + disc 2 That would count as 4 .

Covers can be rejected for many reasons
Covers tagged with a designer logo
Bad cropping
Bad quality
Image size to small

For a more in depth look at this please refer to this page by Bluetac

Naming your Covers

When you name your covers, please use English - This saves time having to rename covers
When uploading Music covers please use an - between the album and artist name example Madonna - True Blue , and for Compilation cds please put Various for the artists. Example Now 74 - Various
Also in the naming do not use the / Character as this causes the covers to not show up in the approve panel.

Getting Started

Go to the main site www.cdcovers.cc and Click on the Upload Button I have circled red.
