I needed to find out for work what images sizes were provided by iTunes. The API only provides links to 30×30, 60×60, and 100×100 pixel images. However, you can run a string replace to get larger sizes by replacing the string 100x100 with one of the below sizes. For example:
http://a3.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/019/Music/a6/79/4c/mzi.qqbuvikd.100x100-75.jpg
becomes:
http://a3.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/019/Music/a6/79/4c/mzi.qqbuvikd.1200x1200-75.jpg
To see whether this could be considered reliable, I ran a series of tests to check what sizes were available across a range of albums. I checked in increments of 25, up to 2000.
It looks like the following sizes can be used:
| 100 |
| 150 |
| 200 |
| 225 |
| 400 |
| 450 |
| 600 |
| 1200 |
If you want the code to try this on your own:
Hi There i’m currently building an app for my radio and im struggling getting a proper size for artworks.
