Hi Jared,

Thanks for the email.

Thanks for that feedback. I hadn't thought about existing collections all
that much. I don't think it would be too hard to add an option to do as you
suggest. I'll see what I can do.

I'm not sure when that might have changed in the Discogs results. There
used to be a big cover image and Tellico would fall back to the thumbnail
if that wasn't found. That's probably pretty old, and it changed, and I
didn't notice. So I just added a configurable image size to the results,
which defaults to the larger size. Thanks for pointing that out.
