From MusicBrainz, the open music encyclopedia, with covers from the Cover Art Archive. Searching needs no account and no permission.

Try a shorter search with the album’s title and the artist. MusicBrainz is a free, community-run service and sometimes answers slowly; TrackPrint keeps trying for a few seconds, and trying again a moment later usually works.

Print is 15 × 20 cm and Poster 20 × 30 cm, both at 300 ppi, the resolution print shops ask for. Post and Story are sized for screens. Export as PDF or PNG for the sharpest print, and check a test print first: colours on paper never quite match a screen.

Through your own iCloud account. Sign in with the same Apple Account on each device and leave iCloud Sync on in TrackPrint’s Settings. Turned off, your posters stay on the device you made them on. We never see your posters.

A poster for your own wall or as a gift is fine, and so is having it printed on paper at a print shop. Posting a poster with a real album cover online, or selling it, needs the permission of the rights holders: the label, the artist and the photographer. The Post and Story sizes don’t give that permission. See section 4 of the terms of use.

Because a poster carries other people’s work. The terms of use say what’s fine, like a poster for your wall or a gift, and what needs permission. You agree once, and can read them again in Settings ▸ About.

To show what the Music app is playing, and to play, pause and skip. On iPhone and iPad it asks for your Media Library; on the Mac, to control Music, and to use Apple Music once you open an album. What you play stays on your device: when you open the album playing, TrackPrint asks Apple Music for its tracks, and nothing else leaves. It never stores what you listen to or turns it into a poster. Settings ▸ Apple Music shows each permission.

On the Mac, in the Window menu: Show Mini Player (⇧⌘M) and Show Notch Player (⇧⌘N), or the buttons in Now Playing’s toolbar. Right-click the mini player to change its size and style, or to keep it on top. The notch player opens when you rest the pointer on the notch; on a screen without one it’s a small pill in the middle of the menu bar.

On iPhone, with Live under any player, or in Settings ▸ Apple Music ▸ Live Activity.

Nothing for analytics, ads or tracking, and there is no account. Searches go straight to MusicBrainz, and your posters stay on your devices and in your iCloud. The privacy policy has the details.
