      Since all scaled CAA images are converted to JPEG, which doesn't support transparency, transparent PNGs can look pretty ugly.

      Example: https://musicbrainz.org/release/7c09bd96-1fa9-486b-bfaa-57e6b217715c/cover-art

      Maybe they should simply be rendered with a white or black background before converting to JPEG?
