Artist Tile Images

Post by dtsig »

It is my guess that each artist will have a tile and that title should get an image from the internet (wikipedia?) if found. If this is the expectation then it doesn't work very well. Out of 67 artists i am only getting image on 6 tiles. I can understand on some tiles (artists) such Duke Ellington and Count Bassie .. but I have looked up many and there are images on wikipedia which should have been used.

If you don't double-click on the artist tile to bring up the artist view, it won't download them automatically, you have to right-click on it and go to Find Image at the top.

Check Options/Metadata lookup if you have checked lookup for missing artwork.

I am not sure I understand .. Music>Artist shows tiles with letters .. some of the tiles (6 or so) show pictures. I didn't dclick on those.

It was off so I have set it on .. after a couple of minutes it found 5 .. so i am right in thinking it should find the images similar to what you would find in wikipedia for the 'artist' ..

I can see where this would be a cool feature if it worked consistently .. but in my little db (67 some artists) it does not find the majority of images. I can see where there would be confusion in finding an image (there used to be a band call Lamb .. cute but not useful :) ) but again the majority are things like John Mayall or Eric Burdon etc .. shouldn't be a problem from Dicogs or wikipedia or ... It looks to me to be another refresh problem since it works with some.
