Out of curiosity I am having a look at MM5. I have a lot of other music players running.
Is there a possibility to point MM to a directory with artist pics?
Other programmes have already downloaded them and I don't feel like downloading them again.

Hi,
this depends which other programmes do you mean and what is the format.
If the format is the same then you can just copy the images to the MediaMonkey's ArtistImages folder.
the format is like .../ArtistImages/g/garbage.jpg for the artist Garbage

Thanks for your speedy reply.
But I don't wish to duplicate the files I have.
I have a network folder with artist pics. I can point both Musicbee and Logitech Media Server to using this particular folder and I intended to do the same with Media Monkey. Is this possible?

I'd actually like to expand on this. I'd like to see that if you use an Artist folder setup (ie. something like Album Artist\Album\files that you could have the Artist Artworks stored in the Album Artist folder.

Right now, these pics are all in X:\Artist Pictures\Thumb\ whereas my music files are all in X:\Music. Naming is by Artist (garbage.jpg(.

Added as feature request to Mantis:

Workround for now is to copy the images manually.
