Artist's Image in Artists View

(1/8) > >>

ASenna1:
I am totally baffled on how to display an artist's image in Artists view and the individual album covers for that artist in Albums view.

ferday:
where you've told JRiver to store cover art (default C:/users/username/appdata/roaming/JRiver/Media Center 21/Cover Art)

make a folder called:

Artists

inside that folder, paste an image with the exact artist name as it is inside MC

so, for Nirvana, you'd have c:/cover art folder/artists/Nirvana.jpg

now, it should work.  i hope i'm not missing a step..

tls62dk:
Or, right click an Artist in Artist view and select "Get Artist Images From Last.fm..." under the Cover Art menu.

ASenna1:
I understand the artist download method and I have the correct folders in place with artist artwork .jpgs named exactly like the artist's tag name.

What I think happens is if the album art is embedded in the file itself, in my case a .flac file,  then MC does not know where to find the artist's image. Is this possible?

blgentry:
FLAC files can hold Album art, for sure.  But not Artist art.  Artist art is a JRiver MC concept.  You might not have your Artists folder in the right place.  Check:

Tools > Options > File Location > Cover Art > Folder

Artists (plural) should be a subdirectory of the folder listed above.  Have you tried downloading images from LastFM via the context menu?  (Cover Art > Get Artist images from Lastfm)  That should automatically create the files in the proper location.  Though there was a bug with that in slightly older versions:  The JPG files were getting created with random extensions.  Like "Jethro Tull.A3G" or "Pink Floyd.4U6".  That bug was fixed something like 2 or 3 months ago.

Brian.
