Images shown by TheaterView
« on: December 26, 2017, 02:39:40 am »

TheaterView very nicely downloads and displays appropriate images when playing tracks. It seems to look up the track title, the album name and the artist. This works well for contemporary music. But in case of classical, the artist (the orchestra, soloist, or conductor) is usually less interesting than the composer. So is there a way to prioritize the composer more on the image search on classical music?

Just a little anecdote related to this feature.

I created a "Christmas playlist" of around 10 albums to play in the background whilst the festivities were being celebrated.

JRiver played the list faultlessly from start to finish, entertaining with great old pictures of Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Sammy Davis Junior etc

Then it came to a track called "It'll be lonely this Christmas" by Mud, a UK glam rock band from the 70s. The pictures shown were just brilliant and had us all giggling!

Seasons greeting everyone  ;D
