Title: Artist art
Post by: MrHaugen on March 28, 2007, 04:55:38 pm

Hi

Is there ANY possibility of getting the option of Artist art/cover in addition to todays album art?
It would be so cool to browse by pictures of the artists instead of a random cover by that artist.
Navigation would also be alot smoother. At least in my mind.

Know I have seen this discussion before, but could not find it again.
Is it that much trouble to implement? What's your thoughts?

I have asked for this many times before. The same for Genre Art. Even if MC12 won't support a specific Genre/Artist, it would be nice if I could at least select a specific album art of a artist/genre to be shown for that artist/genre. That way if I have a album cover art with Eric Clapton's face on it, I can select that album cover art as the cover art for Eric Clapton.

walmart.com music site has high quality (500x500) album cover art if they sell the music you listen.

Obviously there are more than me that would see this implemented.
So, what's J River's opinion about Artist art?

It's a good idea.  We get so many good ideas from our users.  To be honest, we're thinking about turning over design control to the forum so we can just concentrate on execution of these ideas. 

It would save a lot of time explaining why we hadn't added things like support for google's new plumbing-based home network infrastructure (http://www.google.com/tisp/press.html).  Maybe the noise in my head (http://pix01.com/gallery/8D12431D-7EA0-495D-9EA2-775091458CB9/Noise_in_My_Head/bigslide0.html) would go away.

TISP installation tip: Route cable under seat to avoid butt impressions by fibre optic cable. :)
