OK I'm stupid. I want to try this feature. As test I selected one mp3 and then got Artist Image from Last.fm. Now how do I see the Artist image in a standard view?

Example can be found in first post of the thread.
"Currently artist images are used in Standard View when displaying artist thumbnails.  They will be used in Theater View, Gizmo, etc. at a later date."

Thanks, I deleted all standard views years ago and have never used "View as Category" so it took me a while to figure it out.

Hey all,

Love the possibilities with the Artist Images!  Thanks guys!  Is it (or will it be) possible to simply use them for Track Info plug-ins in this manner:

Use "cover art"; if not available, use "artist image"; if not available use the "logo.png" from the following folder:

C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 16\Data\Default Art

that I have replaced with a renamed .jpg of my pet parrot (instead of the default MC logo)?

Thanks!
BC

Is it possible to remove the white border around each image?

Something i noticed. Not a big deal.

I don't use a leading "the" for any of my artists names.
This isn't a problem for most most it was for some.
I believe that for Tea Party, Unwinding Hours, White Stripes, Tragically Hip,
Ting Tings, New Regime, Mars Volta, and Chemical Brothers
no artist images were found.
There are probably 40 artists where it was found after the "the" was removed.

I and many others use a custom list field called “Artists” to view multiple artists, separated by a semicolon, individually.
It would be great if the artists images worked with this field.
It is important to note that “Artists” is not just “Artist” turned into a list. I use "Artists" to combine 4 fields.
Please consider.

I really like this feature. Almost all the exellent ideas for improvement have benn suggested by the veterans here, I think almost every one of them are good suggestions. I have a tiny tiny suggestion of not huge significance. Is it possible to show the edges of covers behind the artist image, or something similar too indicate that you have several albums of that artist? (more or less like when you see the edges of  many covers when you have several albums, but no artist image)
