Displaying pictures of artists?

[mdp]

Hi there,

I would be very pleased with images in artists browsing. Using Linn Kazoo app, Asset mediaserver running on windows computer gives artists folders filled with images coming from albumart of the album folders unterneith. (In my database the structure is: Folder [artists]/Folder [Year]-[Album]) Media server Synology and Minimserver gives just empty Artists (just folder Thumbnail).

When looking at the music with eLyric app, the Synology Mediaserver and Minimserver content are displayed the same as Asset Mediaserver. So also the way the app handles the content makes a difference. There is something in the Minim- and Synologyserver data that eLyric can read and Kazoo can't.

So my suggestion is to make a start in wich artwork direct in the artist folder is shown. So new database "starters" can put artist art in the artist folder from scratch.
Then make it possisible to extract artist art from sub folders with selection options: first, Newst or highest quality. When in the future online lookups come availible like the way Kazoo get data from Last.fm, this search link can added as an option in artistsSort.

I shall post some printscreens of the difference between the way eLyric and Kazoo app handles the same source Server.

Yours mdp
