You can manually browse for one though with the right-click menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure if this is actually working as intended Jason. As you can see in this image i am missing artist images for 2Pac and Adele, both pretty well known artists i think you will agree. If i go to fanart.tv and search those artists there is a lot of available images, including artist thumbs and artist backgrounds. https://fanart.tv/artist/cc2c9c3c-b7bc-4b8b-84d8-4fbd8779e493/adele/ https://fanart.tv/artist/382f1005-e9ab-4684-afd4-0bdae4ee37f2/2pac/ So if the scraper is using the artist name which i assume it is then it should of found both 2Pac and Adele unless it has to do with upper case letters, the artist names on fanart.tv all seem to be in lower case in the URL when searched as you can see while my artist names in Musicbox start with a upper case as they should, could that be a issue at all?

Jason Carr Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I see. I'll take a look. Can you get the image to download if you right-click and select Download New Image? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely there's something going wrong with the artist identification. In some cases, there are multiple artists and the wrong artist is getting picked, or something of that nature. Eventually I need to build in a way to select a specific artist from the list, which is probably the only way we'll be able to fix it.

Kraken Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I am having the same issue, people like Ed Sheeran, John Mayer, Lorde, Paramore, Pendulum, Sia, Sigala etc etc all big artists, and no artwork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmoney Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I am having the same issue as well with different well known artist. There are pics of the artist on fanart tv and I have the files named correctly but MusicBox is not downloading artist pics for certain artist.

Jason Carr Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Yeah, I am aware of this. It's on my shortlist. We're going to need the ability to select an artist from the MusicBrainz list before that problem will completely go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 In the mean time it's easy to just download an image and right-click Browse for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NooNaN Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 This is still an issue for me. Just moved the install to a new computer and MBA isn't picking up the most simple, popular artist names for an image. It's been quite a while without a follow-up on this thread...has there been progress or a a solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
