So, bands change a lot...Like Van Halen... three different frontmen... I'd like the fanart to change with the album that is playing. Any suggestions?
Version 9 downloads 3 fanart files, I do not like fan art myself so usually have it off, but chances are it might be switchable between each one by the program. I can only assume that it does that due to thinking why would it download 3 for.
Barry will be able to say more regarding this, either that or someone that uses fan art a lot, but you will have to wait for a few hours yet to get a reply as it is 4am here now in the UK.

It does pick random ones from the images in the folder. There isn't currently a way to have these tied to the album however I could look for one with the album name then if that isn't found pick a random one.
So I finally upgraded to version 9 and I don't know how to get fanart to work. I read that it's automatic now, but not for me apparently lol. The logos and Bios download, but that's it. Do I need to make a folder for each artist in order for the artwork to populate? I'm so confused :o
All what you need is thus
1) Run config 9 as administrator
2) Switch to advance mode
3) Click on edit tools
4) Click on Grab AudioDB info
This should work

I have just grabbed files but for some reason they are not showing, e.g they should show a preview, or at least when you load into photo viewer they should load, but for some reason they are not.
I dare say BUG BUG BUG either that or something wrong with audiodb
I'll double check tonight, I may not have been signed in as administrator.
If you have the files you will need to set the transparency settings for them to show up.
Hi there,
All my fanart is there as it should, says they are JPEG but I cannot view them in Windows viewer thus they will not display on the artists page - any ideas all config and program are running as administrator
Cheers Fatfoot

Sounds like they are corrupt files.

Is it possible they may need to be labelled as jpg and not jpeg. You can always fix file association so that windows knows to use Windows Viewer fro jpeg's but I'd test the files first.

Nah they are already jpg files. I just changed one to jpeg but they are just corrupt files.
Which is odd because i downloaded them and they were fine. It seems they work sometime and not others maybe? How are you downloading them? Using the button or during the generate process.
I have done both, I have got some images that are ok but the majority are broken
