Feature description:

I don’t know whether you have already installed this function or whether I have configured Symfonium incorrectly?! It would be nice if the media provider for the Google Cloud takes artist images from the folder.jpg files into account.
I have e.g. the following folder structure:

\Artist1
__folder.jpg = Artistpicture
__\Album1
____folder.jpg = Cover 1
____1.1 track
____1.2 track
____1.3 track
__\Album2
____folder.jpg = Cover 2
____1.1 track
____1.2 track
____1.3 track
\Artist2
__folder.jpg =Artist 2 Picture

and so forth :slight_smile:

The album covers are included in the tags of my tracks

Problem solved:

Missing Artistimages

Brought benefits:

More convenience and a clearer UI

Sorry no plans for that as it does not support multiple artists, track artists and composers.

Unfortunately there’s no easy way to address this.

No problem. I will find another solution for myself. Maybe I’ll add an artist picture in the tags. A bit inconvenient and redundant with over 50,000 tracks, but doable.

4

I do not support that yet too, is there an official common way for that ?

5

I use the Windows version of foobar2000 for tagging. But I can send you a tagged example file.

6

Yes to see if I can support that, thanks.

Hey, sorry to intrude but I have interest in this topic.

Id3 pictures have a picture type field, and there’s one called Lead Artist.

I uploaded a track with an artist picture, description: Artist picture tag sample.

And here’s the list of supported picture types:

If this is implemented I would think you don’t need to add the artist picture to all tracks of the artist, I would think that as long as you add it to one Symfonium will pick it up.

Well this still does not really work for multiple artists :frowning:

I uploaded a few short examples with the corresponding TAGS. They are tagged with the CDCOVER and an ARTIST image.

So no real way to know what the image refers too, artist, album artist, first one if there’s many :frowning:

You are right, there’s no official way to associate a picture with an existing artist.

Not sure if you are open to non standard solution, but I would like to suggest the following:

All pictures have a description field, we could use that field to specify the name of the artist.

This is of course a non-standard solution, but every audio player uses its own solution. Another far worse option would be to use a GIF, but even then you don’t have an assignment as to which artist is meant. Personally, I think a non-standard solution is better than no solution ;).
