[QUOTE="dcwp, post: 388533, member: 25562"] I'm not sure I get exactly what you're doing, but I think there is an easier way. First, it looks like when you chose 'create artist preview thumbs' you must have done that in the music scan part of MPconfig? You'll notice that the dialogue says "Use existing album art to..." then if you select 'create artist preview thumbs' you have told it to make artist art the same as album art. If you want to have MediaPortal automatically download all your artist images and link them to the appropriate files, you will want to use the albumart grabber that is included in the Last.fm and AudioScrobbler plugin set. Enable both of those plugins, then go to the configuration for the one that is listed as a process plugin (I think it's the audioscrobbler one). You will find a tab for downloading albumart. It does take a little while to do all the downloading, but it is fully automated. As long as your files are tagged correctly, you'll get what you need. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
