    Issue
    Normally the Nowplaying screen shows in turns: the viz, album thumb, artist thumb
    This used to work once

    a) Now it doesn´t work for songs which have an artist thumb but no album thumb.

    b)With preparing this bug report I noticed, that the artist thumb is also only shown on the first song in a row of the same artist, even if an album thumb is available. On the second song by the same artist.

    To reproduce:

    for a)
    go to music
    select song with artist thumb but no album thumb
    --> in my log this is the case for "Gloria Gaynor" and "Fiction Factory"
    press "p" respetively change to nowplaying

    for b)
    go to music
    select song with artist thumb and album thumb
    --> in my log this is the case for "Foreigner" and "Flash and the Pan"
    press "p" respetively change to nowplaying
    artist thumb wil show on first song
    press "b" for stop
    select another song of th same or different album
    --> no artist thumb

    note that my playlist always had only the one song I chose
    and that I stopped the song manually after a time where the artist thumb would have shown up.


    Basics
    #svn from today 14001
    #reported the issue on irc already 2 month ago, so it is not related to latest changes
    #also tested with other skin mepo green, pm3
    #confirmed on second pc
    # error log in pastebin link

    config
    # mp in fullscreen
    # bass engine
    # soniqe visualization
    # srobble enabled

    note:
    all my thumbs are stored in the thumbs directory of mp
    I have refetched all thumbs with the small and big thumb organisation
    I have no thumbs or .jpgs in any folder where my music is stored

    I´d be happy if somone could confim/reproduce the problem or find something in the log
    because last time I talked to rtv, it was not reproducable on his system.

    Edit: When playing the second or third Foreigner song as first song in a row, the artist thumb shows.
