MusicInfo Handler is a plugin that will attempt to download music related data based on your music collection. This requires your collection to be tagged correctly and scanned into the database.
Artist Thumbs
Plugin will attempt to download missing artist thumbs from fanart.tv (and if none available there from theaudiodb.com)
Artist Fanart
Plugin will attempt to download three fanart images for each artist from fanart.tv (and theaudiodb.com if necessary).
This is downloaded to
C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Thumbs\Skin FanArt\UserDef\music
So it will not overwrite existing fanart scraped by fanart handler which is stored in the scraper folder. Fanart Handler is still required to make images display in MP and if you want to avoid duplicates I suggest you delete the previously scraped fanart
Artist Clear Logo
Plugin will attempt to download artist clear logos from fanart.tv to
C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Thumbs\Music\ClearArt
You need a skin that is capable of displaying this info
Artist Bio
You now have the choice to download artist bios from either allmusic.com or theaudiodb.com which has (limited) multi-language support
Album Thumbs
Plugin will download album covers from fanart.tv (generally really good quality 1000x1000 images)
CD Art
Plugin will download CD Art to
C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Thumbs\Music\cdArt
You need a skin that is capable of showing these images
Album Review
You now have the choice to download album reviews from either allmusic.com or theaudiodb.com which has (limited) multi-language support
