[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1258647, member: 109222"] Hi. Generally all music must be tagged properly. Those tagged metadata is preferred over online data regardless if you allow online grabbing or not. Sadly there is no way to tag artist fanart and metadata into audio files. But you nevertheless can use local artwork and metadata for artist. For this you need to use "Artist Folder" where you store all Albums (in separate sub- folders) in. Then you can use Artist Fanart and metadata in there. Artist background must be named. "fanart.jpg", banner should be "banner.jpg", (square) poster should be named "folder.jpg" and you also can add a "logo.png". Metadata must be stored in an artist.nfo file. All nearly the same as for movies or series. Such an artist folder should look similar to this: [ATTACH=full]201382[/ATTACH] Right now there is no nice tool to generate all those offline files comfortable afaik. The upcoming Media-Buddy final will be able to grab fanart and metadata for music- artists too. Aside this not ready solution the only program I'm aware of being able to generate local fanart and metadata for music- artist is Kodi 18. Media-Buddy 1.0 will be compatible with Kodi and MP on this. But it most likely will be late summer until V1.0 can be released, I fear. I've attached the artist.nfo file to have a look inside. It's a XML file (with German metadata) and can be shown/edited with every text editor (notepad and similar)... [/QUOTE]
