[QUOTE="Shangostar, post: 671608, member: 100687"] I have found out in another thread that MP cannot do what I was asking but what I meant was if it would use images for artist and artist fanart that were found in the music folder during a scan in a similar way that moving pictures does with dvd cover art and backdrops, if moving pictures finds images folder.jpg and backdrop.jpg within the movie folder it will use those images instead of retrieving them online. So if the music scan was to look for eg artist.jpg and fanart.jpg it could give priority to those images. for album art it would just do the same as it does now, not sure it it uses album art in the tag or uses folder.jpg? This way you have easier control over what images are used and it wouldn't then need to look online for the images saving time on a scan. You would of course have to put all the images within the folders but you know the images used will be ones you have chosen and they will always be there should you ever need to rescan on a fresh install. Reading this back im not sure ive done a better job of explaining tbh but hope you get my drift. [/QUOTE]
