Well that sounds doable, actually :) See for instance: http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/artist/Metallica/similar.xml There's a picture attribute there pointing to the artist's picture. These services are usable for non-commercial purpose only. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/uk/ So I don't think we can use those from the "basic" Elisa package. However it would totally be possible to do an "extra" Elisa plugin using these webservices. See https://code.fluendo.com/elisa/trac/ticket/398 Philippe
