The image shown in the SC user interface is configured in
"SqueezeCenter Settings"/"Custom Browse"/"Manage header/footer items".

By default if you have Custom Scan installed and have performed a
LastFM scanning, you will have a entry here that looks like this:
"artistheader/Artwork   (builtin)
(customscan_artistheaderlastfmimage)"

This entry will use the image urls retrieved from the LastFM scan but
in the SC user interface the image will be liked directly to the LastFM
web site. You can see this if you right click on the image in the SC web
interface and look at the image url, you should see an url pointing to
some site not to "http://localhost:9000/...";

If you create a new header item based on the header menu type "Artist
image", this will create a header item that links to the downloaded
images. This will show up in the "Manage header/footer items" menu like
this:
"artistheader/Artwork    (artistimage)"
Unless you also hide the above mentioned
"customscan_artistheaderlastfmimage" you are going to two images when
browsing to an artist in the Custom Browse menus.

Of course, for any of these images to be used at all in the SC web
interface, you will need to either use the Custom Browse menus and if
you like them to be shown when clicking on an artist in the current
playlist, you will have to use one of the "ClassicCB", "DefaultCB" or
"FishboneCB" skins.

MATTIAS/CLUB1820:
Are you just looking for a way to show artist images in the Custom
Browse menus or do you really want the actual image files ?

If you are just looking for the artist images in the Custom Browse
menus, the above mentioned "(customscan_artistheaderlastfmimage)"
header item should do the trick together with the *CB skins as a
temporary fix until I've solved this. The main reason the other
alternative to download the images exist is to improve performance and
make it possible to use user customized images, not just those
downloaded from LastFM.
