Thanks Slarti' & Jim. Sure plonking an artist.jpg in the Artist folder

In the back of my mind I have a feeling that dropping an artist.jpg into
a regular Artist folder works in the same way as bio.html in the same
folder but I’m not certain.
That's correct: the lookup would check an album's folder and walk up the
folder hierarchy to check for artist pictures.
@johnd
What the above means is you just need to find an image for The Family -
name it artist.jpg and put it in your Artist folder for The Family and
do a rescan and it should be picked up.
This is a one off correction measure and you should not need to set a
folder inside the settings for MAI
In the back of my mind I have a feeling that dropping an artist.jpg into

Thanks so much Roland0 for lms_getalbums - pretty much exactly what I
needed. I have but one request (would have a go myself, but my Python
knowledge is VERY rudimentary - pretty much do everything I do with Bash

It really is a wonderfully fast way of obtaining the album list and for

The strange is that that this python script is using LMS to get the list
and the display of LMS is also from LMS. So the data is the same.

There's a setting to select whether to include Spotify, via the Spotty
plug-in, in the library scan. That led to my library having lots of
entries that were only in Spotify, and

Couple of quick suggestions:
This makes the :9000 optional so only needs to be included if using
non-standard port
and --singleartist to enable hiding of duplicate artist names which I
think makes it a bit easier to scan quickly by eye
near the top ...
