Okay here are two examples…pretty sure you know of these since I can’t be the first and only person with this issue.
I picked two artists from the 20 or so with the same issue. Neither artist has an image in the Tidal artist page, when I select each one I get different options although both seemingly have metadata or at least enough info to show the genre and writeup.
This artist allows me to edit the pic and info.
After I edit the image shows here
But still no image on the artist page
Another artist does not allow any editing
My issues are:
- Not being able to edit any/all images and data for any/all artists
- The images not coming through to the Favorite Artists screen
Note, in Tidal each artists has an image* Although not the curated style image Roon shows.
BTW, Since Roon wants to always show artsy curated images for Artists the same problem persists for the artists in my library.
Suggestion; Allow Roon to query Bing image database for these artists in the background if no image is available. Your drop down can allow users to select the image of their choice from this query. Bing has tons of similarly artsy head shots like Roon to choose from. At least users will have images instead of the “Grey Hash” on their screen. Also if you want to get slick you can have Roon query the user selected images and send the data back to your database. This will save you guys the trouble of having to come up with head shots for the millions of artists around the world.
What you currently have does not work, as evidenced by the photos above and is really not acceptable to have a finished consumer product to be so incomplete. The “Grey Hash” looks awful…
