Would it be possible to show One of the Album Pictures if An Artist does not have default picture?
For example:
I have 5 Albums from Anglagard that have picture, and one of the Album, Hybris is even identified by roon. However the artist page does not have any pictures in it. Is it possible to have it auto populated from one of the Album?
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. I have just so many blank areas where artist pictures should be, very un Roon like you could say. I love this idea, good stuff.
If you only have a few of the artists with no picture this should be ok. But for me, unfortunately there are quite a number of them that don’t have pictures and this way is tedious.
Hi,
Yes, I did move the topic to the Feature Requests as I know the Roon team do read them all … though they rarely comment as typically they don’t like to rule out suggestions but on the other hand unless a feature is actively being developed and release is imminent they also tend not to comment and they don’t wish to build up expectations.
That said I’m happy to I’ll leave a tag for @Brian to invite him to comment …
I agree, the proliferation of gray boxes is not ideal.
The real solution is to crowd-source that data so that we don’t display nearly as many gray boxes, since people will fill them in. This is in our roadmap.
There are some product issues with just dropping album art into that slot–in a few parts of the design, artists and albums have very similar treatment, and putting pictures of album covers could cause some confusion about exactly what you’re looking at/clicking on.
We will keep that idea in mind for future design iterations in case it makes sense in the future, but I’m hoping that crowd-sourcing the artist data works out to be a much more complete solution so it won’t be necessary.
