Artist image from Last.fm

Open randrej opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Since you're already getting the artist info and similar artists from last.fm, would it be possible to also get the artist image? Another provider would also be fine. In Sublime Music, the albums have proper covers, yet artists don't have a picture, which looks uneven.

The image is already used, but last.fm just provides the generic star image. It seems like they removed support for that. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55978243/last-fm-api-returns-same-white-star-image-for-all-artists

So this would need to use some other service as alternative.

Ah true, I misread this issue as getting the artist images from musicbrainz

Navidrome is using Spotify API for this now
