I'm using googlemusic.exp. AS does not download any fanart from fanart.tv
. Is this because the music from google does not have the Musicbrainz ID
The technical answer is, yes, you could get the MBID real time. The practical answer is, no, you can't. MBID returns very fuzzy results when you search on an artists name, so unless you have a way to have the user pick the correct artist, you have to brute force it by trying to them match on album or song name. AS used to do this, but it put such a heavy load on the MBID server that I dropped support for this. So for artists that aren't in your library with a MBID, you're stuck with just theaudiodb.com for images.
Ok I see - but maybe there is another way: the MBID is already included in "theaudiodbartistbio.nfo". If you could extract "strMusicBrainzID": "596ffa74-3d08-44ef-b113-765d43d12738" and copy it to the musicbrainz.nfo file there would be no traffic to MB-server at all. What do you think ?
