I just double checked the code, and I don't see anyway you'll get it without that ID. But you will still get stuff from TheAudioDB if you have that on. In MusicBrainz Picard the entry is "MusicBrainz Artist ID" and that's what the Kodi music scraper looks for. It's possible the scraper will add that data when adding music (at least when it can), so that might be why you are seeing more images even though you didn't specifically add it.
"In order to download images from fanart.tv, AS must have the MusicBrainz ID for the playing artist. The easiest way to get that information is to tag your music using MusicBrainz Picard. Once you have done that rescan your music library to import the new information into Kodi."
An earlier reply in this thread (I believe) states you implemented a workaround so this was no longer necessary (I don't have MusicBrainz ID tagged in my songs and I download fanart just fine).
I wonder though if there are certain artists that might be missed without a MusicBrainz ID? Also, is the tag (MUSICBRAINZ_ARTISTID?)
Thx
