Artist is different than the fan art shows?!

Check this out:

The artist is the Beatles and for fan art it pulled down Metallica. I have verified the tags, they're correct for the Beatles. Is this a case of needed to specify customer fan art? If so, would this be the correct link for how to do it?

That's actually "BEATALLICA", a mash up band. It looks like the Artist Info Scraper made a bad choice. If you have a "The Beatles" folder, you can put a folder.jpg and fanart.jpg image there to be the artist image and backdrop. But I'm not sure it will auto update.

Yes, but what's important is this tiny little section

Custom artist images are very particular. They only work if you have a filesystem structure of /root/artist where all songs from albums also tagged with that artist as the primary (or album artist) are downstream of /root/artist
