Picture of artist

[a491765]

How are the images obtained?
Where on the UI should they be displayed?

Well I have two different ideas to implement that :

1/ The picture is display in the Library when selecting an artist
(I.E see screenshot) Here I select Lana Del Rey (but I don't select any album of her)
The artist picture is shown replacing the Moode cover and if I click on it I'm allowed to run the whole discography (like it does now).

2/ Maybe the current Library Tab can be replace by 2 different tab
Where the behavior could be like the Radios Tab when you create Folder.

1 for Genre with a grid displaying different genres
When you click on a genre you entered in a new page showing Album of this sorted Genre

1 for Artist with a grid displaying all artist picture.
Three dots are shown on each picture to give you the option of playing the hole discography (replacing queue, add... as today)
When you click on an artist a new page is open with all artist album...

Or They works like the album grid when you click on "show tracks"
But here you click on "show album" the page is divided in 2 and in the bottom part you have all album thumbnails of the artist selected with the playing option

3/ Now for the sources, maybe moode can scan and look for a document called "artist.jpg" in each root artist folder

Code:

Library Folder >
  Artist 1 Folder >
       Album 1 Folder>
           Track1.flac
           ...
       Album 2 Folder>
           Track1.flac
           ...
       Artist.jpg

Or in settings we can select a folder where picture are call by artist name I.E "Lana Del Rey.jpeg"

Code:

Library Folder>
  Artist 1 Folder >
      Album 1 Folder >
          Track 1.flac
Pictures Folder >
    Agnes Obel.jpg
    Lana Del Rey.jpg
    ...
