How to get additional music information? - cw-kid - 2012-06-11

Hello

It looks like you can obtain additional music information, such as fanart for albums, reviews, anything else ? Artist information.
I take it, its not possible to show rear / back album covers ?

Should I enable "Download additional information during updates" ? In the Settings - Music Settings - Library

The default setting for album and artist information is AllAlbum, if I click on this and then click on the Get More button it lists more information providers, but I notice that it says Broken next to the default one AllAlbum.

Thanks

Install both the Universal Scrapers for albums and artists.
Change the default scrapers to these.
Try refreshing the album after that if you get more info

Thanks, I had a friend remote into my machine today, he installed the Universal and LastFM scrapers and also something called CDART to download images of CD discs. Its scanning / downloading for all artists at the moment, taking a long time but hopefully will work OK.
