[Bug 1487916] Re: local music scope often shows incorrect artist image

 

The scope works as well as it can with the information it picks up from
the image tags. Note that setting both artist *and* album in the ID3
tags *may* improve accuracy, depending on how 7digital disambiguates the
query behind the scenes.

In recent testing, we have not noticed any obvious problems with artist
art, so I'm closing this for now.

Feel free to re-open if you see this again. But, in that case, we need
detailed information, in particular, the *exact* values of the album and
artist tags in the affected files. (Best to attach the files rather than
transcribing the information. That way, we can analyse the entire set of
ID3 tags to figure out what might be happening.)

Title:
  local music scope often shows incorrect artist image

Status in unity-scope-mediascanner package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The local music scope sometimes¹ displays incorrect images for the
  artist.

  This probably happens because there are multiple bands with the same
  (or similar?) names, and there seems to be no check for that, e.g.
  based on album titles etc.

  ¹ I first used "often" here, but I guess that really depends on your
  musical tastes...  :)
