If whatever is being used to choose artist artwork fails to find an artist, picks the wrong one, or you do not like what was chosen… how do you edit?
Search brings up a lot. None of it is easy and/or working (for me).

if you add your personal Artist images to:
/data/albumart/personal/artist/<artist-name>/Artists.jpg it’s for sure working, so I am not inline with the remark it doesn’t work.
If you add files to this folder you need to:
That it’s not easy i can agree upon.
I’ve mentioned this to the dev’s a week ago and they are looking into it. No ETA yet.

Thanks Wheaton
Though, i’m not entirely sure how to access that on a headless PC (not a Pi) hehe. I’ll have to figure it out.
I have to admit its kind of shocking that you cannot just add a folder.jpg in the artists folder, or even artistsname.jpg, after all these years. 
Cheers 
Well if you start naming them as <Artist-Name>, then the lookup will be expensive, Need to get the <folder-name>, you image must have the exact same name. If you have other image files, like booklet, front, cover,… it’s becoming a big load on the rPi. So this was carefully considered.
Just ssh into the rPi:
https://developers.volumio.com/SSH%20Connection
- Copy the content from
/data/albumart/webto your PC. - Remove all json files in these folders and place you Artists.jpg to the folders.
- When finished upload them to:
/data/albumart/personal/artist
Yes a hideous task, I know. But this is the best till Volumio gets a better discovery.
At this moment I have uploaded 1295 Artist this way.

Thanks again
Why not have the option in the UI to change the artist art? It would seem that Volumio could create the .json and handle the upload to /data/albumart/personal instead of the user having to SSH to the machine to do it?
If you want Volumio to be “for the masses”, things like this really should be in place. The majority of users aren’t going to ssh and/or scp.

I have always organized my collection like this:
-
Artist folder: a folder named as the artist name. Inside it I put a square-shaped photo of the artist found on the web and named it ‘folder.jpg’
-
Albums folder: Inside the folder with the artist’s name, I create as many folders as there are albums, and inside each album, I upload the cover, always named ‘folder.jpg’.
And this is what I see on the interface:
Artist level:
Album level:
I’m not sure if this is the most efficient method, but I’ve always organized my digital collections this way, even before discovering Volumio.
To do all of this, an SSH connection is necessary. However, it would be very convenient to have an option to upload (and rename or delete) the images directly from the interface, as @Meerlu and @KHatfull have already suggested.
