Request for Google Music Artist Images

[CaiKroll]

I would love to have the ability to set my own image for my artists in Google Play Music. The ones that Google supplies are blurry & LQ. I can pay a little ($20) as an incentive for someone who can create an app or find a hack that will allow me to do this. Please respond to this thread.

I use Album Art Downloader from Play Store to find and set album arts. But you have to clear the app 's data anytime you use it so the new changes appear. Give it a shot and see if you like it.

Thanks for taking time to respond but I'm looking for ARTIST images. For example the artist Kerli, not the album Love is Dead.

ARTIST image

I too have been searching quite a bit for artist image editing in Google play Music...

Have checked many droid forums, scoured articles and FAQs, queried google's help database. There are quite a few other posts asking this question!

In pretty much every forum or database query, the first response given is advice on setting *album* art.

============
So far i have not found any sort of in-app way of doing this...

...which is, come on face it, is very important, NOT for the reason some may assume! Its not because I want/need my own choice of artwork necessarily, its because some of the artist images google puts in are INCORRECT or dubious. (and others while technically correct are poor "press" shots of the artist, for instance sitting with a pet cat... SNORE!!)

I would even be satisfied with simply turning off/on artist image so I don't have to keep seeing John Williams face as the label for my star wars collection, or some kind of spanish language tutorial for a french electronic band!

I can't believe there isn't a huge internet furor over this huge oversight!

I get that legal copyright licensing issues have to be considered. I would be happy to choose from a menu of legally approved images instead putting my copies of pictures in. (or just turn off the image)

But how is every user with a fair sized collection NOT NOTICING incorrect artist images??? I suppose a great many collectors are single-song and genre-mix types who don't necessarily browse their music by album or by artist, so i get that...

But still a HUGE number of people *do* browse by groups, artists often! And have tagged and cataloged libraries, its a hobby. Like when i collected CDs back in the day. And it is very frustrating to have all that nice organization ruined by a big fat wrong image not of your own choosing!!!

Those reading bear in mind we are talking specifically about GOOGLE PLAY MUSIC (mine is current and updated, august 2013 as of this writing)

by the way, this is whole issue is a first world issue.lol. We're complaining about an awesome free app. Other than this small cosmetic flaw, google music is quite very nice! Very slick looking on phone, fast and uncluttered interface... +1 for sure.
