Description

Some artists thumbnails show up like black boxes with just the name of the artist.

users comments:
* have boxee to use album thumbnail or folder.jpg or artist.jpg
* I suggest that if the scrapping algorithm cannot select the right artwork for the artist thumbnail, then you should at least be able to select one of the albums artwork as the artist thumbnail (similar to what iTunes does)
