iTunes Artist Photos

[BerwynDad]

I recently upgraded to iTunes 12.7 and I was pleasantly surprised that many of my artists photos were no longer the default microphone. This has always been an irritation to me.

 

But several prominent artists were still left out. So I began scrubbing through my list trying to figure if there was any rhyme or reason behind the lack of a photo. As it turns out, iTunes is very very picky about the artist name..... For example changing "Traveling Wilburys" to "The Traveling Wilbuys" did the trick.

 

Here are some others that I found. I love the fact that you need a metal umlaut for Blue Öyster Cult....

 

Blue Oyster Cult > Blue Öyster Cult
Pink > P!NK
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds > Noel Gallagher
Traveling Wilburys > The Traveling Wilbuys
Florence & The Machine > Florance + The Machine

 

It still does not explain where there are no official photos for Adam Ant, Badfinger, Pavement, Sebadoh, Tears for Fears, Traffic, Bob Weir, Temple of the Dog, etc.

 

Really wish iTunes would fall back on album art.
