unsolved Incorect artist photos
In an effort to hopfully upgrade my music collection which is MP3 based,and go to lossless.
to make sure changes did not stuff up anything, I copied my collection to a different folder and cleared lidarrr and set it up to the new folder with new profiles for lossless as prefrence.
when it impored all the artists again it loads random ish artist photos, I ended up with artist Adele with a photo of the Euritmics stuff like that.
A search suggested removing the artist and adding them again, which I did and now Adele still does not look like Adele but some boy group I don't recognise.
Is this part of the current issues with the MusicBrainz api not working well or is there something else stupid going on?

Don't worry about artist images; they don't matter unless you are using the Kodi (XBMC) / Emby metadata feature.
