Encouraged by your replies, I decided to write a slightly bigger tool for downloading and browsing artist images..
So with much help from q-stankovic here comes
lastFmArtist
Introduction
This helps to download and manage artist images.
How to Use
1.How to call from commandline.
lastFmArtist.exe /artist <can be many artists, separated with space,best surrounded with "> /path <path> /num <number of images one page have>
Example:
lastFmArtist.exe /artist "paramore" "taylor swift" /num 10 /path d:\dd
2.Search
Type in artist name in the textbox, set the number of images on the right, and click Search button.
3.Display Mode
1)All Images: Display local and remote images of the artists, local images are displayed based on this artist's path setting.(Default library path)
2)Local: Only display local images in one page.
4.Library
I recommend to put all images in one directory, the library directory.
You can check all artists' images by clicking "Display All Artists" which will search through your library directory for different artists based on the filenames, then display them grouped by artist name in different tabs.
.!:Will consume a lot of resources if your collection is HUGE.
You can specify your library path by clicking "Load Library".
5.Summary
This will display artist summary when enabled.Double click the textbox to change font.
6.Other
Double click on tab to close that tab.
Left click on downloaded image to open it with default image viewer.
Right click on downloaded image to locate this image.
Pausing your mouse over some control can give you tool tip.
Right click on "Download Status" to view about and help window.
