Artists are looked up automatically. If an image was not loaded, a matching artist was likely not found. If an image was not successfully found, that artist will be blacklisted from further download attempts. You can reset this by selecting MENU > Database.... > Reset Image Cache.
Ways of getting artist thumbnails:
Thumbnails were previously sourced from last.fm and provided good coverage for artists, but unfortunately they have chosen to deem it against their TOS and have stopped providing this service.
This is enabled by default, however doesn't a large range of images.
This is not enabled by default. You will need a discogs Personal access token from the discogs website, then enter this token into Tauon Music Box from clipbaord by going MENU > Settings > Accounts > Discogs > Paste token.
This provides a slightly wider range of artist images, but not as much as last.fm did.
You can manually place artist images in the user data older, inside a folder named artist-pictures. The name of the picture needs to match the artist name exactly, e.g. Coldplay.jpg, or The Killers.png.
You can locate the data folder by going MENU > Settings > Function > Open data folder
