Is there a special way to add album art for various artists?
I have a few covers which aren't listed, and when I go to add the CD using the ID from MusicBrainz I get an "Please add the artist before adding albums for that artist" error.
I can't find any FAQs on the subject, any ideas?

Re: Various Artists
I had fun trying to add things when I first started and it was all down to getting the right ID.
Have you got an example and the ID you are trying to use

Hi,
For starters the albums Tomb Raider and Little Nicky.
I've just tried a few IDs for Tomb Raider but couldn't get any of them to work. Its not the end of the world if I can't get them on. Example ID for Tomb Raider is 1690239f-0d0d-41aa-bb78-bb277870e379
Thanks again.

Actually just got it working. When you goto an album it mentioned there being X many releases for this album. Clicking on that got me an ID which has worked.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

Re: Various Artists
Right, you've got to use the release group ID, not the release ID.

Correct. Use the release group ID, not the release ID.
