Description
Some artists have incorrect images associated with their page in the library.
Band - Throats
MB link - https://cdn-images.dzcdn.net/images/artist/625a8eda3cc135ced8de2b21368350be/500x500-000000-80-0-0.jpg
Aurral pulls this image from Deezer for them

I think is due to Throats' discography not being available on Deezer and so a closest match is being pulled?
Band - Amber
MB link - https://musicbrainz.org/artist/6daf357f-6044-46ce-bcf3-d03b52419d9a

In this instance there is an artist called Amber but it is different artist entirely.
This occurs with multiple other artists as you might expect (Amygdala, Celeste etc)
Falling back to Last.fm wouldn't work as it doesn't separate out these artists like Musicbrainz does, but is it possible for Aurral to differentiate artists with the same name? This would be useful not only for applying the right images to artists but also for accurate recommendations/playlists.
In the case of Celeste I like both the R&B vocalist and the French black metal band but they're radically different in terms of recommendations. Perhaps by cross-referencing releases?
Totally understand that's very big complex wish, so as smaller ask could we have the option to manually set artist images/pull them from other sources like? Possibly links from their Musicbrainz pages like Bandcamp, Facebook, Instagram?
