Graphic equalizer & artists list on App.

in Astiga app
Chat GPT (not the most reliable source of information on the planet) tells me that there is a graphic equaliser on the app. I cannot find it. Where is it ? Or has it been removed?
One more Q... (Sorry to be a pain... but moving from a one-off payment with Cloud Player to an annual subscription with Astiga merits a bit of road testing)... In the app in the artist listing no art is shown, just a pair of semiquavers. Is that intentional? If I select an artist all the individual album art appears, exactly as expected.
Finally, finally, one last thing for me to try out before I subscribe ... uploading a new artist/album.
I am really impressed a) with the App and b) with the support provided to all my daft questions!!

The equalizer is on the now-playing screen, where cover art shows at the top half of the screen and the thumbs up/down etc buttons below it.
Click the vertical ellipsis at the top-right and you'll see the option.
Artist art can be populated but it's a bit of a faff right now. @Cambionn wrote a guide using empty music files in an artist folder, but I can't find it right now - @Cambionn can you find the thread?
Adding music should be easy - just upload to your cloud storage then re-sync.
I think you mean this threat.
It wasn't a guide, but more of a feature request where using empty MP3 files was the ugly workaround. It also only works in file browser menu's, not on anything based on metadata tags like artist pages.
Ah, yes, thanks for that. Better support for artist images required then: https://community.asti.ga/discussion/110/adding-your-own-artist-images
Artist art. Yes it does look like a bit of a faff!! Cloudplayer is also a bit messy (some images are picked up from "somewhere" and show, some don't). Not overly concerned.
I have a new album to upload... and am currently waiting for tomorrow evening when I can re-sync.
Regarding the equaliser. Sometimes I see it... sometimes I don't. If I'm casting to an audio system, it vanishes... and doesn't seem to do much/anything when it is there. It seems to be there consistently (and work) when using Bluetooth to 'phones, but not extensively checked, as I've been doing other stuff today.
I'm not that clued up on the equalizer side of things, it might be that different outputs don't support it. When do you see it disabled - when using Chromecast or DLNA?
