Just to add some user experience

If you define an artwork & lyrics folder then MAI will attempt to
download and store as follows
Artist Art - will create an image file titled “artist name as LMS
wants”.png/jpg however if no image is found it will create a zero length
file with the suffix .missing. This enables a user to find an
appropriate image and name it correctly.
Lyrics - will download and store a .txt file of lyrics when you have MAI
open on the lyrics tab. You can correct errors manually or delete the
file and MAI will re lookup at next play with lyrics open.

Self generated bio’s and reviews.
Assuming you have an Artist/Album folder structure 
Create and drop bio.html into the Artist folder and MAI will use this
instead of looking the bio up on AllMusic
Similarly create an album review as review.html and drop into Album
folder.
Any standard hyperlinks you create inside the html files will be obeyed
by Material which will generate its Follow link and Search functions.
Don’t attempt to style the html in any way beyond basic H1, bold etc

If you are using Linux you can expand the accuracy of lots of MAI
capability by using symlinks

For example
MAI will pretty much always find lyrics for a Beatles track but if you
are playing a cover version it most likely won’t. You can symlink the
lyrics in the Beatles folder to ANOther’s version.
