Currently i am using latest version and it was working fine with the latest version too but just one fine day as i search for artwork and clicking google search it just stopped showing any result.Below screenshot is just an example of a song buy tried many other songs too but now now google search shows no results.I'm using Musicbee3.37367.
Thx in advance

Its nothing to do with the musicbee release. It looks like google have effectively made extracting full size original images from search results impossible so I will likely remove the functionality

Great minds indeed. Thanks Steven.

Since I'm using 3.4 exclusively at this point I'll wait until the next alpha.

using v3.4 patch

Just a heads up ... 3.4 is an early alpha version. It's a very stable alpha, but it's still possible bugs may show up. There's no timetable for it's 'official' release as it will go to beta first. If you're concerned about using an alpha version, you have options:
1- keep using your current 3.3 version - you can apply the latest 3.3 patch over the 3.4 patch you just applied.
2- download the portable 3.3 version and place it in a completely new directory and then apply the 3.4 patch

Based on another thread, it seems the google issue is also affecting Artist images.  Maybe Bing is the answer there, too.

Ah yes, thanks. It seems I overlooked the difference between album artwork and artist artwork over there.
