Thumbnail picture never works

Hi!

When I make a request such as :

http://search.yahooapis.com/AudioSearchSer...stSearch?appid=[sparff]&artist=Madonna&results=1

I want to get the thumbnail picture right, so it gives a url like this :

http://thm-audio.image.search.vip.re3.yaho...image/190239685

But that link doesnt work, and none of the thumbnails it seems to return ever work!

Can somebody help me out!?

Thanks

Andy

When doing as you suggest: the relevant image appears to be the default yahoo music one - over and over for any artist??

This cannot be right?!

I'm having the same problem. A few have worked, but most have not.

If you have questions about the Search APIs, please contact that team for assistance. As an aside, looks like the Audio Search API has been deprecated and will not be supported going further:

As for Music, artist images are not supported through the Music API (content provider restrictions). Only Video thumbnail image services are available:
