Album Title text instead of album art?

Greetings!

The database of music that I have is rather well organized (for the amount of music contained), but it lacks album art. I could search for them and add them but it would take ages and I need to get the site ready to use. Is there a way to disable album art thumbnails and instead use the album title? I don't mind editing some files if I need to.

Thank you :)

well my idea was to go directly to your MySQL manager (phpMyAdmin) and execute something like...

UPDATE #__muscol_albums SET image = "yourpicture.png"

(you must replace #_ for your actual table prefix)

    that would require code changes..
    what I would suggest instead is to use a "default" image (you can set it through the DB, set all images to default.png
    and just use that file..

    u know what I mean?

    Yes thank you. How would I go about setting the default.png? I have the picture to use but I'm not sure how to tell the system to use it for all albums? I have over a thousand albums and it would be impractical to set them one by one.

    Thanks for the help.
