| Summary | 0013344: Album Artwork lookup fails terribly when Album Artist is missing | ||||
| Description | If metadata includes Artist and Album, but Album Artist is missing, then for some reason, the artwork that is returned is often goods from retail outlets!! e.g. Counting Stars by One Republic from Native Shake it Off by Taylor Swift from 1989 etc. (it's easy to replicate) Question: I suppose that this should also apply to MMA? | ||||

This is because based on the new workflow added in 4.1.11 (see 0013047:0044009) it searches at first for <Album Artist>+<Album> and in case of failure it searches for <Artist>+<Title> Looking at 0013047:0044015 Peke indicated that "tested on 200+ files that do not have Album Artist and result was 100% correctly found album art" @Peke: you probably tested only on singles and compilation albums? I guess that we could try to fix it like this: If the <Album Artist> is empty then <Artist>+<Album> could be used at first and then <Artist>+<Title>, although I guess that it could reduce the accurancy for singles & compilations, but probably could be better in general. We will see based on Peke's testing. |

Fixed in build 4.1.13.1799 Peke please test on various tracks and try to compare whether the accurancy is better in general (note that singles and compilations are mostly in minority of the user's libraries). |

Verified 1800 Generally it failed about 1/20 On Compilation and Singles. But Works when Album Artist is edited/added for whole album and Set to either "VA"/"Various"/"Various Artist" |
