Doing a search for "Rob Lane & Joseph Vitarelli - John Adams" comes back with a ton of results, only one of which is correct (the image I just uploaded). This album hasn't even been released yet, so I didn't really expect to find anything. I only checked it to see if the image I used had uploaded.

I'm confused. There is no 'Rob Lane', no 'Rob Lane & Joseph Vitarelli', and the only Vitarelli is 'Joseph Vitarelli' by himself.
But he doesn't have have an album called John Adams, and in fact the album he does have is without cover art.

Could you double check?

Just tried it again and got the same result. It takes a really long time before it returns any results, presumably because of the sheer number of images being returned. I started counting but gave up when I hit 100 and the scrollbar wasn't even 1/4 of the way down.

I've had a few lookups today return tons of wrong entries for one album too...  should we list such occurrences here ?

Thanks Doof - that helps a lot, explains a lot. There's a bug somewhere, I'll figure it out tomorrow.

Mark - post a couple if you don't mind.

Confirmed.

Was it just some weird entry in the database or an actual bug?

It was a bug introduced when I shut off the fuzzy matching yesterday... -- j

Can the Get Cover Art dialog have a "Remove Cover Art" button that actually deletes the current Your Library image and the image link from the current album/tracks?

Reason: The system is a way to find new cover images, but ALSO to clean up existing bad images. In my library, prior automated lookups added wrong images to various tracks. The new system is helpfully showing them to me (hadn't noticed before, big library). But sometimes a correct image isn't found, so the desired action is to remove the bad cover art track(s) album that is being viewed in the Get Cover Art dialog. But how? It just needs the same Remove Cover Art button/function that is available elsewhere.

(Otherwise, I need to write down track details, exit the Get Cover Art system, then go find and edit the various tracks.)

What about all those images with the text "No Image Available - Share your own customer image" will they be voted out?!

Yes they will. It's not an instantaneous process. It'll take about a while before bad art starts disappearing.

But, the bad images should already be appearing at the bottom of the list (having few votes).

You know, it would be nice if "Get From Internet" actually got images from the internet, rather than from your servers.  It is sad when I have to use another application or even Google to get some art.

Right Click->Send To (external)->Add/edit programs

Create an entry:

Name: Image Search
Program: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
Parameters: images.google.com//images?q="\"[artist]\" \"[album]\""&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi images.search.yahoo.com//search//images;_ylt=A0geu.zhLMRGCHcBV7FXNyoA?ei=UTF-8&p="\"[artist]\" \"[album]\""

ok

Now you can send a track to this routine and it will pop up a firefox window with searches aimed at google images and yahoo images.  Once you've used it once it will be in your right click list...

Now leave the new wonderful art system alone! :p

PS I would like to see "Get From Internet" changed to something more useful as I requested earlier in the thread.

Are  you using one of the latest builds?  12.0.476 is at the top of the MC12 board. 

"Get from Internet" is a legacy term.  It probably won't change, but we have plans to add to the feature.

Nice one Mark, great idea.

Anyway we could see the full size image when we hover over the left hand side Image box in the navigation tree (eg the same way we see the full size image in the cover art system)?  This would enable us to quickly decide whether or not to look up new cover art in the cover art system, saving us time and the server unnecessary hits...

Thanks,

Mark
