You mean http://www.albumartexchange.com/gallery/images/public/mo/moodyb-timetr_03.jpg ? ;)

I recommend Album Art Exchange as the first place to look if there's no suitable cover in the online database. Use the link...

Code: [Select]
<Link version="1.2">
<Item Name="Name">Cover</Item>
<Item Name="Filter">[Media Type]=[Audio]</Item>
<Item Name="Action">2</Item>
<Item Name="Base URL">http://www.albumartexchange.com</Item>
<Item Name="Search URL">http:////www.albumartexchange.com//covers.php?q=Hexify([Artist])&amp;sort=7&amp;fltr=2&amp;bgc=&amp;page=</Item>
</Link>

At Options - General - Online Metadata, please check Submit cover art changes to online database to share what you find. 8)

Apparently something is not working on the server. I did several queries with about 30 popular albums and only a very few was found. I know for sure that most if not all of the albums that I tried have received at least my submission and probably many other submissions.

I attached a screenshot of eight "Get Cover Art" windows. Only one of the albums was found.

There was a server problem a week ago. Is this still the same problem? (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=60705.msg409717#msg409717)
