Issues with cover art
MrC:
Getz for Lovers is Stan Getz, not Oscar Peterson.
Elton John's A Single Man, should not include the parenthetical text.
Once corrected, artwork lookup succeeds.

Of course but he was a guest on that track.

So for every album this needs to be removed? :( That's not good....how would one know if one is an older recording vs. a remastered? Or perhaps Cd or DSD without looking at all the info?
What about this one? It's a compilation.
MrC:
The lookup uses Artist (actually, probably Album Artist (auto)), not featured artists.
The best way to handle album variants is to use a different field (e.g. Album Variant), and then adjust your views to show [Album] [Album Variant]. You get correct lookups, and can then view in a variety of ways. It's easy to piece together field values; it's hard to break them apart, and requires doing so for lookups.
AMG is probably the best bet to determine the Artist and Album values to use.
For example:
http://www.allmusic.com/album/based-on-a-true-story-mw0002491758

Thanks but honestly, I don't understand what you're telling me.
MrC:
Simply put...
Set Album and Artist to the values you find in allmusic.com.
This means you'll be moving your "(Remastered blah blah blah)" to a different field in MC. I would use Keywords personally, and it will look like this:
Artist Album Featuring Keywords
Stan Getz Getz for Lovers Oscar Peterson
Elton John A Single Man Remastered; Bonus Tracks
Then, you just adjust your album views.
If this isn't going to work for you, then change the Artist and Album values temporarily and do the look-up.
