GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 349066
Wrong coverart
Last modified: 2009-06-14 13:08:55 UTC
Using CVS HEAD updated 2006-07-26 [1] Playing "Dr. Jones" from Aqua (I know...), album name Aqua as well, I get the coverart for Mancef Genoud's Aqua album [1]: Last ChangeLog entry is: 2006-07-26 Jonathan Matthew <jonathan@kaolin.wh9.net> * rhythmdb/rhythmdb-query-model.c: (rhythmdb_query_model_copy_contents), (rhythmdb_query_model_chain): * rhythmdb/rhythmdb-query-model.h: Add function to copy contents from one query model to another, filtered by the destination model's query. * sources/rb-browser-source.c: (rb_browser_source_do_query): Use the above to create a new query model for subset searches, rather than filtering the existing model. Fixes #348617.
Using the current CVS HEAD, I see the same problem with "Informer" by "Snow", which shows me the very best of Phoebe Snow.
Which is the bug, the cover art or listening to "Informer"? :)
(In reply to comment #2) > Which is the bug, the cover art or listening to "Informer"? Both having Snow and Aqua in my playlist, and the cover art ;)
The same thing happens with the album the sound of silence of simon and garfunkel rhythmbox 0.11.1
Same type of thing with the self-titled album by the band Bleach. Instead, it gives the Nirvana Bleach album.
i think this is a duplicate of http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347818

I've improved the amazon search result handling in a few ways: - rather than exact and substring matches, we now use a fuzzy string matcher - we now compare all the artist names amazon returns, not just the first - we reject results where either the artist or title fails to match at all (so you don't get the wrong album by the right artist) I've tested this with 100 or so albums and found that we always get the correct cover if it's available for single artist albums, we get a fair number of correct compilation covers, and when nothing matches at all, we rarely get a bogus cover image. The few cases where I ended up with entirely the wrong image were for obscure compilations with fairly generic names ("next generation" for one). So, I'm going to close this. If new cases arise, please open a new bug.
