1: The cover art download wasn't always accurate, which I could correct manually.
2. UKMP had trouble with doubleCDs. It lumps them as one CD, and sometimes drops some of the songs. When it keeps them all, it doesn't maintain the correct order (all of CD 1, followed by CD 2).

A lot of my music is Broadway musicals, ripped to mp3s by Windows Media Player.

Thanks,

I'll try to get the doubleCD problem fixed for the next version. I suppose I can just use the cd number tag from the id3 tag, right?

As for the first problem, ukmp uses yahoo to get the covers and it's just not a perfect solution. Ok, many people have suggested amazon, but the counter argument is that amazon only has cds from mainstream artists and even then mostly only from the english speaking countries. So, in that sense, yahoo (or any other search engine) is more neutral.
