Bug Description

There are a number of albums in my library which BeatBox hasn't been able to find art for. Some of these albums are really unknown and so it's not unexpected. But I've noticed that the majority of unfound art is for album whose name or artist name includes special characters.
For instance none of my "Sigur Rós" albums have been given art (notice the 'o' with acute accent), and these aren't exactly small, unknown albums.
Also "Trentemøller" and "Múm".
this isn't exactly scientific but I think it probably has something to do with the special chars.
Either BeatBox is botching the request due to the chars, or the external service you're using doesn't recoginze the chars (perhaps on their database "Sigur Rós" is stored as "Sigur Ros" (without the acute)).
