Album cover art cannot be easily changed

[squigglycircle]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Automatically loaded album cover art cannot be changed in any immediately obvious way (right-click on image, song properties). Also, cover art results are sometimes wrong, especially for rare albums. For example, an album called "EP" by independent producer implicit Audio Frequency gives the cover of "The EP Collection" by The Ventures.

If relevant, this is on 0.10.0 for Ubuntu Feisty Fawn.

Thank you for your bug, that's known upstream, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363694

A note on this one. This is very annoying for non-English albums. As the albums doesn't exist in Amazon (or whatever sources RB uses), it will make a wild - and always incorrect guess - at the cover art.

In Windows Media Player 11, you can drag-and-drop an image on (almost) any UI-element that shows cover-art to change it.

Related to this - if you add a cover.jpg to a directory with songs AFTER RB fetched it's own cover art, it will never use the correct (i.e. manually inserted) cover art. I do strongly feel that RB should prefer whatever the user have deemed the correct cover instead of what RB thinks it is.

Fixed in Hardy.
