1.6.6 changes all tags into chinese. At least on my machine. I use Vista. Old versions worked just fine on vista. All i needed to do is exclude Amazon. I am waiting for 1.6.7.

The problem is Amazon doesn’t allow downloading of cover pics any more, (No right-click and Save Image As) they’ve probably been threatened with lawsuits or are sick of the bandwidth being wasted by non buyers. The new, 1.6.6 doesn’t use Amazon. Go here and download it. http://www.unrealvoodoo.org/hiteck/projects/albumart/

As of April 2008, Amazon has deprecated the 3.0 version of their web services API. Since Album Cover Art Downloader depends on that very API, the Amazon image source has been disabled in the latest version of the program. If you are running an older version of the program, simply disable the Amazon image source in via the settings menu.

I tried this trick. added the import time at the beginning of the script. negative. I believe that amazon has changed how they store and serve album cover art b/c amarok is also now unable to get album covers from amazon. we’ll have to wait for a patch for these to work properly, I am guessing.

Update :
I tried to declare time using “Import” at the beginning of the script (i.e. import time).

Now it doesn’t give any error anymore, but it doesn’t find any cover at all. Never.

I think something messed up here, but I don’t know what …

Hope you can help me
Thanks

Hello,
I tried Rich’s suggestion and fix, but it doesn’t work. It says :
“NameError : global name ‘time’ is not defined”

I don’t know python at all, so I thought it was something like a predefined function. But it ain’t so, it seems.

So how do I have to declare ‘time’ in order to make time.sleep(2) work ?

Thanks in advance
Ehol
