Description Malte S. Stretz 2004-10-02 17:51:10 UTC 
Version:           1.1 (using KDE 3.3.0, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-gentoo-r3

The CD cover fetcher is pretty nifty, unfortunately does amazon.com not know many of international CDs.  For example when I fetch the cover for "Montana Chromeboy - American Massage" I get the cover of some weird DIY massage CD while the correct cover is available via amazon.de.

I guess most of the local Amazon branches also offer the international CDs, so a first step to improve this could be to offer the user an option to choose a local Amazon site.

Later on it might be cool to query several sites based on meta infos fetched via MusicBrainz or CDDB something.

This is probably related to bug 90499.
