Good to hear. Thanks for letting me know.

There's some very strange matching, and some obvious matches
I would expect to find that it didn't. Haven't had time to try to analyse why yet.

Most of these that don't match are because the title and artist combo are too short to make an exact match. The algorithm needs tweaking to get that piece right but I just haven't had time to mess with it.


Easiest way to check this out is to do a search on Amazon with the query string of "Artist Title" in the Music section. You'll see for example the fact that the first result for the Thin Lizzy album actually has no cover art and nether does the Satellites album. And the All About Eve album had no exact matches.


The oddest match is:

  Genesis (live) was matched as Foxtrot
     (Both albums by Genesis)

The failed matches I'm surprised at are:

  Artist                  Album
