Amarok cover fetching

Posted on April 10, 2008 by Seb

Hi all,
Just a quick message that I’m sure many of you have discovered already. Cover art retrieval from Amazon is now broken due to a change in API that Amazon has introduced in it’s web service.

We will release Amarok version 1.4.9 very soon which will re-enable cover art downloads.

Thanks for your patience.

    I did wonder why that had stopped working…but wasn’t sure if it was due to Amarok, me running a beta-version of Kubuntu or whatever. Still, the 1.4.9 update worked like a charm here :) Thanks!

    Does this a sign that cover art should have been a plugin?
