Der listmembers, I found out recently that amarok is incapable to download any covers. Initially I thought that this was related to the version of amarok I am using and I even posted a bug - report upstream. However, I found out now that using openSUSE 13.2 the download of the cover for a certain album works flawlessly. In contrast, using either 42.1 or 42.2 there is no way to get covers from the internet. I used the same album in all cases and the same version of amarok, build as rpm from the same source package from the opensuse mirrors. I therefore consider this as a bug of opensuse and would appreciate very much if a kind soul out there could verify my findings (Album -> Fetch Cover). Whatever internet source I choose, there are no successful downloads of covers, in contrast, 13.2 does this easily. Many thanks for your efforts, take care

I've found that cover retrieval works better if you edit the track tags and ensure that the artist name is in the "artist" and "album artist" fields. Kind regards, Huw
