PerfectMeta - AMG favoured above others?

Re: PerfectMeta - AMG favoured above others?

But the 'choose art' button only allows you to select from covers it has already looked up - if the CD is not recognized correctly, those covers available are for the wrong CD.

e.g. In the case above, even after I changed the metadata, the choose art selector still only shows covers (in this case just the one) for 'Johnny YesNo' - I want to be able to force it to look up the covers again for 'The Original Sound of Sheffield'.

Yes it is, one has to win out, but if GD3 and Musicbrainz were identical then they should have won out.

The latest R14 beta has a button 'choose art' next to the album art.

I know that looking up CDs is often problematic with short CDs such as singles, but today I just had a mis-recognized album: 'The Original Sound of Sheffield '78/'82' by Cabaret Voltaire. It has 14 tracks, and is 65 minutes long. CD Ripper picked it up as a different Cabaret Voltaire record 'Johnny YesNo', which only has 6 tracks and is about 37 minutes long.

Fair enough, PerfectMeta can't get everything right (despite the name! :D), but when I did the Alt+M thing to review the matches, I see that GD3, MusicBrainz and Freedb all selected the right album (The Original Sound), only AMG mis-picked it. Therefore, what is PerfectMeta's algorithm for choosing the result? It seems to have picked AMG but I think the agreement of GD3, MusicBrainz and Freedb should override it.

Finally, related to this - when you change the match manually like this, it doesn't re-fetch the album art, so in this case I was still stuck with the mis-matched cover from AMG. Is there a way to force it to refresh just the cover art? I couldn't see anything. I am using the R14 beta.
