Amazon.com shows the artist as:
Angelo Badalamenti, David Lynch

Amazon.co.uk shows it as:
Angelo Badalamenti

I have it as: (same as .co.uk)

True :)

Amazon.com shows the artist as 
Prince

Amazon.co.uk shows the artist as
Prince & The Revolution

I have it the same as .co.uk

Well this explains why the weezer album doesn't get an image.


My Name         -> The Green Album
Amazon.co.uk    -> The Green Album
Amazon.com      -> Weezer (Green Album)

The others then:


My Name         -> The Hits - Disc 1
Amazon.co.uk    -> The Hits Vol.1
Amazon.com      -> The Hits 1
My Artist	-> Prince
Amazon.com	-> Prince

Not sure why this wouldn't work.


My Name         -> So Far... The Best Of
Amazon.co.uk    -> So Far... The Best Of
Amazon.com      -> So Far...The Best of Sinéad O'Connor
My Artist	-> Sinead O'Connor
Amazon.com	-> Sinead O'Connor

Is it possible that muine doesn't like the ' in O'Connor?



Does muine rely on exact matches for artist names?
