Is this a crash or the album cover is wrong?

In my case, I can say that rhythmbox is getting wrong cover art ALL the time ...

Example of my problem is that album Intimacy by Matt Redman gets album cover Original Soundtrack for film Intimacy.

I sometimes get the correct album art, but often not. At the moment I've got Boston playing Smokin' from their Greatest Hits album, and the album art shown is "Broadway's Greatest Hits".

This seems to just be the result of a bad search tool. Either the search tool needs to be better, or there should be a way of manually searching and selecting the correct artwork, then have RhythmBox remember for next time.

When playing "Best of Richard and Mimi Farina", the album cover art is completely (and consistently) wrong. In this case it is "Hadley and Hampson" (of the Welsh National Opera)

The album is Matt Redman's "Intimacy" which displays the cover for the film "Intimacy".

I've also attached the song "One thing remains" which I chose to play to get the wrong cover art to show.

This is just one of many wrong covers that appear.

Providing an option to select an alternative cover would be a simple solution to this problem.
