[QUOTE="beastham, post: 352336, member: 86488"] I think that the correct approach is to determine a standard tag that can be used for IMDB identifiers (like tt0759572) that the IMDB lookup engine would use. That would give the user control over the filename, and would guarantee lookups (since IMDB has said that those IDs will not change). Another benefit is that the appropriate CD cover can more easily be chosen (it can be found, although less directly, based on UPC). I have thought of making this my first patch proposal. However, it seems like a relatively easy fix for the developers. I believe that a whole set of standard tags could be used (IMDB, UPC, ISBN), because each allows different information to be found easily. If there is enough interest then maybe I will give something a try in the next few days - again, if the "real" developers don't beat me to it. [/QUOTE]
