I've just verified that automatic artwork lookup is done only for files with _known_ album and known artist or album artist. By known I mean that their value is not an empty string. Maybe you mean albums that have values like "unknown", i.e. not just empty string? Could you upload example file? |

By manual lookup you mean probably via Properties -> Artwork tab -> Lookup button In that case it depends on the checkbox [x] Apply to all files in Album/Series So if the user keeps the checkbox checked then it is reasonable that it tags whole the 'Unknown' album. For what remains it has always worked this way. As possible "resolution" we could disable the lookup button completely in case the album field is empty, but this could be unclear for the users why it is disabled. Better alternative would be to show dialog or hint upon clicking the lookup button whenever album or artist field is empty: "Please enter album/artist name to get most accurate results", but this requires adding a new string to translations so it cannot be targeted to 4.1.6 Assigned to Rusty for revision. |

As making a mistake here (having it apply to all unknown Album files) is a huge hassle for the user to fix we should try to prevent the mistake from happening. Some form of warning or force Album value could be the solution. |
