I don't know when it started, but as of today, anyway, amarok's cover manager just doesn't work at all. No matter what I do, it won't find any covers. Has amazon changed the API again?

Yes. A patch is being prepared to get the same functionality from last.fm, I believe.

Which version are you talking about?
Latest, 2.1.1. Had another reply saying yes, it was dead.

Ok. I am using v1.4x ported from someone on the Internet and Cover Manager does not work either.
I hated v2.x due to a different look & feel, limited functionality & features but more importantly, it killed my gdm. Not very nice.

Yes, it is broken in v1.4.10 also. There is a patch available, but I haven't had time to install it. Do a search for amarok-1.4.10.coverfetcher.diff.gz.

Let me know how it works for you if you try the patch.

As far as I can tell, the patch does not work for me. I checked to make sure that the patches were applied (they were), and clicking on the "Fetch Missing Covers" button, it never found a single cover image out of 957 missing covers.
I did not install the built amarok in the usual places and for testing purpose, I tried to run the executable directly from a terminal window and got:
# ./BUILD/amarok-1.4.10/amarok/src/loader/amarok Amarok: [Loader] Starting amarokapp.. Amarok: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this binary! Use amarokapp. kbuildsycoca running... QLayout "unnamed" added to QVBox "unnamed", which already has a layout QLayout: Adding KToolBar/mainToolBar (child of QVBox/unnamed) to layout for PlaylistWindow/PlaylistWindow QObject::connect: Incompatible sender/receiver arguments StarManager::ratingsColorsChanged() --> ContextBrowser::ratingOrScoreOrLabelsChanged(const QString&)
I obtained the patch from: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=117&t=76607
Maybe you will have better luck than me?
