Also Chris, note that we don’t throw away the user’s cover art when we get a metadata match. We use the highest quality art available, as long as we’re confident it’s the front cover. This ensures huge scans of the back of the LP don’t end up in the album browser.
When the art we find is higher resolution than what’s in the directory or embedded in the file’s tags we use that, but the user’s cover art should still be available under the pencil icon, assuming it was picked up according to our other cover art rules. Those are detailed here.
Let us know if that addresses your case!
