@Mizery_Mode:
I considered backup at shutdown, however, I have seen so many problems at shutdown I decided against it. Also did not want to delay shutdown processing.

I use backup at startup instead with a 300 second delay to get past other startup processing, in particular, any podcast scans.

Tested using: Source=Google Artist="Jacques Brel" Album="Master Series: Jacques Brel, Vol. 1" Year=2003 Min=250x250 Max=None An image flashed up briefly and then disappeared, followed by "No Results". Checked the log. 5:10:04 AM Batch Art Finder started... 5:10:04 AM Si...

That is a given. If Lyricator can store it then the extractor will extract it.

He did ask. The function does not fit well with current structure of Lyricator so I am looking into creating a new script for the purpose.

"Archive Analysis" is an option of Trix's Puid Generator script.
I don't think the option is implemented in MIPT.

That would not fit well with the basic Lyricator function. It would be best done in a separate script.
Will take a look into it.

Last.fm is a an unlikely source of Original Year.

It's a virgin MMIP. Will take a look at code later. Not a big issue as I check AMG for 'proper" coding before I change any of the the values. I can do it just as easily from TI.

No brackets. I have both "The Afghan Whigs" and "Afghan Whigs" in the database.

Just installed and tested this script. Got "You have no such artists in your visible library" message, however, when I cross checked with Tagging Inconsistencies->Persons->The Inconsistencies I found I had quite a few. e.g. (The) Afghan Whigs.

%TEMP%\BatchArtFinder.log

The last lines in the log identify the album causing the invalid pointer error or the error executing script event.

Edit: Changed / to \. Spending too much time in Linux recently.

Got invalid pointer error on first album I tried. I have minimum set to 250x250. 2:25:51 PM path=C:\My Music\Jacques Brel\(2003) Intégrale 'La Boîte À Bonbons' (Disc 03 - Au Printemps 1958) 2:25:51 PM @http://images.google.com/images?q=Jacques+Brel+Intégrale+%22La+Boîte+À+Bonbons%22+%28Disc+03+%2...

Will re-test as soon as I surface from openSUSE.

Guess I am on the bleeding edge.
If it happens I can do a full optimize on the database. I probably have a lot of slack due to deleted podcast episodes.

Is there a known maximum size for the zip? 800MB is too big. Yeah. I saw your prior comments which was I am starting to get concerned. The current dedicated tools support at least 2GB uncompressed files. Hmmm. Do you happen to have any of your prior successful backup zip files around? That would gi...
