Ran into a very bizarre problem today. Been using AAD with Foobar for years and never have had an issue until today and it is ONLY with this one album. No other albums, not even from the same band, has given me a problem. Anyway, when i click on a song and choose to get cover, i instead a Album Art Downloader Command Line Perimeters window filled with a bunch of text. It looks like Notepad. Anyway. The text is this:
>"C:\Program Files\AlbumArtDownloader\albumart.exe" "Converge" "Downpour / Serial Killer 5" (Single)" "J:\Music\Converge\Downpour & Serial Killer [EP]\cover.jpg"
