Well, I don't know c++, but I don't see that " - " anywhere.

collectiondb.cpp has this:

    QCString key = md5sum( artist_, album );
    newAmazonReloadDate(asin, AmarokConfig::amazonLocale(), key);
    // Save Amazon product page URL as embedded string, for later retreival
    if ( !amazonUrl.isEmpty() )
        img.setText( "amazon-url", 0, amazonUrl );

    const bool b = img.save( largeCoverDir().filePath( key ), "PNG");

And md5sum:

QCString
CollectionDB::md5sum( const QString& artist, const QString& album, const QString& file )
{
    KMD5 context( artist.lower().local8Bit() + album.lower().local8Bit() + file.local8Bit() );
//     debug() << "MD5 SUM for " << artist << ", " << album << ": " << context.hexDigest() << endl;
    return context.hexDigest();
}

I don't think the .local8Bit() is a problem.  But I don't understand
what happens when calling with only two arguments.  Maybe I'm confused
about what is calling what there.


You can see why I was hoping that the md5 key was stored in the
database and related to the album.  Seems to be in the amazon table
but I don't see any relationships that would help.


Thanks,
