rhythmbox

I run ubuntu 10.10 and use rhythmbox (version 0.13.1) regularly with the albumartsearch plugin installed. However when I change the album art it is only temporary. On moving to the next song it automatically removes the previous song's album art cover. (I do know about banshee but would like to use rhythmbox).

The cover art plugin is also installed by default however it cannot display some of the album covers since the songs are in my local language (tamil) hence it cannot retrieve the album cover from the internet. However the albumartsearch plugin seems to do the job although only temporarily.

Any reason why it might be?

I have tried looking for other rhythmbox plugins which might be similar to albumartsearch but in vain. Any help would be appreciated.

I have filed a bug in the albumartsearch plugin's website. Waiting for the reply.
