ways:
- 1. If CDDBMETHOD is musicbrainz the album art is downloaded from

coverartarchive by MBID (MusicBrainz Identifier)
2. If 1 fails, download is tried from amazon by ASIN (Amazon

You will need to install your distro's package of glyr, a music
related metadata search engine, and it is strongly advised that

.B CDDBMETHOD
-Specifies the method we want to use to retrieve the track information. Two
-values are recognized: "cddb" and/or "musicbrainz" which can be given as
-a comma delimited list to be tried sequentially in the event of failure
-of the first search. The "cddb" value needs the CDDBURL and HELLOINFO
-variables described below. The "musicbrainz" value uses the Perl helper
-script \fBabcde-musicbrainz-tool\fR to establish a conversation with the
-Musicbrainz server for information retrieval.

* Rework abcde-musicbrainz-tool to work with WebService::MusicBrainz 1.x
Thanks to Nicolas Guillaumin for the patch. Closes Issue 60:
https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60
+ Also added a specific dependency on version 1.0.4 or newer, so
+ abcde-musicbrainz-tool will abort if the version found is too old.
