i don't think this problem has anything to do with CueCat. i think it has to do with Amazon. i'm trying to download album art for a [relatively] recent CD, and no matter which Amazon server i choose, i'm getting the same "Bad HTTP status code" message.

Here's my session log for that error:

i have a hacked CueCat as well, though i never use it to enter CDs; i prefer to scan the CD in my CD drive. But the CueCat works fine for entering barcodes and searching the database by barcode.
