Problem:
Compilation searches will fail because the album artist is "Various Artists" even though the track artist is correct.

Details
Compilations, such as soundtracks or hits from multiple artists, fail to match using get_cover_art. This appears to be due to the album artist having a different name than the track artist. As an example, see "Hitsville USA": https://music.apple.com/us/album/hitsville-usa-the-motown-singles-collection-1959-1971/1447557200

I just tried reproducing this behavior by creating a track with the following metadata:

Title: Jamie
Artist: Eddie Holland
Album Artist: Various Artists
Album: Hitsville USA - The Motown Singles Collection 1959-1971

But it works for me- it embedded the artwork from the link you'd provided. Perhaps this failed for you earlier because the previous version of the script was too picky about punctuation?
