From the ArchLinux Wiki, if you’re trying to update the Album art from Amazon, you’re going to run into a problem:
On May 18th, 2007 Amazon has updated their ECS API. This update has cause the inability of Exaile < = 0.2.9 to retrieve album art. A patch which restores the ability to restore album art retrieval from Amazon has been provided on Exaile's website along with instructions on how to apply the patch. This issue has already been addressed in Exaile's SVN.
The Exaile.org developers have this to say about it:
Amazon ECS 4.0 Update 07.05.16, 03:03 PM
Amazon has updated their ECS API to 4.0 today, which caused Exaile < = 0.2.9 to stop fetching album art. This is fixed in Exaile’s SVN, and there is also a patch available for Exaile 0.2.9 that you can find here. More information (applying the patch, etc) can be found here.

So you’ve loaded Linux and it comes with an excellent music player, Exaile. Unfortunately, when you scan the directory where you have all of your music, it crashes. You try again and it fails again. Start up Exaile and check the version (Help->About). If the version is less than 0.2.9, then you need to upgrade it.
I’m running Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty) and the lastest version in the standard repositories is Exaile 0.2.8. Now, the Exaile developers have set up their own repository for Ubuntu 
so let’s use that:
Ubuntu Repository
Users of Ubuntu Feisty can optionally use this repository. Add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42 feisty exaile
and then type the following:
wget http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/8434D43A.gpg
sudo apt-key add 8434D43A.gpg
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install exaile
After you upgrade Exaile, it should look show the version as 0.2.9:
