Using 3.2.6756 from the Windows Store on Windows 10, 17704 (Insider Preview).  Whenever I use the feature "Search Internet for Picture" it overwrites other albums from different artists with the same image.  When I correct the overwritten changes on other albums, it overwrites other albums as well.  In addition, after updating a few albums, it eventually displays an error that I cannot save changes.  I looked in the %TEMP% folder and see all of the files being cached by MusicBee, so the only fix I've found is to close the app, delete the %TEMP% folder/files, and re-open the app to continue.

i expect your other music files are also residing in the temp folder and hence sharing the same artwork in that folder

Actually, no.  My music files are all under C:\Users\David\Music.  So, does this imply that the .mp3 files need to be placed into sub-folders per artist and album?  They cannot be placed in a common folder location?

If you want to have all of your music files in one folder, you have to adjust your artwork storage options (Edit->Edit Preferences->Tags(1)->artwork storage) to account for this, either by embedding the artwork in the music files themselves or by naming each album's art uniquely with a template.  Otherwise, if every album points to the same file (eg. cover.jpg) in the same folder, how would you expect to differentiate them?  It's just going to keep overwriting cover.jpg with a new picture every time.
