In the Artist information window there are some information about the artist and also the (all) albums of the artist listed.
If an album is in the music library then this album is also shown in this list (with the cover), i.e. there is a matching of the own albums with the albums from the scrapper. This matching seems to be very simple and sometimes (often) there is no match. For me it looks like that the album title must match on every character and is case-sensitive.
As you can see my album title "Songs from a Room" will not match "Songs From a Room". The only difference is the lower case 'f' against the upper case 'F'.
Other albums will not match because of a different apostrophe is used. I use the typewriter apostrophe (') but the scrapped album titles seems to use the typographic apostrophes (’).
I have this non-matchings also on other artists/albums. Often I use EAC to rip my Audio CD's and I only do the tagging with EAC (using the data provided by the EAC data source). I'm not using MusicBrainz very often (even if this may not be a total solution for this problem).
I use the default scrapper (Universal Artist Scrapper and Universal Album Scrapper) with the default settings. Only the preferred language is set to German.
For me the matching should not be case sensitive.
Also the problem of different punctuation marks is very common, especially if you think in different types of (typographic) punctuation marks in different languages.
I think the matching of own album titles to scrapped album titles should be more sophisticated. Some improvements may be very easy to implement (e.g. not case-sensitive), other changes might be a little bit more difficult to implement (e.g. normalize [or remove] punctuation marks).
