Since this also has a high failure rate, and asks for confirmation after download, before updating, I have to babysit it. Is there any faster way to do this?
You get OUT what you put INTO it
Fast, as you found out, not very good.

Some tips: (Configure Metadata download button)
Reduce the number (source places) to your top sucess List (ones that return you like. Which ones depends on your Library contents). IMHO Set everything you can to be 'your way'

Set the Priority number for covers. You can select and OK as soon as you see a good one..No need to wait for all to show.

IMHO Work from the Edit Metadata (single mode) screen. Edit returned results as you go. Use Previous/Next to step to another title.
