Help Problems with MixZing

Hopefully I am posting this in the appropriate location. Unsure if my problem is Incredible specific or app issue, but anyways, here goes!

MixZing simply doesn't download the art files. I have the following settings:
Use Album Art Files: Checked
Download Album Art: Checked
Download Album Art: Always
Download Only on WiFi: Unchecked

Additionally, I did a "clear album art cache" to reset album art with no luck.

Any ideas what is wrong?

Also, is there a way to stop the app without using an app killer? I end up just pausing the player in the background and I rather stop the player. Pandora does this nicely. Is it simply a feature that doesn't exist or am I missing something.

This happens to me sometimes but I chalk it up to using MP3s that were downloaded from Limewire or such P2P software rather than ripping the actual CDs. Most of my music comes from P2P software so a lot of my album art/info/data won't download.

I don't use task killers or anything like that but I do make a habit of "backing" out of an app rather than just hitting the "home" softkey. This makes sure that the app is stopped and doesn't use any battery life while it's idle ( whether the apps actually use batter power when they're idle is another debate and not for this thread). I realize that this is a little OCD and time consuming for a lot of people ( especially if it's the browser app and you've been surfing for a long time ) but it works for me.
