SqueezeCenter doesn't organize your music, you are responsible for
that.  SqueezeCenter is designed to not modify your music files, you
must use an external program for that.  If you rely on the tags that
EAC provides you will, sooner or later, find things that aren't right. 
There are very few tags from freedb that I get that I don't change for
one reason or another.  I have a very tight grip on my tags and have
very few issues.

As snarlydwarf alluded to about bad tags: garbage in, garbage out. 
MP3Tag is free and very easy to use.  Grab a copy and have a look at
your tags, you will probably be surprised.

The beauty of the web interface that it works on all platforms.  I run
SqueezeCenter on Solaris and the web interface is the same on Solaris
as it is on Windows, Mac, Linux, or *BSD.  It's consistency across
platforms, like it or not.  I personally don't care for the default
interface, Fishbone works much better for me.

There are limitations to using a web interface, mostly drag and drop
playlist organizing.  But the ability to use Winamp to make a playlist
and have SqueezeCenter rescan only playlists mitigates that limitation
(on Windows anyway).

As for the incorrect artwork, try clearing your browser cache after a
rescan.  It's a very common issue for incorrect artwork.
