Thanks in advance, I just want to understand how this wonderful piece of software works!
As was said before, we cannot distribute something to get the covers from the internet, and as there is no standard for covers in album dirs (some people would say cover.jpg, some cover.png, some album.jpg, some front.jpg, ...) and we are very sensible to size so we do well on such slow hardware, we left this until we have something better to provide.

In mean time, you can use http://staff.get-e.org/?p=users/chen....git;a=summary as starting point to hack your own solution until we have something official, actually that was the idea in having this as free software, so you can help yourself until we have something. If you need some pointers, you can install python ID3 lib and use "os.walk()" to get files, ID3 to get album/artist name and then use the example code to load images and generate images with the correct size. If someone does that, then please post it here or at planet.maemo so others can benefit.
