I'm totally lost here. You are saying that these 18 pages of people saying how great this release is doesn't care that their albums does not show the covers?

One person's must have feature is frequently a *yawn* for someone else, or something to be disabled.

I for one could care less about covers... in fact if they occupied too much space or used too much system resource, I'd be disabling such a feature.

Granted, I'm more inclined to use any media player (including a desktop Unix workstation) more like an iPod shuffle than many of you might. Covers just get in the way of "select playlist; random; play all".

Now if there is a useful way to build up a playlist (coming soon, perhaps?) while navigating through covers, then I would be happy to have that graphical assistance at my fingertips for that purpose.

The Canola folks have given a reason as to why they do not provide cover downloads with *their* product, and have also indicated that the field is open to third parties to provide; its not unreasonable for a new *beta* application to come out before third party developers have a chance to release their add-ons.
