Depends on if artwork is important to you or not. To me it is - not the
most important thing of course, i do really like having it. It makes
using things like slimserver more of a pleasure too.

I don't think adding 20k to an already 30Mb file is a big deal either.

Where i would really like it is when i rip to an Image and CUE sheet.
The whole lot in one neat package.
