What it says in my previous post: Click on the single song, this displays the track details, then scroll to the album line and click again - and voilà, you have all album tracks listed. ralphpnj;271961 Wrote: > Both are workable stop gap solutions but somewhat labor intense and > require a fair amount of computer know how.

Maybe some time in the future when machines have adopted our way of thinking. Until then we have to deliver the information in a way the machine can deal with. ralphpnj;271961 Wrote: > It still seems that I'm not getting my point across or rather that my > "point" keeps on evolving just as this thread keeps on evolving.

Cover art is certainly not the end-all of metadata. But I think it does sell players and is therefore a must-have for Slimdevices/Logitech. Most people who just start using devices such as the Squeezebox are either used to viewing their CD covers or cover art on their iPods. It's something they are familiar with. It's reassuring for them to see that some "physical" part of their CDs is preserved when the music collection gets crammed onto a tiny harddrive and the audio medium becomes obsolete.
