then this is a mystery!  not one of my albums shows cover art to
mp3tag.  i thought maybe it was because i used WMP to get a lot of the
art, and so the files are hidden, but i tested albums with Folder.jpg's
that i placed there myself, [not hidden] and those don't show up
either.

any ideas?

i see a checkbox with a check in it that says "Display cover art"

no joy.

yeah, it strikes me as odd...  but i'm not gonna worry about it...  if
i keep messing with this app i might come across the answer, but i
hopefully won't need to use this app much.  i can see tho where it
could be great for syncing flac/mp3 tags on mirror libraries, something
i might need one day.

or show both.  like, for mp3s, instead of it just saying "Band" it
could say "TPE2 Band" and so on for all such names.  again, just as an
option.

i totally agree with you, and i think not having this really hurts
educating others as to whats going on under the hood at the root level
of tagging.

in a way that shows no command of the facts, i think i still understand
what you mean.  i'm certain i would support this as well.

is there anyway i can vote for your enh requests over at their site? 
i'd be happy to.
