What do applications like MusicMatch use to accomplish this? They are somehow able to show me album cover art without me needing to download or scan anything. It simply appears to utilize the Album tag from the file while it's playing and displays the image over the internet. I'm a little

Slimserver doesn't download album art - you need to use another tool to do it. Something like Album Art Aggregator would be suitable. Search for album art on these forums for lots of threads on the subject. -- dSw dSw's
