Some people (myself included) just like it. I also find it easy when
browsing lots of albums to identify them quickly by cover art. I don't
think a picture is quite worht a thousand words in this case, but they
just make things look nice and are easy to identify with quickly.

Just because lots of people like cover art doesn't mean it should be
imposed on everyone. By all means include the capability, but please
allow those users who don't want it to switch it off.
Some of us requested such an option a long time ago:

I am one of many who likes to see the cover art. But I guess people
should have the choice.

Yes, that was the original purpose of the request, but if you read some
of the comments, I think it's been expand

It IS about the music but a nice picture or two is always welcome.

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

I love the cover art. I think it is in fact one (maybe the only?)
negative aspect of the conversion to all digital. It is a lost art. I
use the nokia as a controller and really enjoy seeing the cover art of
the song I am plying. In fact, since Color TFTs are so cheap these
days, I'd love a SB with

For stuff like this,
For me cover art is important for the same reason icons on the desktop
are, speed of recognition. When I had my cd cases sitting out, the
color of the spine was usually my first filter for quickly finding one,
but that's when they were actually in the cases. Usually they were in

I'm sure we will eventually be able to select exactly what information
we'd like on the "Now Playing" screen. That kind of customization is
at the heart of what makes the Slim products so special.
But since the Jive platform is so new, the focus should be on stability

SWEET! The Zeppelin 3 vinyl album cover has that rotating disc so that
you can get different images to appear in the holes in the cover. Or
