Re: [Banshee-List] Cover art suggestion

Fact remains that Banshee would be fetching images without regard to copyrights. Well, I'm no expert, I can add no more.

No, I don't believe so.

Banshee would merely be running a Google Images search for the album title + artist and fetching whichever result the search engine returns first. In fact it's not explicitly searching for cover art, as is the case on Amazon etc., it's doing the equivalent of "I'm feeling lucky". The website containing the image may or may not be licensed to do so, but Banshee is not selecting that website, it's selecting Google's first result, whichever it might be. In fact you could put this feature on the menu as "Use first Google Images result as cover art"

Apart from the listed sources, may I recommend that a search engine such as
Google Images is also used to get cover art? There are many instances where
Banshee doesn't find an album's art, but search engines will generally have
the cover art no matter how esoteric the album.
