Can you give some examples? The code tries to account for slight
variances - I'd be interested to know of ways this could be done better.

Well, we currently use ID3 tag support from libid3tag, so if that
supports it, then I don't know any reason why not, Jorn is probably best
placed to comment on whether this would be possible though. In the short
term if you store albums in per-album folders, you can save the cover
art as cover.jpg and muine will pick it up.
