Let me explain why I asked about it. I *knew* it's somehow possible to set the cover via DnD, it was written in the NEWS file, and the albums list was the first place where I tried it, which means that it would be intuitive UI at least for me (assuming it would occur to me that I can use DnD at all, which it probably wouldn't, I'm not used to it). When it didn't work, I blamed it on one of these DnD protocols incompatibility problems that still exist and only later did it occur to me that I can try to drag the cover to the *other* place where cover is shown. So I am now able to set covers via DnD, but frankly, it can be a pain to do it when you're doing initial import of lots of albums. I have several albums that don't have covers at Amazon (mostly from magnatune.com) and when I wanted to set them, I had two options: I could do it one by one, i.e. add single album, drag the cover, clear playlist, add another album, drag the cover, clear playlist and so on. Or I could add all of the albums to the playlist and set them, but because the album image is bound to currently played song, I'd have to change the song at random, hover over the album image to see what the album is in the tooltip (because this information is not visible in the playlist), drag the image and continue searching for songs from still-coverless albums by trial and error. Changing the song takes about 2 seconds here (all GStreamer apps suffer from this, it's not Muine-specific), so it is lengthy process. Both these methods suffer from additional issue: I would like to listen to one particular album when working on filling-in missing covers, but I can't because I have to keep either changing the playlist or changing between the songs, even though the task I'm doing at the time (i.e., changing the covers) is unrelated to playback. This is, of course, not really important because you set the covers once, but listen to the music all the time, so Muine's UI still beats any other player's that I know by wide margin and would even if this was as horrible problem as I made it sound above, which it isn't.
