Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] Patch proposal: Show album cover as icon nextto the song tiltle

There is a windows program called Tag & Rename that I used for a short 
time to download cover art from allmusic.com.. It gave you the option of 
saving it as a file, saving it in the tag, or both. I use the latter 
method to store cover artwork.

As far as I know, most programs that display cover art look for a 
cover.jpg but I'm not sure if they look for other file extensions.
