In light of the discussion, I would like to know your point of view for the current implementation of the art display then. It's doing exactly what you deem is wrong, and yet, for someone like me who has an internet connection far worse than most of you out there, I like it just fine. Now the lyrics, which are a fraction of the size of a cover art, yet you think that's bad (I still need to hear about the art plugin). Also, I think that in some point in time, saving the lyrics on disc like the art plugin does it, will be implemented, which will cover for when there's no internet connection. And still, I think that people might object that the lyrics are downloaded (for now) every time the song changes, but some might not. That's why this should be made into an option, so as to provide some flexibility. Another idea (which does not exclude the first one), would be to add a [Fetch the current song] button to the View->Lyrics window if the option is set to false, or is not implemented. And a good idea at some point in time would be to have an accelerator open up the window and show the lyrics, or if the window is open, just to refresh/show the new lyrics.
