it will automatically write the image which has been fetched on the
directory of the current track.

One way to absolutely have the cover image you want, is to put a copy<br>
of "<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://cover.jp" target="_blank">cover.jp</a>"
or "cover.png" inside the folder of the album. Some<br>
tagging programs will do the fetching for you automatically. A bit<br>
time-intensive, but positively fool-proof.<br>
<br>
Valorie, who has started doing this, especially for compilations<br>
<br>
PS: Cover-fetching has been given some love in 2.2.2, I hear. Today!<br>

Valorie and Simon - thanks.<br>
<br>
Simon, I don't see anything that would suggest how this gets installed
- no installation script, etc. Can you advise please?<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
