It uses the KDE CDDB interface library which can be configured to query any
cddb-compatible source. I think it defaults to gnudb.gnudb.org, which used
to be freedb. And the KDE backend includes a configurable MusicBrainz
query, too, which you can enable in the system settings under "CDDB
Retrieval"

I don't think a cover image is included in CDDB results, they're text only.
I can double-check that. Tellico tries to give enough info to differentiate
them, but if you have examples where it is not, let me know so I can
improve those.
