... So I'm using a new media player on my KDE system, and it's completely awesome. It's called AmaroK (open source, naturally) and it does absolutely everything you could imagine a media player doing. In addition to creating every different kind of catalog-- by artist, by album, by genre, by associated kinds of music-- it includes the ability to store album covers and lyrics.

It gets the album covers, as far as I can tell, by querying the Amazon engine and picking the most likely candidate from their huge collection of CD's. It does surprisingly well, although now and again it picks a really interesting one (typically on "greatest hits" collections, of which I have a lot, because I assume it finds other greatest-hits CD's that almost match).

But nothing prepared me for this album cover, which came completely out of the blue. In a sad, sick kind of way I'd like to hear something from this album. Who knows what the "Latin Playerz" have in store...
