      Please Mr iTunesman
  
      ( Stop )
      Oh yes, wait a minute
      Mister Tunesman
      ( Wait )
      Wait Mister Tunesman
  
      (*) Please Mister Tunesman look and see
      ( Oh yeah )
      If there's some artwork in your store for me
      ( Please, Please, Mister Tunesman )
      Why's it takin' such a long time
      ( Oh yeah )
      For me to see about this artwork of mine
  
      There must be
      Some PNGs tonight
      For my song files
      To make them right
      Please Mister Tunesman
      Look and see
      If there's some artwork
      Some artwork for me
       
      I've been standin' here 
      Watchin' Mister Tunesman
      So confusedly
      Take the soundtrack
      For the movie "Rushmore"
      It has "The Faces"
      But others too
      So why ya' usin' "Ooh La La"
      For the cover?
       
      Repeat (*)
       
      So many soundtrackss
      You passed them by
      See the tears
      Standin' in my eyes
      You didn't stop
      To see compilations
      By leavin' them
      The right illustrations
       
      Repeat (*)
       
      ( Why don't you check it and see one more time
      for me you gotta )
      Wait a minute, wait a minute...
      ( Mister Tunesman )
      Mister Tunesman look and see
       
      ( C'mon deliver the artwork, 'cause right now it don't work )
      Mister Tunesman
  
  
  *ahem*
  
  Sorry, I'm on a Motown kick this week.
  
  Really though, grabbing album artwork is clever and useful, but...
  
    * ...using The Faces' "Ooh La La" for the "Rushmore" soundtrack?
  
    * ...using James Brown's "Black Caesar" for "Lock, Stock, and Two 
      Smoking Barrels"?
  
    * ...using James Brown's "20 All Time Greatest Hits!" for both the 
      "Rocky IV" soundtrack (for "Living in America", the only song I have 
      from that album) and Nancy Sinatra's version of "You Only Live 
      Twice" from the James Bond soundtrack of the same name (and again, 
      the only song I have from that album). 
  
  Would it be too hard to check if a track is flagged a compilation, and 
  if so, make sure that the retrieved artwork is from an compilation?
  
  For that matter, making sure that the name of the album (and artist) is 
  the same on both sides would be a good start, no?
  
  Still, quirks aside, and ObHate aside, it is a fun UI...
