    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...
