Is this in the works for MC?

Does anyone know of software like this for windows?

Next Question is where does MC grab the images from? Most of them are like much bigger than the ones on Amazon.  Is there anyway to just manually browse them rather than having MC look them up?

looks cool, but i dont think theres a windows version.

for cover art, you can either use the MC integrated function, one of kingsparta's plugins (spartasoft.com from memory) or manually with something like slothdog's album cover finder

You can also manually get them from : Walmart.com (500x500 pixels), Amazon.com/Amazon.co.uk/Amazon.de (300x 300 pixels) and of course AllMusicGuide (200x200 pixels)
