If you really if the album art is stored as tag and it's not supported by mp3info..

I just received the cover art for my May 6th release. I'm just blown away by TEB's covers. Yet again, they've nailed the story.

Much of the story she captures with the cover art, it's like she gets inside my head! Very nice of the story she captures with the cover art, it's like she gets inside my head! She's really friendly, too.

So, anyone here have already bought a game just because of the cover art itself? Knowing the game was good or not, but because you liked the art on the cover.

It is the responsibility of your agent to negotiate with them on cover art, but yes, to a large extent it is down, but larger publishers generally don't allow the authors create or have major input on the cover art.

I've seen good cover art on dust jackets, pictures that let you know the artist had a halfway decent idea of what was going on inside the book.
