           Summary: please use common library for covers (juk, amarok, ...)
           Product: amarok
           Version: 1.2-CVS
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: amarok-bugs-dist lists sourceforge net
        ReportedBy: marco.krohn gmx de


Version:           1.2-CVS (using KDE 3.3.92 (beta2), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.7-1-k7

I am using amarok as well as JuK. Both have their strength thus I keep switching. \
What I love about both applications is that they show the covers of the albums. \
Unfortunately juk and amarok do not seem to share the same backend for cover \
handling. That means:

* the covers are stored in different directories
* they follow a different naming scheme (unfortunately the amarok file names do not \
                say anything about their content)
* amarok allows fetching covers from amazon, juk uses google images (which find less, \
but better images)

It would be great if amarok, Juk and others (noatun?) developers could unite and \
develop one backend for cover handling in the same spirit as taglib. This could also \
lead to a new freedesktop standard. 

Note: I have _not_ filed a seperate wishlist item for JuK in order to not polute the \
bug database.
