I think it would be good to be able to display alternative album covers for an album within PA so that all known variations can be seen by members. There seems to be a lot of albums around where there are alternative covers, with some being simple cropping when moving from LP land to the world of CD's and others being completely different depending on when and where the album originated, censorship laws, etc.
A good example is GG's Octopus...

One for the web gurus, perhaps?
As a thought, maybe thumbnails next to the main cover showing the various alternatives in miniature, then click on the thumbnail and that cover becomes the one being viewed in the main window ... a bit like the photos you see on eBay. Edited by T.Rox - August 08 2006 at 01:19 |

Yeah Great Idea, also what about a window or something for the back covers of an album.
Why do record companys issue a same album with various covers? |
