Good question.  And I don't know if the gapless playback will only  
work on the newest (12-sep or later) iPods or not.  If so, it seems a  
waste to do it.  And it took HOURS to process my library.

Overall I like the look of the new sidebar and the app in general.

The scrollbars, on the other hand..

Coverflow is awesome though, I'm so glad Apple bought/stole/adopted  
that.

One thing that is odd, iTunes will only fetch artwork for tracks  
"ripped in iTunes"  And it seems to know which ones are and aren't.   
I tried to get it to grab the artwork for a album I just ripped (MP3/ 
V0) in EAC/LAME<1> and it refused to do it.  I reripped it again in  
iTunes (ACC 192) and it grabbed the artwork right off.  Very  
annoying, as I prefer LAME/V0, but reripping a track to get the  
artwork and copying it to my LAME/V0 album seems like too much work.

So, how does it know and can I fake it out somehow?

<1> Yes, on a Piece of Crap
