However, this is horribly slow. It can take 20-30 seconds to load artwork that isn't cached on their server, and it can't find things it should be able to (like Sheryl Crow's popular "C'mon C'mon"). More glaring, though, is the fact that iTCover isn't querying iTunes itself for the artwork! The iTunes COM model supports this - I can post the VB code here is someone wants it - it only takes a few lines.
For something better right now, try the free Kapsules environment (http://kapsules.shellscape.org) with the iTunes widget (http://kapsules.shellscape.org/widget.asp?id=65).
I'd encourage Tim to keep developing iTCover and consider some new features (make always-on-top an option, get artwork from iTunes if it exists, etc.)
