I guess the point of this weblog was that I'm looking for the lazy solution. Maybe I should be a little more clear about what I mean by that. The point was that I don't need different interfaces to iTunes, I'm happy with iTunes the way it is to be honest. I don't need artwork displayed on the desktop or a cool interface that shows things off in a new way, although both of those things are pretty cool as well. What I enjoyed was the 'lazy' approach to just adding artwork to iTunes with the least possible effort. That's what seemed to be the crux of the previous blog on the subject and that's what Sofa got me (albeit a little buggy for the time being).

At the moment Synergy is experiencing some pretty unfair troubles with Amazon concerning it's means of access to artwork, but once those are solved then I'm sure it will more than likely offer the right mix of functionality (just give me the artiwork would be good enough) and robustness (please don't hang my machine again).

As to the software apps eventually being equals, the diversity is fine by me, but really I'm happy with everything else iTunes. I just want the artwork as easily as possible for the collection of music I have already bought.
