Is this a released compilation, or did you make this compilation yourself from random songs in your collection? If it's a released compilation, it'd make sense for all tracks to share the same cover (that of this compilation) rather than showing the track's original album artwork. Or am I not understanding what you're trying to do?

Personally, I'd love to see albums with multiple discs use the individual disc covers when available rather than just falling back to the first image supplied. Case in point:

Let's say I have an album called "Club collection", consisting of 5 "discs". All discs have similar artwork, but with a DISC #1, DISC#2, etc in the artwork and with different musical styles for each disc. If I queue all discs in MediaPortal, the album cover of Disc #1 will be shown no matter which disc is in play, with corresponding folder.jpg and different ID3 tag embedded images for each album. I really miss this feature, as it feels like some lazy coding. But I don't know anything about coding, so I'm surely wrong.
