new iTunes 7 Coverflow is neat

And it is not just neat because it is purty or a nice way to browse your music collection. It's neat because it helps you clean up your ID3 tags.

When you are in Coverflow, there are big question marks for album covers you are missing. Now you can have iTunes go and fetch the covers for you. But it must be an EXACT match for song name, artist, and album. This means that if you have a mainstream song and it is not getting its cover fetched, chances are there is a typo in the ID3 tags.

Obviously there is a chance that the iTunes Music Store just doesn't have the song, in which case you can go to Apple's Dasboard download page and get a Dashboard widget that will search various other places for the cover.
