Now I had about 300 cassette tapes I took the time to do a high quality copy to mp3 for safety. It was a good thing since all the tapes got ruined on my last overseas move in the Army. Some are not available anywhere on mp3 as far as I know, but most are available for purchase thru Itunes. I for one do not want to lose those songs because a customs agent believes that a song with no cover art is stolen.
Well, all you have to do is have iTunes look up the cover art for you. It will download cover art for any mp3s that you have. I have burned hundreds of my cds to mp3, and all I had to do to get cover art was to ask iTunes to look the art up for me and apply it to the album.

So ..... since it's easy to rectify, I don't see why the presence or absence of cover art would make any difference whatsoever.
