If anyone manages to create and share an amarok script that does displays cd covers in full size while automatically resizing amarok or adjusting itself to a certain empty space, I promise I will clean his house for the next seventeen weeks.
I had sth like this in mind:

I like the idea, but wouldn't Amarok need to download only 256x256 resolution covers (or higher) to scale that well?

In the old days when hard drives were small and bandwidth narrow, it made sense to download only thumbnails from the web, especially if you had a large collection.
Nowadays, however, I find that the covers I have are usually very large and of very good quality, and they take one or two seconds to download.
Ergo,
for those of us who like cd/lp covers, and given that they are not a rare item anymore, I think it would be a nice option.
Anyway, the auto-resize thing seems mandatory.
