mp3 player that displays cover art (?)

o iTMS tunes have cover art. How do I see them?

Move to the Options panel. Set LGX to "CA - Load cover art always" [then
tap the green check]. Now, whenever you're in one of the [ i ] panels
(stats, memory, or ID3) the cover image pops and remains for the first
five seconds of play. To re-show it for another five, tap the album name
in the ID3 panel. This applies not only to iTunes mp4 files but most mp3
files using an ID3 PIC or APIC image (jpeg or png). The tune must fully
fit in the CACHE (very easy to do) or no cover art is shown. iTunes, the
app, makes it easy to add images to m4a or mp3 files; you can get cover
art scans from Amazon's music store. Any size scan can be used; scans
too large for the nominal 236x220 area are scaled to fit. For (only) mp3
file artwork, the artwork size must be less than the KB value specified
under LDm in the options panel or the file and/or artwork may be
skipped. Since the default LDm is 128 KB this is seldom a problem. If
you add your own, use 200x200 images, jpeg; 15 KB or so will do. Note
that iTunes will encode in huge PNG if you drag+drop an image, so always
drag+drop (or add) a filename.jpg instead. You can add a jpeg file to
all selected files [such as an album] with one drag+drop in iTunes. See
the cover art picture in the Big Picture graphic.

Well, WMA is already available using the built-in media player, so it
would probably be an unnecessary duplication of code to do that too.
