I just enjoy looking at the cover art, which is the esoteric benefit. 
You are thinking of only the practical benefits. Of course we know what 
CD the song is from, but it's nice to have an elegant way to see the 
cover art. It's about time, frankly, ID3 tags have supported imbedded 
graphics for quite some time now.

I am hoping that someone will come up with a visualizer that displays 
the imbedded cover art. In fact, there is a visualizer that shows the 
cover art already, called "Jacket", but it was written before iTunes 
had the capability to add artwork to files, so "Jacket" currently 
stores the files in a separate folder. I imagine the author is busy 
updating it to work with internally stored files as we speak.

Cheers,

Louis
