Why is the CAA great and important?

Right now, if you want to have cover art for the music you are listening to, or for an app or a website or for any other reason you can think of, you have three options: you can find each file manually (which takes ages), you can try to find an appropriate image via Google Images (which is unreliable) or you can use a site like Amazon (which has fairly strict terms of service that don't work for everyone). The Cover Art Archive allows people to access cover art that is accurate (and if it happens not to be, the problem can be solved by users) without having to jump through hoops. It also means that if you have a better file than what the service can provide, you can just go and upload it to the archive, without being restricted to the images provided by a specific source.

So you can tag your music files with good-quality images instead of random crap that amazon has.

because looking at cover art is cool and with the caa you can do it anywhere!
