I'm hard of hearing with a severe to profound hearing loss (and no not from music fortunately) thus the reason for my post; music has been quite a feat since its hard for me to cherry pick the words while music is playing think of an 3D image that an eye can only see in 2D my ear only works with one layer at a time LOL but with synchronized lyrics I somehow can hear the words through the music so I'm excited to see newer technology available to offer this.
Lyrics on a CD cover alone isn't going to help but its a starting point, I've noticed that when I buy mp3s (I'm starting to see this is a mistake as many songs I want are already on spotify and I have a monthly premium subscription and I can take those songs offline with me) but more importantly, there's no CD cover or lyrics provided and I have yet to understand why this isn't included its as if you're buying a CD without the words! (Ok I have to admit its pretty rare to see CDs without the lyrics as there are few out there).
Furthermore; I don't understand why Lyrics have a separate copyright from the music itself; it belongs to the music isn't it? (If you notice spotify removes lots of lyrics because the publisher wants it removed... WTH??? I depend on those! (and its ironic that spotify offers "lyric art" yet I have not seen any put into action because many lyrics get taken down. (I don't know of any app like Media Monkey that offers synced lyrics yet)
Ok anyway, so my question stands: howcome I can't get the Album cover when I buy music in digital formats? (I have just found out its possible to buy music in wav/flac formats at a higher price but I don't know if those come with the Album cover? (oh yeah I know that MM can look for album covers, but that usually does not come with the lyrics).
