Hello All,
I use librivox rss feeds often through the droid app "Podcast addict". It uses the itunes api and a few others to accomplish rss search results. I noticed that cover art is not included for any librivox audio books via the rss feed.
Looking at a few individual rss feeds, I did not find any cover art jpg (link) in the feed for [atom] or [itunes]. Even though a jpg image is available for download on the books page.
I believe this is something that the librivox rss feed for the individual audio books should have.

We know - it's on a "to do"list when we have our next software upgrade Most first time releases will not have a cover though, as it's not made usually until after the project is catalogued.
There is no date available for the upgrade
There is a whole thread about the feeds.

So, possibly in the future we might be able to see the cover art for those of us subscribing via RSS to the apple Podcast App?
That would be awesome. I was hoping it might happen.
