Yes, that's what I was thinking; then, beacon would really duplicate all
necessary information. OTOH, we all know this is ugly. Filename columns +
the overlay directory are the right solution.

which are sort of "lossy duplicates". I was talking about real duplicates of
the cover images that could be used/displayed when the respective removable
