I remember that CAA was available as an artwork source when I started using MusicBee.  I don't remember why it was removed, but I wonder if it's worth giving it another try now?

Thanks!

They should have tons of covers, because everything contributed to Musicbrainz is there.  If they're not showing up on MusicBee's end, maybe I can help dig into why.

Probably another good reason to support MBIDs, for easy retrieval.  :D

actually MB already has functionality to retrieve the musicbrainz id from a music file when retrieving data from websites that require it such as fanart.tv
