Using cover art in app

[thejshot]

Is it legally permissible to use a song's cover art in the app?

[Matthew Fecher]

That's a good question. If you actually download and package the artwork in your app bundle, it may be a legal gray area. If you're using Apple's or LastFM's artwork API to stream the art, then it is permissible.

Thanks!

In both cases you can't present it as metadata to describe your app on the AppStore. Apple will reject the app.

Thanks @iDevelopper!
