algorythym's dashboard

This is kinda nitpicky, but I was just wondering why Songbird does such a poor job of downscaling and rendering album arts. I mean, that is the same 300 x 300 .jpg Album Art manually put in the metadata of the .mp3 in question, and the difference between iTunes 8 and Songbird 1 is night and day. Now, obviously this is not a reason to use iTunes, but, that can't be right.
