Why no more 'artwork' for mp3 files?

This is probably being picky, but how come there is no more 'artwork' (album cover) embedded in the podcast mp3 files anymore? Since all the way back in 2005 there's always been a picture in the file, like of John or Jenny, but suddenly starting in June it went away.

It's not a huge deal, but depending on what you use to organize your podcasts, suddenly there's not a nice picture anymore for Chinesepod files. Is there a reason this went away?

Perhaps they are removing John's picture from the publicity since he left some time ago.

Yeah maybe, but they've used a lot of other pictures in the past without John, seems like they could simply use one of those instead.

Maybe John was the one that was adding the artwork to the .mp3 files, and now that he's gone nobody else knows how to do it :-)
