I'm using sonata+mpd. How do I get album covers to show up?

I think you do it manually, since with me it has never been able to fetch them automatically. Double click on the CD icon , select the Cover Art tab, right click on the CD icon and select either use local image or use remote image... I don't know any other way, that's why I ended up using Gmpc instead

oddly enough after choosing one image for one album, all the others began appearing automatically...weird...

You don't have to set anything, just put a cover.jpg to corresponding album directory and Sonata will fetch it automatically. If no cover file is available, Sonata tries to fetch album images from Internet by default.
