The program will automatically display the covers of the currently playing song in its interface. Next to the cover are information about the title, artist, album, playing time and basic controls to start, stop and skip songs. Several player specific options are available in the menu including rating songs or adding them to playlists.

The program will use the covers that are available in the music player or folder of the music. It has options to search for album covers which is helpful if no cover art is available for the selected song or album. The covers can then be easily added to the album.

The window can be set to be always on top, locked or pinned to the desktop. CD Art Display is highly configurable and comes with its own skin repository at Deviant Art which contains dozens of skins for the player.

The options are extensive. Users who hide the taskbar will be glad that the balloon tips that appear in the system tray can be disabled. It is also possible to add additional cover directories or make the program download covers automatically from sources like Amazon.
