Various Artist album covers

I would like to be able to have the library show the cover of the actual VA album but have the cover of the Album the song came from originally show when playing the song.
Is there any way to do this?
If I set preferences to embedded then the cover embedded into the last song on the album is displayed in Library view but the playing screen shows the correct album cover.
If I set preferences to coverfile the VA album cover shows in Library view and on the playing screen.

I don't think that's possible, the way moOde decides where the album-art for a track should come from (or better: the way it generates the thumbnails and/or the now-playing image) dictates what you'll see.
The only way I can think of to achieve this, is a very dirty trick:
you need a ghost track (a one-second mute audio file), indexed to be the last one, having the VA album-art embedded; and chose "embedded" in the prefs. Of course this has the side effect of seeing such a track in the library, too.

Cheers, Al.
