That depends on how many members MadeMusic.com has. At the moment, a new
cover is displayed on the home page every five minutes. The cover rotation
starts with the first cover created on MadeMusic.com and ends with the
most recent cover created, then loops back and starts again from the first
cover. (So if there were 100 members, your cover would be displayed on
the home page once about every 8 hours) Please note that the home page
doesn't reload every five minutes; therefore, if a visitor is viewing
you cover from the main page the cover won't change.
