Are the ones listed at that URL with "Support in MB Server" the ones
that will show up in the MBz window?

Is support in picard for cover art sources other than Amazon being considered?

How about Last.fm as a cover art source?  I believe they have an API
or at least friendly URL structure.  gmpc uses Last.fm as a cover art
source to great affect.

Alternatively, is it possible to get the user-submitted art from Amazon?
