[mythtv] mythmusic and coverart

[Lance King]

This is along the lines I was thinking of.  I currently (to use the 
mentioned tools) have jpgs named
cover.jpg (name really doesn't matter) in the album directory.   For 
starters mythmusic
wouldn't have to go out and find the cover art.  It could use a 
predefined name in the directory in case
there is a legality issue with coverart.  I could scan in my own album 
covers and store as a jpg.
A good place for cover art, believe it or not, it walmart.com, as well 
as amazon.  Walmart.com has
500x500 images.  I found a Visual Basic program that someone wrote that 
searches walmart.com
and I believe amazon based on a name you enter.  It then displays you 
all the cover art that matches
that name.  You can then select the one you know is it and save to a 
directory.  I was in the process
of createing a Perl/TCL/TK equivalent for this when I got side tracked 
with mythmusic.  I really
don't want to use Winblows for my HTPC.... :-(
