The AlbumArt visualization was written to provide visuals for
albums--collections of songs. It allows the user to place multiple
images in the directory and (randomly) chooses one of the images for
display. Therefore, to get a different image for each "track," you
would have to a) keep each track in a separate directory with it's
associated image or b) write a TrackArt visualization. :)
