I've always wondered why most music programs, if they have support for
album art, display it while the music is PLAYING. Surely a better way
to use it would be during the music SELECTION process.

I mean, in the old days I my CD cover pictures to help pick one to put
in my CD player. I wouldn't stare at the picture when the music was
playing :-)

Using the pictures to select an album to play would especially useful
on the mythbox where navigation from a distance with a remote control
on a TV screen requires a different UI paradigm from traditional PC
based mouse + keyboard music players.

Does anyone know how I would go about implementing such a feature?
IMHO selection is one area that mythmusic is pretty weak, and I'd love
to improve it.
