Whiteboard
I already have started yesterday with the Rhythmbox module.
Here is the Rhythmbox module workflow:
1: Request the cover file path to Rhythmbox through D-Bus
2: If nothing return, search in the current song path for file named 'cover' and having file extension 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'png', ...
3: If nothing found, search in the Rhythmbox cache folder for file with the pattern 'artist - album' and having file extension 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'png', ...
4: If nothing found, and finally, try to download it from amazon and save it to the Rhythmbox cache folder if the enable_
I hope for other music players it will be more easiest. ;)
