- Bonus: pull in album cover/details from the net.

# Updates

[dpm, 2013-07-16]
- GSettings app isolation is not in scope for 13.10, so we'll be recommending app developers to keep using LocalStorage for settings
- I've suggested to postpone Dash interaction until we hear from the Unity team on the outcome of the media scanner research they are currently doing
