Just an FYI. It looks like htbackdrops.com may be gone. I checked the thread, and about a month ago it stopped responding for some folks and today when I checked I got a "site suspended" page from hostgator. I don't know if they're moving providers and are in the middle of a DNS change, but I won't be surprised if it just died a quiet death.
Unfortunately that leaves AS with only one remote image source, Last.fm. I know that is less than ideal, but all the other services I'd like to implement require the MusicBrainz ID, and right now XBMC doesn't fully support the storing of that ID. I may go ahead and try and figure out how to get the ID using an artist's name and then cache it somewhere. We'll see.
