Its a valid scenario but shouldn't you store the rotating cdart per songs albumpath? e.g say an album is split in /foo/part1 /foo/part2 you'd want it to have /foo/part1/cdart.png /foo/part2/cdart.png (Its normal if you consider multidisk albums, atleast I store them almost like that).
So you could do something like
Code:
for each song in GetSongs(albumid)
if (not file.Exist(StripFilePath(song["file"]) + 'cdart.png'))
DownloadCDArt()
This way it would cover the multidisk for free, yeah it would be a tad more work that just getting the paths but not a whole lot.
I haven't really dabbled with the cdart stuff so I might very well be missing something though
Also if so many skins use it this might want to get proper support in core.

keep up the good work!
Something we for sure want, hopefully everything will be in place for that in eden. (waiting on a better image library for it).
Will also hopefully support transcoding of video with the same goal.
