RE: album art

John,

There's several things that have to happen in order to access the
album art:

- file format plugin has to read the album art for its file 
  and then return it in the file header IHXValues;
- HXFileSource in client playback engine would need to add this
  file header to a place in the IHXRegistry (as it currently
  does for Title/Author/Copyright/etc)
- TLC can read this value out of the registry.

The HXSource in the client media playback engine already
adds "Title", "Author", "Copyright", "Abstract", "Description",
and "Keywords" from the file header to the registry. Album art
would need to be added to this list.
