Yes, it does, but if Banshee already found/downloaded a cover art
image in previous versions, it copied/cached it in
~/.cache/album-art/, and Banshee 1.2.1 won't even attempt to find it
anywhere else. Note that it also then copies/caches scaled versions
in subdirectories of ~/.cache/album-art/.

Just a note, zwaldowski, if you try to play around with this: you won't be able to get the album-art cache to produce a copy of the art within Banshee. It doesn't parse the name such that it will grab the copy, with or without parentheses.
