I don't know how the cover art plugin is done but I'm wondering if the 'provider' aspect (retrieving covers from amazon, getting it from disk, handling a data base of covers) is well split from the 'display' aspect. Doing so, and providing a good interface for any other plugin to access cover images could leverage any use of it, such as an album-oriented browser, a media-center-like fullscreen mode or a shiny OpenGL based cover display, or anything else.
Might I also add that Banshee retrieves the cover art from the MusicBrainz tag if present, whereas Rhythmbox does not. MBz support would go a long way, at least for me.
