It would be a lot of work, and probably pretty much impossible, for
Banshee to migrate 100% of the info Amarok has.  We try to import the
most important things, including play counts, and podcast
subscriptions.  You can file an enhancement bug if you think the album
art migration warrants it.  See
http://banshee-project.org/contribute/file-bugs

And, you're more than welcome to work on it, see
http://banshee-project.org/contribute/write-code/ and
