Well, it has to construct the URI and fetch it, which takes time.  If
the Jamendo server were to fail to respond, we'd have to display the "no
cover art" image at some point.  Perhaps we should put in a short
timeout before displaying anything?

In any case, the image will be cached, so subsequent plays will display
it immediately (within the same mainloop iteration).
