I agree, we should just remove it. I never liked it anyway (it was a
N9 requirement which we probably should have placed in a #ifdef MEEGO
#endif)

You think we should remove it entirely or use a top level directory for
removable media?

Sam, any comment on this, I know you've worked on this API in the past and wanted to know if you had any input here.

Hi!

I don't think it's useful to store the media art cache on removable media. I think we should store all cached media art in ~/.cache/media-art. Usually people use a removable storage device in only a few different computers. It's rare that they plug the device into a new computer every day, and that's the only time that having the cache stored on the device itself is really an advantage.
