First of all, thank you for the new version, it's awesome! Is album covers intentional on Artists? it would be better to have artist images instead, fetched from Last.fm for example, that way it's more clear to look what to listen.

Artist image is retrieved from their first album's cover by default, and fetches from Last.fm's if one is found.

The image will only be updated if the artist is played.
