Hi!

I solved the issue, I scanned a empty directory so myth would remove
everything from the db, then re-added my music store and did a scan for
music again and voila the albumart is showing up.

I dont know if this is a feature or a bug but in my opinion mythmusic
would, when it is about to play a song, scan the id3 tag and if a image
is present it would show it - but that just my opinion :o)

Thanks for all the input.
