[mythtv-users] No cover art in MythMusic 0.20? Also, any chance it'll ever rip to AAC?

I would swear that the cover art attached to nearly my entire music collection
showed up in previous versions of MythMusic.  I just set up an external hard
drive last night to serve as a backup of what's on my iPod and decided to plug
it in and let MythMusic browse it.  It plays everything OK (a mix of MP3 and
AAC files), but none of the cover art shows up.  I know there's cover art
attached to nearly everything as I went through my collection a while back and
added cover art where it was needed.

I also set out to go through my CDs and rip them so my iPod can play them.  I'd
like to use AAC somewhere near 192 kbps, but MythMusic won't rip to AAC.  I
ended up ripping the CDs to WAV with K3B and converting WAVs to AAC with FAAC,
but it'd be nice to have this capability within MythMusic.  Is such a fix
already in the works, or is it something that I should consider doing?  (I
suppose this question would be better asked on the mythtv-dev list, but what's
involved in adding codec support to the MythMusic ripper?  With the iPod as
popular as it is, I'm a bit surprised that there isn't already AAC support in
MythMusic.)
