Enhancement: There should be an option to automatically add missing album art from internet using a default search engine or other..

Phonograph used to fetch artist images from last.fm. Recently it was discontinued by last.fm. Since then the artist images are collage or album arts. If you have you can suggest alternative services which can provide the artist images and if someone hasctime they may add that functionality to the app.

I don't know the technicalities here. Would you consider the album art download option of other music players such as p0weramp

I added the feature on my repo (branch 'my_branch'). It gets the images from Deezer and, if not found, on Spotify. As they both changed their legal terms of use I'm not sure the functionality can be added to the main repo.

I try to folow the changes made on the main repo to be up to date. Feel free to checkout the branch and build the application by yourself.

This branch also add the functionnality that gets lyrics from miniLyrics to display them while the song is played.
