MP3 ID3 Album/Cover Art (build-in thumb) support

Auto build thumbs from MP3s with PC format cover art

All the suggestions to retrieve ID3 tags including cover art from allmusic.com/CDDB etc are ok, but lots of people have already done this for their music collections on the PC - tools like Tag&Rename from softpointer.com are probably always going to be quicker/easier than doing it on the XBOX.

For those of us with several hundred albums already catalogued, including cover art, it would be really useful if XBMC could be configured to fetch the cover art (from either configurablename.jpg in the album folder, or from the ID3 tag in the first track say), resize it to required thumbnail size, and save it locally in the defined thumbs directory.

It would also be neat if it could use an understandable name for the dynamically generated thumbs, as the current thumbnail cache is a little difficult to manually update if you want to delete an autogenerated thumbnail.

looking for a build-in feature similar to this Java script: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mp3imagetagextr/ But it needs to be coded in C or C++
