Bug Description

Album art from unplayed songs doesn't show in lens. I have a 'cover.jpg' in each album folder. Could the lens search for common cover files in the folder that it finds the song?

See attached picture.

Yeah this is pretty silly, you'd think this would work out of the box with the default player. This is totally broken on every machine I've used 12.10 on, albbum art only shows for played music.

It works properly with banshee, but with banshee there's even worse problems (previews and other things are broken)
