I would much rather have the art on a memory card rather than in the internal memory, which is where I believe both Canola and Kagu put their cover art folders)

Currently MediaBox will search for cover art from UKMP, if available. But Canola support is very likely to come, too.
The cover art is stored in ~/.thumbnails/mediabox. ~/.thumbnails is where maemo saves all thumbnails, so MediaBox uses this, too. But it really makes sense to store the thumbnails on the card where the files are on. This is a good idea.

Artist art and downloading cover art are both planned features.

Good idea and easy to implement.
You can expect it soon.

This is planned, too.
