I somehow don't like the idea of creating/polluting the filesystem with thousands of small album art images. I sure hope they won't show up in the image gallery

How does the media player widget handle this? I guess it creates the album art of the current playing song on the fly.

Couldn't this be done by the 'now playing' daemon also? Or would it create a too long delay before the notification is displayed? I wouldn't mind an extra second or so delay before the notification is shown.
