Album Art on Live Streams

First of all, congratulation for Centova Cast. It's a great product and we're are considering to use it as a platform for our broadcast hosting service.

Although it's almost perfect for our purposes, it miss an important feature: During live streams even if I update the song metadata, it don't search the album art over the internet.
In few words, it's seems impossible fetch album arts outside the AutoDJ feature.

We have a lot of customers that own a private FM radio and the AutoDJ feature it's not directly needed. Instead, a live stream with Album art based on song name it's a mandatory.

There any possibility to enable this feature?

Thanks in Advance,

This is an issue I've explained quite a few times on the forums here but in a nutshell, the performance of searching Amazon/iTunes/etc. is poor and it's not really ideal to try to do that in the middle of an AJAX call to the server.  Also there is no guaranteed formatting on a user-supplied metadata string so it may be hard to identify it definitively, whereas we control the format of the autoDJ metadata string so we can easily parse it to look up the (pre-downloaded) cover.

That said, it's something we're looking at for the future.
