Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2016-01-06 15:18:13 UTC 
Amarok should expose the album art of the currently played song via MPris.

See [1] for the specification of the "mpris:artUrl" in the Metadata of the MediaPlayer2.Player interface.

1. Play an MP3 file with embedded album art
2.
3.

It depends on the file, it does work with some of them while it always works in VLC.
