NEW: Spotlight

Many popular albums have multiple releases, often featuring different cover art.
When Spotlight identifies an album in your collection with a green play icon, it should default to displaying the cover saved in your own collection. Spotlight should only be free to pick something else if your own cover art is missing.

Related, Spotlight should look for albums in your library and display them. Now it only displays albums if it finds them in its external searches.

OK, after a few hours playing around I do see albums from my collection with links to play them, and related artists. Very nice addition to the product.
I realize this is brand new, and you may have built the following in or have loads of things already on your plate, so just asking:
Could it change to the next artist when the player starts a new song from a different artist?
Could you add the ability to expanded view of the pictures by clicking on them?
None of my business, but how does it recognize artist and go about finding other albums in my collection? For example, for Randy Newman, it did not show any albums, and boy, do I have a lot of Randy Newman! Sometimes understanding the process would prevent dopey questions from me :) I know I've played with some video streaming server software and some want your directory structure and naming fairly specific but then again, you have a DB of the library. Just curious.
Good stuff I look forward to using.

Yes, but only if it finds the albums with its external search. If it does not find them with its external search, it does not show albums in your library. At least that is what I see.

Spotlight should show albums in your library and let you play them. It's possible the cover art isn't right though.
