title: Fetching album art, as JPEG, PNG etc
body: <p>Can anybody tell me if there is any simple Web API which returns album art as an image, just like the Google Static Map API (<a href="http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/staticmaps/" rel="nofollow">Google Static Map API</a>? I have heard about Amazon's and Last.fm's APIs for this, but can't find any code for that (other than in web languages like PHP/Perl/Ruby etc). Moreover they are REST APIs.
  Any help would be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a simple URL(GET) queries or are there only REST/XML methods?</p>
