GrowlTunes uses plugins to get the artwork, the primary artwork is
retrieved from iTunes using AppleScript, however if the song in
question doesn't have any, it falls back on the plugins to provide a
suitable image. Currently there are plugins that retrieve artwork
from Synergy's storage, and the ARTwork archive storage that is shared
between Quicksilver, Sofa, and other iTunes applications. Among these
plugin is an amazon lookup, that one is contained in it's own bundle
so the code for just that functionality is by itself.
Also, PA, yes NSURL and NSXMLParser would be enough to do the job, but
he asked for an example so I pointed him to one.
