Not really. I'd say Grilo could use it for populating the media art
cache using its last.fm or tmbd plugins to make those available to other
consumers or use it in it's local metadata plug-in to get the cached
media art. So all Grilo users would profit.

To me, thumbnails are a preview of a file while media art is something
like CD cover, movie posters, ...
