Yes, snapshots are always nice to have. > I figured out how to display an image by setting the 'image' > attribute of Item objects. However, mame stores all of its images > in one big zip file.

Look in the cdcover code in audio. It reads the gif from amazon into stream and adds it to the item. > Also, should this information be integrated into the vfs/mediadb?

OK, it is a zip file, maybe we can extract some metadata without unzipping the whole file. Besides an image, additional information would be cool. Dischi -- "error located between ears of user!"
