You bet. If you take the thumbnail you want, and add the '-no' option to
the options portion of the URL, you'll get back a cover without the play
button.

For example,

http://lh5.ggpht.com/-BBPZ78109i4/UfS5lmY-B7I/AAAAAAAApsU/yad4a0uhO0w/s288-no/GOPR0109.jpg

vs

http://lh5.ggpht.com/-BBPZ78109i4/UfS5lmY-B7I/AAAAAAAApsU/yad4a0uhO0w/s288/GOPR0109.jpg

As a bonus freebie, you can add '-k' to kill animation, if you're into that
kind of thing.

Hope that helps,
