Would it make sense to offer something like this ?

Code:
--------------------
    
http://yourserver:9000/imageproxy/mai/artist/[artist_id]/image.png?nodefault=1
--------------------


So apps that don't want the default icon can use a nodefault=1 parameter
to get a 404 error instead of the default icon provided by the plugin ?

I'm not yet sure if this is something I'm going to use, so don't spend a
lot of time on it, but I could see apps that prefer to use their own
default icons because they fit better with their specific UI than the
icon provided by the plugin.

Is there some kind of bandwidth throttling applied in the plugin due to
LastFM license restrictions which I should worry about before starting
to call the CLI command for a long list of artists ?
