Maybe a better, if not more convoluted method, would be to get MusicBrainz
to add support for the bands' images, and then Rhythmbox to use MBz in
addition. MBz culls from a variety of sources (including Amazon, but also
others) and adding support for it would be more widely noticeable.

I can't speak for the developers, but I can imagine the reliability of
Google Images for cover art would be very low.
