Have someone tried to work with Amazon Web Services to get the album artwork?
I get some VB codes and I figuring out some way to translate to netlinx?
You only need the dock reponse have Artist and/or music name...
It gives a .XML with the image URL. ]
It's a shame AMX haven't developed one module for this. (Obs: i got some information there is some C* modules that uses this way for their ipod dock's)
I've seen the HTTP request and is something like this
http://webservices.amazon.com/onca/xml?Service=AWSECommerceService&Version=2005-03-23&Operation=ItemSearch&SubscriptionId=[YOUR AMAZON ID ]&AssociateTag=[YOUR AMAZON KEY]&SearchIndex=Music&Artist=[QUERY PARAMETERS]&ResponseGroup=Images
You need to sign up to get your AMAZON ID and AMAZON KEY, at http://aws.amazon.com/
the QUERY PARAMETERS are the music and artist.
but still there is something going wrong, probably amazon change something and the request don't work (the code that I get was developed in 2004)
So if anyone know the request that is needed, please share.
Ok guys so let's try making this thing work!

I resorted to using www.apisigning.com. You supply the unsigned request and it returns the signed URL. Works pretty fast.
The apisigning should work
But for Sha1 checksum, probably exists a java code for that, then could be possible create a duet module for this checksum.
