MPD apparently handily reads inside .zip files, but mcg does not?

One reason people might prefer to keep things in zip is that bandcamp and jamendo upload .zip's and they also don't have folders in them, which is annoying when unpacking.(no idea why they do that..)

Perhaps could also look in id3 tags.. but that's more complicated yet.. Actually an alternative view is that MPD should do all this stuff..

Thanks for your suggestion, @o-jasper. The next version (3.0) reads the cover images from MPD via the albumart command (see #30). Any support for images in zip files will therefore be needed on the server side—if not yet supported.
