Hi! I really appreciated how incredibly responsive you were the other day, and how someone else already had a pull request for it. I really had no idea that was a winamp plugin "scene" on github that I was unaware of.

Anyway... Would it be possible to add a configuration checkbox (or even INI/.rc file or whatever) to change this one behavior:

When you pause or stop, the plugin erases now_playing.jpg

And I totally get that. The file is called now playing, and now, it is not playing, so it's technically incorrect. Makes totally sense why that decision was made.

However, I'd like to have the option to change that behavior, and leave the image in place
when paused and stopped.
[Maybe still delete them on winamp.close()??]

basically.. I'm using that file for my dashboard, and I don't want to have to cache the image because i want to keep the resource profile as low as possible, which is another reason I like using your plugin to get the album art. I'm positive it does it more efficiently than me doing it in non-compiled non-winamp-plugin python code :) Thus lightening the load for my winamp_dashboard project.

Might have to rename it though. It now detects vlcplayer too, if I've stopped winamp, and tells me that instead. So whether i'm listening to music or watching movies, the dashboard remains accurate.
