Well I also was a little curious about that things.

But if the Album has a cover you should have no problem to provide it in any 
size needed ( qt can scale image as needed. sql and now nepomukcollection are 
doing this. They store the scaled image to cache them in the amarok folder). 

Well and hasImage( int size)  needs a size but as you can scale the image 
anyway you could possibly just ignore the size parameter and just return if 
there is a image or not in anycase.  (as you can provie a image in any size if 
you have one)

The thing is: If you also do the caching in a similiar way we should consider 
moving that code out of the collections and in some helper class used for 
every collection.
