A Streaming Question

As devices like the iPhone become more ubiquitous, I'm wondering if AM will be enhanced for some trivial things. (Amazing to even ask this question since I've only been able to hold AM in my palm for a few years to begin with.)

A few apps on the iPhone that stream music deliver album art to the display. Pandora and Flycast are two that I know of. However none of the MP3 streaming apps like TIR or Fstream can do that. I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the Shoutcast streaming service or what. If someone knows the reason for this and if it will be enhanced in the future, would love to know. In other words, does the server side provide the album art in the stream itself, and if yes, is then the client must not be rendering the image.
