Description

Currently UAMP stuffs Bitmaps into the MediaMetadataCompat objects, but this makes the object use a lot more memory, and forces the use of low resolution images (which are then poorly rendered on large surfaces, such as the background of the lock screen).

The app should use local URIs that point to a ContentProvider and use METADATA_KEY_ALBUM_ART_URI and METADATA_KEY_ART_URI to provide that for use by other components.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing use of MediaMetadataCompat and replace Bitmap assignments with URI strings using METADATA KEY ALBUM ART URI and METADATA KEY ART URI. Ensure a ContentProvider is set up to serve the artwork files.
