hmmm...the problem is that for local artwork we can give a _p flag for padding the image with transparency, which is what allows it to fit in the specified area. but when we retrieve image remotely, there isn't a means for doing that.

remote image:
{ --[[table: 0x1601b140]]
  { --[[table: 0x160464a0]]
    thumb = false,
    url = "http://images-lev3-1.pandora.com/images/public/amz/2/2/5/0/801655110522_130W_130H.jpg",
    key = "http://images-lev3-1.pandora.com/images/public/amz/2/2/5/0/801655110522_130W_130H.jpg",
    size = 154,
  },
}

local image:
{ --[[table: 0x1603db70]]
  { --[[table: 0x167730a0]]
    thumb = true,
    url = "/music/1424/cover_154x154_p.png",
    key = 1424,
    size = 154,
  },
}

In the skin I'm going to see if I can make the progress bar group, which is the only thing below the artwork, not depend on the placement of the artwork. If that fails, I'm unsure of a solution.

I"m a little confused.  Is the source artwork size different or is it rendered differently?

This only happens with remote, non-square artwork. The issue is that these images don't get transparent padding, and the progress bar's placement is dependent on where the bottom of the artwork is.

Description: layout all progress bar elements from bottom of the screen (LAYOUT_SOUTH)
this allows remote, non-padded, non-square images to not affect the layout of the page
