It should be noted that there is one case which would break for third party music apps: album art embedded inside MP3 files. In order to read that the app would need read access to the actual music file.

The proper solution for this would be to expand the thumbnailer dbus service to also provide thumbnails for files and not just download album art based on artist and album. Unfortunately this is noticeably harder to get right, security-wise.
