The blurred background on these will be tricky because I need to use a node module or some other javascript to blur the cover art image on the fly. Looking into imagemagick to do this.

I think that a better solution is to save multiple version of the preview image when publishing.
For audio: An optimal size (in case their preview image is huge), a thumbnail, and a blurred version of the optimal-size image.
For video: Optimal size and thumbnail.
Only the original filename needs to be stored in the json because we can use a predetermined naming method to reference the others.
