To access the photo that is currently used as album cover you can look at the <media:group>. It contains a media:content link to the uncropped version of that photo and a media:thumbnail link to the cropped version of the photo in size 160x160 pixels, as it is displayed in the web UI. Unfortunately the URL won't tell you which photo is currently used. Updating the album cover through the GData API is currently not possible. I can see the usefulness of this. I created a feature request here: http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=1385 Feel free to sign up to get notified about any changes to it.
