kunst

kunst is a deamon that extracts the album art from the songs playing in mpd and displays them in the a little window. It doesn't loop on a timer, instead it waits for mpd to send a player event. When it receives a player event, it wakes up and extracts the album art of the current playing track. This maks kunstreally lightweight and makes it idle at ~0% CPU usage. If a track that is currently playing does not have an embedded album art, an image of a msuic note will be shown.

Note: kunst is meant to be used with files that have embedded album art
