Amarok Folder Icons is a script that sets folder icons for music directories by scanning the current and sub-directories. It facilitates easy identification of music folders.
If you're an avid music listener who wants to better organize their albums and folders, then you'll love Amarok. This software comes loaded with a ton of great features, one of which includes the ability to set the folder icon as the album cover image. However, the catch is that it only works if you let it recognize your music.
But don't worry, there's a solution. The Amarok Folder Icons script is here to save the day. It scans the current directory and subdirectories for music and automatically sets all the folder icons where it can determine that the folder contains tracks from just one album. This is particularly beneficial if you store your albums in a flat structure like '/path/to/your/music/artist name - album name/'.
Installation is a breeze. Simply copy the script to your main music directory and make it executable. Go to your terminal and run '$ chmod +x 'make_amarok_folder_icons.py''. From there, it's time to get to work. Navigate to your music folder directory and enter '$ ./make_amarok_folder_icons.py' into the terminal.
This great script has a couple of requirements, however. You'll need Python 2.5 (patches for Python 2.4 are welcomed!) and pydcop to get the best use out of it. You'll also need Amarok, which is no problem as you're already using it!
Overall, the Amarok Folder Icons script is a must-have for any music lover who wants to better organize their albums and folders in a more streamlined and efficient way. Plus, the latest release adds support for MySQL and Postgresql via dcop interface, making it even more versatile and useful.
