my ncmpcpp script, the execute_on_song_change was basically anshin’s hard work (the sed), this echos the full path of the currently playing song, minus the song itself, into a file, which i then have feh read and then feh searches the dir to find the artwork
not sure what happens if there’s multiple images, but whatever

NOTE: you can also avoid the pain of a constantly open ncmpcpp with a longer now playing script, by checking the mpc current -f %album%, setting it as a var, and checking for change, then doing the same but removing the sed thingy from the ncmpcpp config
i have it with ncmpcpp, because that uses less resources, and i keep ncmpcpp open whenever i’m listening to music
if you like to keep it closed, by all means make those modifications

my configs, plus a script i use for album art (scrot)
