Idea: wide display + slideshow

Quote:<you>
...make a folder named "Aretha Franklin", and place some photos in it. When playing Aretha I want to show a slideshow of these photos. Another option would be to programmatically do a google image-search of the playing artist and scrape the results for links to images.

Whatever it is, it should look first for artist artwork in a track’s metadata.

I was just keying off your Aretha example. Some folks have taken advantage of various markup schemes, for example ID3V2 and its picture type

Code:
$00     Other
$01     32x32 pixels 'file icon' (PNG only)
$02     Other file icon
$03     Cover (front)
$04     Cover (back)
$05     Leaflet page
$06     Media (e.g. lable side of CD)
$07     Lead artist/lead performer/soloist
$08     Artist/performer
$09     Conductor
$0A     Band/Orchestra
$0B     Composer
$0C     Lyricist/text writer
$0D     Recording Location
$0E     During recording
$0F     During performance
$10     Movie/video screen capture
$11     A bright coloured fish
$12     Illustration
$13     Band/artist logotype
$14     Publisher/Studio logotype

IMHO if they've done so, their imagery should be available if they chose to display it. (Okay, maybe not the brightly colored fish!)

Anyway, you won't know whether the effort is is too complex or it doesn't seem to fit until you've given it a shot. Once some code is nailed up in your own github project others will surely contribute comments and suggestions.
