rhythmbox stores album art in ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/covers/${artist}\ -\
${album}.jpg -- at least here it does ;). So what immediately comes to mind
(for me, at least) would be a simple bash script along the lines of
#!/bin/bash
cd ${MUSIC_LIBRARY}
for artist in */
do
for album in */
do
cp "$artist/$album/$album.jpg" "~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/covers/${artist}\ -\
${album}.jpg"
done
done
let me know if that works for you. (you could even make it a one-liner -- i
like those.)
