kunst is good if you like the album art outside the player. But on testing a while ago we found it can’t handle embedded art very well. Please keep adding ideas.

One can use w3m & w3m-ing which works good too but, I prefer to use Ueberzug

This is a typical w3m albumart script. Added to the config execute_on_song_change= “~/.ncmpcpp/art.sh”

#!/bin/bash

#put this file to ~/.ncmpcpp/ and name it art.sh or what ever you want. Make executable

MUSIC_DIR=/var/lib/mpd/music/ #path to your music dir

COVER=/tmp/cover.png

function reset_background
{
    printf "\e]20;100x100+1000+1000\a"
}

{
    album="$(mpc --format %album% current)"
    file="$(mpc --format %file% current)"
    album_dir="${file%/*}"
    [[ -z "$album_dir" ]] && exit 1
    album_dir="$MUSIC_DIR/$album_dir"

    covers="$(find "$album_dir" -type d -exec find {} -maxdepth 1 -type f -iregex ".*/.*\(${album}\|cover\|folder\|artwork\|front\).*[.]\(jpe?g\|png\|gif\|bmp\)" \; )"
    src="$(echo -n "$covers" | head -n1)"
    rm -f "$COVER" 
    if [[ -n "$src" ]] ; then
        #resize the image's width to 300px 
        convert "$src" -resize 300x "$COVER"
    if [[ -f "$COVER" ]] ; then
           #scale down the cover to 30% of the original
           printf "\e]20;${COVER};30x30+50+95:op=keep-aspect\a"
          
          else
            reset_background
        fi
         else
            reset_background
        fi
} &
