Amarok Folder Icons
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
Amarok has a builtin function for setting the icon for folders (the one that displays in Konqueror etc) to be the cover image for the album it contains. However, it only works if you let it reorganise your music.
This script will scan the current directory and sub directories for music, and set all the folder icons where it can determine that the folder contains tracks from just one album.
This works best if you store your albums in a flat structure e.g.
/path/to/your/music/artist name - album name/
## Installation ##
Copy the script to your main music directory, and make it executable:
At a terminal:
$ chmod +x 'make_amarok_folder_icons.py'
## Usage ##
At a terminal:
$ cd /to/your/music/folder
$ ./make_amarok_folder_icons.py
## Requirements ##

Please change the category, otherwise users will get errors when they try to download it with the script manager.

thank you for this great script.
just one thing that would be cool is, if it could copy the cover to the folder and link it as folder icon.

Also, I may be getting myself into trouble with Amazon copyright. Currently Amarok handles the Amazon copyright issues itself, and it seems safer to leave it that way.
