Amarok 2 Simple
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
I'm releasing this because there's a serious lack of plasmoids for Amarok 2. My design goals were for it to be small without much wasted space, good looking, and have an emphasis on the artwork.
For the best results, please install the recommended fonts. Otherwise, it defaults to Freesans, which isn't that great looking.

Looks like they have been deleted if they were ever uploaded.

It can be enabled by uncommenting and replacing 'path' with 'onclick'.
(applies to the version without time display - which, by the way, even displays time if you uncomment the 'Current time' section)

$ qdbus org.kde.amarok /Player GetMetadata | grep arturl
arturl: file:///mnt/storage/sdd/mp3/iTunes%20Music/Amanda%20Palmer/small_cover.jpg
And then when we use "convert" to make it in /tmp/img.png it failes to read the file.
So the fix is:
$ cat cover.sh
#!/bin/sh
if [ `qdbus org.kde.amarok /Player GetMetadata | grep arturl | cut -d : -f 2` ];
then
convert "`qdbus org.kde.amarok /Player GetMetadata |grep arturl | cut -d : -f 3 | cut -c 3- | sed "s/%20/ /g"`" -resize 157x157! /tmp/img.png
echo /tmp/img.png
else
if [ `qdbus org.kde.amarok /Player GetMetadata | grep lastfm | cut -d : -f 2` ];
then
echo image/lastfm.png
fi
fi
Change line 18 in amarok.theme to:
image x=30 y=14 sensor=program program="sh $HOME/.superkaramba/amarok2-simple/cover.sh" interval=5000
What i cant make work are the buttons, i am using compiz-fusion and kde4 if anybody has a suggestion.

Don't know if it's the same for amaroK 2, not using that version yet. Check if the cover is located there, regards.

Can you please add some time-information (total and remaining time and/or a %-Bar) ?
I'm using Kubuntu Intrepid Ibex with Amarok-KDE4 1.9.4 (KDE 4.1.3) and there's no cover shown (neither in Amarok nor in your Plasmoid, but JuK shows all covers correctly).
I think it's a problem with Amarok, not with your Plasmoid, but do you know a solution or do I have to wait for the next version of Amarok ?

The output of the qdbus-command is empty ('arturl:') but the other metadata-strings are OK.
I normally add covers to my mp3s with Kid3 - and Amarok 1.4.10 shows them without problems.
Do I have to associate the covers in Amarok 2 in another way (...as (local) url) ?
Can you tell me how to do that ?

I think Amarok 2 can handle embedded covers, but you need to build up a musiccollection.
I was too lazy to do that, just wanted to listen to some tracks...
Btw: just downloaded a new version of Amarok (1.98) and maybe something's getting easier - or I must not be so stupid ;)

But in fact, your plasmoid looks pretty. When I switch to Amarok 2 (is there any reason to do it now? I ask seriously), I'll surely try it out.
