While randomly surfing for PPA’s, I came across this amazing software script Cover Thumbnailer that allows you to have an easy to navigate music collection in Ubuntu Linux. It enhances the way your music collection folders look, generating album covers for music folders.
Its simply searches through the cover pictures inside any album folder and displays it as folder’s cover that gives a nice look to your collection. It is completely written in python and much compatible with Nautilus File Browser.
How to Install Cover Thumbnailer in Ubuntu ?
The installation is simple, just like for any other software script in ubuntu. To install this python script, open terminal and type the following lines of code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:flozz/flozz
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cover-thumbnailer
Now, to run Cover Thumbnailer go to System >> Preferences >> Cover Thumbnailer
Add music folders to Cover Thumbnailer‘s Music tab to show thumbnails for your music albums. Finally, login again to see the changes!
Drop your comments if you know any other cool script as this one!
