ooh i like that a lot! perhaps you can share the images when you're done
i played with genre images for a while. i actually set my lower image viewer to cycle between the artist picture and the genre picture. but i was going crazy with them, doing one for all of my genre-style combination. it got a bit intense.
but i love the background image idea, it looks really great
album ratings - yikes. for me, the only way i could do that is by manually calculating it based on the mean of all the track ratings. i really wish there were a component that did it for me, but alas, nothing like that exists...
