I did exactly this. I used an Amarok script add-on called "CopyCover", available from
http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=22517 It is intended to copy the cover of the currently played song to the song's physical dir location, but there is also an "offline" version of the script which I modified to copy all covers in Amarok's album cache to one directory, using names like <Artist> - <Album>.jpg This folder is then used as a common album art folder in SlimServer's settings (I personally prefer this solution over the folder.jpg approach because you can more easily do things on ALL the covers, e.g. reorganize them or run batch image processing on all of them). It took about one hour of manual post-processing as some of the artist/album names contain strange characters and stuff like that but now it works like a charm. Just to prevent avoidable confusion/damage to your music and artwork files: read the README file of the copycover script package before executing anything. There is a command line switch for only pretending to do copy the covers in order to show what the script WOULD do. You might find this useful... I also slightly modified the script to first copy everything to a "working directory" so that nothing was done/changed in the server files themselves before I was sure everything was sorted out correctly. Hope this gives any help to your plans.
