If you resize the coverart to 32x32 then reduce it to monochrome using
something like a floyd-steinberg dither, you get ok results.. I had a tinker
with this ages ago, but never really got anywhere other than stressed with
perl.. :-)

Actually I seem to remember 48x32 giving quite good results.. Some covers
come out looking dreadful though..

There's a CPAN floyd-steinberg filter down here which uses gd, which I think
SS uses these days..

Does slimserver allow multi-levels of brightness per pixel yet for custom
screen stuff ?
