HI Reaven.
I Got It working, mostly. The Default cd-art image (for when there is no cd art available) is not coming up. And since I Have a rather large music collection, that what i'll be using mostly. I Copied all of your folders and files over my Aeon install. Is there something wrong?

You can also do roughly the same with a free program called Gimp.

I use the GIMP for all mine. I use the circular selection tool and force a 1:1 aspect ratio to make a perfectly circular selection. Then I just drag the boundaries until it encompasses the CD. Then I crop to selection and repeat for the center hole, only cutting the selection instead of cropping. Then I resize and save to png. Easy.

I've been looking at templates, haven't found one yet, but it seems you should be able to make a template of those cuts outs and just import a cd cover image onto them, line it up a bit if it's needed and save.

reaven, just wondering, didn't you use a texture diffuse in one of the previous versions?
if you use a diffuse overlay in the skin then there would be no need to make all those cd images transparent.
something like this:
<texture diffuse="home/disc_mask.png" fallback="backdrops/artist_fanart/default/default.png">backdrops/artist_fanart/cd/$INFO[MusicPlayer.Artist]-$INFO[MusicPlayer.Album].png</texture>
