${exec cp "`conkyBanshee --datatype=CA | sed -e 's/\\\//g'`" ~/.album/}${image ~/.album/ -p 0,0 -s 100x100}
This is what previously worked for others, but is not for me. The first command to exec conkyBanshee works perfectly and places the renamed .jpg into my .album directory. The second command however, does not know which cover art to use since it does not reference the actual file just the directory. The error I recieve is simply "Unable to load image". If I add the direct album art into the command line it retrieves it fine, but obviously then it would not allow it to change by the song. What is the best method to use to send the image command the correct file based on the newly renamed image file from the exec? Thanks for any tips, ideas, etc.

It looks like your syntax is slightly wrong. What you want is to copy the album image into a file called .album, not a directory...Try:
Code:
${exec cp "`conkyBanshee --datatype=CA | sed -e 's/\\\//g'`" ~/.album}${image ~/.album -p 0,0 -s 100x100}
instead.
